In addition to humans, pigs and other animals carry the disease. People who raise pigs have bigger risk of getting infected with balantidiasis. Balantidiasis is often asymptomatic. But in some cases the patient might have diarrhea, weight loss and dysentery.
The spins is an adverse reaction of intoxication that causes a state of vertigo and nausea, causing one to feel as if spinning out of control, especially when lying down. It is most commonly associated with drunkenness or mixing alcohol with other psychoactive drugs such as cannabis. This state is likely to cause vomiting, but having the spins is not life-threatening unless pulmonary aspiration occurs.
Infections and head injuries can also cause you to feel off balance. Medications to treat these conditions and other medical conditions often have a side effect of drowsiness or dizziness. It is important to talk with your doctor or pharmacist to find out what effect your medication may have on your balance.
