No one is safe from helminths entering the body. This problem is very sensitive, so people treat worms at home, fearing condemnation. However, it is best to consult an infectious disease specialist and undergo therapy under the guidance of a physician.
But you can deal with parasites on your own. In the arsenal of traditional medicine, there are hundreds of different options, since 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 get into the human body?
The human body is an ideal habitat for parasites: the human body is always warm and humid, so there is plenty of food for them. Helminths try to get in with all available means:
- with unwashed hands, through dirty toys;
- with food of animal origin that has not undergone adequate heat treatment;
- through untreated water (while swimming in a lake or river);
- when in contact with pets (fur, saliva);
- from mother to baby through the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- through blood.
Once inside the body, the worms move through the organs, populating 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 behind rich offspring.
How dangerous are parasites?
The fight against helminths is vital, as they pose a serious threat to the body:
- reduces immunity. Constant colds, inflammatory processes, and infections are caused by worms. A person can "run to the doctor", drink immunostimulants, and not know about the real cause of the bad health.
- leads to poisoning. During their life, helminths emit toxic substances. Accumulating in the body, they cause poisoning and serious organ damage.
- cause allergies. The patient can use hundreds of tests to detect allergens and not realize that it is enough to get rid of the worms to solve the problem.
There are about 250 types of parasites, and infection with some of them has frightening consequences:
- intestinal volvulus.
- liver cirrhosis, abscess.
- pneumonia, bronchitis.
- brain damage, paralysis.
- infertility.
- severe anemia.
- exhaustion, developmental delay in childhood.
Signs and symptoms of infection
Symptoms of the presence of parasites in the body:
- weakness, one gets tired quickly;
- low hemoglobin (although this does not always happen).
- increased anxiety, restless sleep, teeth grinding at night.
- Digestive problems: constipation or diarrhea may occur (depending on the type of intestinal worm).
- frequent allergic reactions.
- muscle and joint pains.
- difficulty breathing.

In advanced cases, complications occur. Therefore, it is important to immediately suspect the presence of helminthic infection and get rid of the worms quickly.
If a helminthic infection is suspected, a stool test is performed. To clarify the diagnosis, it may be necessary: smear, ultrasound of internal organs, muscle biopsy, blood test, etc.

If the stool analysis shows the presence of parasite eggs, the treatment should be continued. You can buy the medicine at the pharmacy, they have a wide selection. But the list of disadvantages is no less extensive:

Knowing this, many people prefer to treat helminths on their own, using remedies that have been proven for generations.
