The DSHS Laboratory does not accept parasitology specimens from the public. Only healthcare providers can order parasitology tests and submit specimens for testing. Specimens submitted by the public will be rejected and destroyed. If you believe you have a parasitic infection, please talk with your healthcare provider. Laboratory staff cannot provide medical advice. Your provider will contact the DSHS Parasitology Laboratory for specimen submission requirements, if needed. |
