What a wonderful guide for parents to understand specific risks and modes of prevention for parasitic infections both in your own backyard and abroad. As a pediatric provider, I am so grateful to have access to the mind of Dr. Simon through this accurate and evidence based resource! --Allison Ward, MSN, CPNP-PC This book is not only a great resource for parents but also healthcare providers! Although pre-travel vaccinations and medications may greatly decrease one's risk of a travel related illness, we all know that these measures are not foolproof. And, as a care provider, I can readily attest that a concise book like this will help me quickly drill down to the most likely culprit for a patient presenting with illness after recent travel. The handbook also has great information regarding parasitic infections that do not require extensive travel to acquire. Any family with a pet or recreational swims, whether the activity be in a chlorinated pool, freshwater or the ocean, has increased risk for parasitic illness. Arming caregivers and medical providers with anticipatory guidance ensures a healthier family, and if infection does occur, a faster road to recovery. --Erin L. Wilson, APRN, C-PNP Much of the information in Dr. Simon's Parasitology for Parents is admittedly not pleasant to think about, which makes it even that much more important to be aware of. Dr. Simon has established himself as a trusted resource to parents and caregivers to provide crucial health data for families to reference. We are all fortunate to have access to this kind of research, so we don't have to do it ourselves when the time comes to need it; we just have to buy the book! --Penne Lentz This will be a great reference for parents and providers. I had a 15 month old about 1.5 years ago who came in with a worm in a jar they had pulled out of her anus while changing her diaper. Sent it to the lab and it was identified as an Ascaris worm. Mom thinks she may have gotten it playing in the dirt at her grandparents farm where they do have pigs. Yuck!! --Emily E. Robinson, APRN, CPNP-PC, CLC There is a lot of information. I like the breakdown by geographic location. --Michael Vossmeyer, MD
