Following an infection, symptoms like fever, chills, coughing, and muscle aches may appear within one to two months. In addition, schistosomiasis can last for years if left untreated. With millions of infections globally, it is ranked by the World Health Organization as the second-most socioeconomically destructive parasitic illness.
