PARASITE PICS: Clonorchis Sinensis (Liver Fluke) or Fasciolopsis Buski (Intestinal Fluke) (Amended)
Hi Coco ~~
The parasite pic you posted below is a Fluke, either an intestinal or liver type.
Your pic is blurry, so it's difficult to see the details.
The next time you take photos, do close-up shots. Lay a coin, ruler, or paperclip next to the specimen so the size can be determined. If you take more than one pic, aim from different angles so that more of the features can be seen.
My best guess is Clonorchis Sinensis (Liver Fluke) or Fasciolopsis Buski (Intestinal Fluke).
You can search for liver & intestinal flukes at google.com under the search category "Pictures" or "Images." You'll find more pics there for comparison to your specimen.
Suggest you take your specimen & pics to your doctor for lab testing to confirm the identity.

Praziquantel kills adult Flukes in the liver, GI tract, blood, pancreas, & lungs. Albendazole systemically kills the eggs, larva, & cysts leftover in the body from the adults killed.
Flukes are a very difficult parasite to eliminate. So you may have to do 2 or more cycles of both meds for a cure.
Hope this info helps you in your parasite battles!
Good luck & keep us posted on your progress ~~ feedback helps everyone on both forums!
