What symptom is NOT associated with roundworms?

Chills are not typically associated with roundworm infections. Roundworms, such as Ascaris lumbricoides, generally cause gastrointestinal symptoms due to their presence in the intestines. Common symptoms include diarrhea, which can occur as a result of the body’s response to the worms, and abdominal pain or cramping.

Intestinal obstruction may occur if a large number of roundworms gather in the intestines, blocking the passage of food and waste. Intestinal rupture is a more severe complication that can happen if there is significant damage to the intestinal wall, often due to a high worm burden. While these symptoms are serious, chills are more commonly associated with infections or other systemic illnesses rather than directly with roundworm infestations. Therefore, chilling symptoms do not relate to the typical clinical picture presented by roundworm infections.
