This is kind of an embarrassing question, but are there many problems with parasites in Panama? I ask because now that we're back, a couple of us have had some cramping and frequent trips to the restroom, but no severe symptoms. I was trying to decide if they might have a parasite or if their systems just got out of balance with all of our travels.
I had read that many expats in Nicaragua routinely take preventative meds for parasites. Is this something that many of you do in Panama?
Sorry for getting so personal, but any advice would be appreciated. :)
