No one is protected from the penetration of helminths into the body. This problem is very delicate, so people, fearing condemnation, treat worms at home. However, it is better to consult an infectious disease specialist and undergo therapy under the guidance of a doctor.
But you can also deal with parasites on your own. There are hundreds of different options in the arsenal of traditional medicine, because this is an old problem that was solved long before the first pills appeared. In this article we will talk about the potential danger of helminthiasis to humans, as well as how to get rid of worms.
How do worms enter the human body?
The human body is an ideal habitat for parasites: the human body is always warm and moist, so there is enough food for them. Helminths try to get inside by all available means:
- with unwashed hands, dirty toys;
- with food of animal origin that has not undergone sufficient heat treatment;
- through untreated water (when swimming in a lake or river);
- during contact with pets (fur, saliva);
- from mother to child through the placenta;
- during an intimate relationship;
- through the blood.
Once inside the body, the worms move through the organs and colonize the space from the liver to the eyes and brain. Although the life of an adult worm rarely exceeds 2 months, this period is enough to leave a rich offspring.
How dangerous are parasites?
It is vital to fight against helminths, because they pose a serious threat to the body:
- reduction of immunity. Constant colds, inflammatory processes, infections are caused by worms. A person can "run to doctors", drink immunostimulants and not know the real reason for poor health.
- cause intoxication. During life, helminths release toxic substances. By accumulating in the body, they cause poisoning and serious organ damage.
- cause allergies. A patient can undergo hundreds of tests for allergens and not realize that getting rid of worms is enough to solve the problem.
There are about 250 species of parasites, and infection with some of them leads to terrible consequences:
- Intestinal volvulus.
- Liver cirrhosis, abscess.
- Pneumonia, bronchitis.
- Brain damage, paralysis.
- childlessness.
- severe anemia
- Fatigue, developmental delay in childhood.
Signs and symptoms of infection
Symptoms of parasites in the body:
- Weakness, a person gets tired quickly;
