10. Colic or excessive crying in infants

When an infant has a hookworm, it may be difficult to identify. If a baby seems uncomfortable due to gastrointestinal issues and is located in a developing country where hookworms are common, this may be the cause. Evaluation of the stool can determine a diagnosis. The stool of an infected person will have hundreds or thousands of eggs in it, especially after the third week of infection.
