A key risk factor for heterophyiasis is the consumption of undercooked or raw Freshwater Fish that harbor the larvae of the Heterophyes species, which are parasitic flatworms. People living in or traveling to endemic areas, particularly in Southeast Asia, are also at increased risk due to cultural dietary practices. Additionally, poor sanitation and hygiene can facilitate the transmission of the parasites, contributing to the risk of infection.
