Is there anything else I need to know about an ova and parasite test?There are steps you can take to help prevent a parasite infection. They include:Always wash your hands after going to the bathroom, changing a diaper, and before handling food.Don't drink water from lakes, streams, or rivers, unless you know for sure it has been treated.When camping or traveling to certain countries where the water supply may not be safe, avoid tap water, ice, and uncooked foods washed with tap water. Bottled water is safe.If you are unsure if water is safe, boil it before drinking. Boiling water for one to three minutes will kill the parasites. Wait until the water cools before drinking.
