Since categorized in the highly reactive oxygen species , it should do the trick knowing it is high in oxygen.
Giardia is a disease or a parasite that is often found in dogs. The official cdc and priory sites are the best sources available for finding information on this problem.
These are anaerobic flagellated protozoan ( protists ), so flagella instead of cilia.
I do not think so, but giardia is a protist that exists in lumens of intestines where it live on the glucose from food the organism has eaten. So, seaweed seems out of the picture here, but I am not an expert in this area.
Amoebas use pseudopodia to engulf food, phytoplankton produce their own food, and G. lamblia is a parasite that feeds on a host.
Giardia may be sexually transmitted, but it's usually transmitted by drinking water infested with the parasite.
Giardia can be prevalent in your environment - either in your home or in your community. Your dog might become infected by ingesting stool, getting bits of stool on their paws or body and later cleaning themselves or from drinking water (clear running streams and city puddles can both contain Giardia. In addition, once a dog is infected, it is likely that the parasites will make themselves comfy in your home. This is challenging as Giardia is extremely difficult to kill. The cysts can live outside of their hosts for long periods of time. They are resistant to heat, UV light and most cleaners. A heavy mix of bleach and water OR ammonia and water can kill the parasites. Both ammonia and bleach are toxic to animals and people so take great care in using either of these in living areas. Please check with your vet for the proper mix and application of these substances. You may be able to get Giardia from your pet. Wash hands completely and make sure to disinfect the entire house. Although frustrating, this is a common infection.
Abdominal cramps is the primary symptom of giardia infection.
Antibiotics - usually metronidazole.
