The Parasite and Infestation Study

Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Summary

Many people have evidence of bugs, parasites, and infestation, but are told by others that they cannot find a cause. This distressing and frustrating experience can last for years, as the person seeks answers. The current study aims to understand the experience of these individuals. In a 1-2 hour session over Zoom, the investigators will ask participants questions about their experience, have them complete self-report questionnaires, and ask them to complete a few games on the computer. The investigators' goal is to help characterize and understand individuals with this experience to aid in better treatment and inform recommendations for providers.
