No one is safe from helminths entering the body. This problem is very subtle, so people, fearing condemnation, treat worms at home. However, it is better to consult an infectious disease specialist and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
But you can also deal with pests yourself. There are hundreds of different options in the arsenal of traditional medicine, since this is an old problem that was solved long before the first pills appeared. In this article we will talk about the possible threat 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 plenty of food for them. Helminths try to get inside by all available means:
- through unwashed hands, dirty toys.
- with food of animal origin that has not undergone sufficient heat treatment;
- through untreated water (while swimming in a lake or river).
- in contact with domestic animals (with fur, saliva).
- from mother to baby through the placenta.
- during intimacy;
- through the blood.
Once inside the body, the worms travel through the organs, inhabiting 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 rich offspring.
How dangerous are parasites?
It is vital to combat helminths, because they pose a serious threat to the body:
- reduce immunity. Constant colds, inflammatory processes, infections are caused by worms. A person can "run to doctors", drink immunostimulants and not know the real cause of poor health.
- lead to intoxication. During their life, helminths release toxic substances. They accumulate in the body, cause poisoning and serious organ damage.
- cause allergies. A patient can take hundreds of tests for allergens and not realize that getting rid of the worms is enough to solve the problem.
There are about 250 varieties of parasites, and infection with some of them leads to dire 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, a person gets tired quickly.

If helminthic infestation is suspected, a stool test is performed. To clarify the diagnosis, you may need: smear, ultrasound of internal organs, muscle biopsy, blood test, etc.
Treatment for worms with folk remedies at home
If the stool analysis shows the presence of parasite eggs, it is necessary to proceed with the treatment. You can buy the drug at the pharmacy, their selection is large. But the list of disadvantages is no less extensive:
