No one is safe from helminths entering the body. This problem is very delicate, so people, for fear of condemnation, treat worms at home. However, it is better to consult an infectious disease specialist and undergo treatment under the supervision 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, since this is an ancient problem that was solved long before the first pills appeared. In this article we will talk about the potential threat of helminthiasis for 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 humid, so there is enough food for them. Helminths try to enter by all available means:
- through dirty hands, dirty toys;
- with foods of animal origin that have not been subjected to sufficient heat treatment;
- through untreated water (while swimming in a pond or river);
- upon contact with pets (with fur, saliva);
- from mother to baby through the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- Through the blood.
Once in the body, the worms travel through the organs, populating the space that runs 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 vitally important to combat helminths, because they pose a serious threat to the body:
- reduce immunity. Constant colds, inflammatory processes and infections are caused by worms. A person can "run to the doctors", drink immunostimulants and not know the true cause of poor health.
- lead to intoxication. During their life, helminths release toxic substances. When they accumulate in the body, they cause poisoning and serious damage to organs.
- cause allergies. A patient may undergo hundreds of allergen tests 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 has terrifying consequences:
- intestinal volvulus.
- liver cirrhosis, abscess.
- pneumonia, bronchitis.
- brain damage, paralysis.
- sterility.
- 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;
- low hemoglobin level (however, this does not always happen).
- increased anxiety, restless sleep, teeth grinding at night.
- Digestive problems: there may be constipation or diarrhea (depending on the type of helminths).
- frequent allergic reactions.
- pain in muscles and joints.
- dyspnoea.
- headache, migraine.
Complications occur in advanced cases. Therefore, it is important to quickly suspect the presence of a helminth infestation and quickly get rid of the worms.
If a helminth infestation is suspected, a stool test is performed. To clarify the diagnosis, you may need: a smear, ultrasound of internal organs, muscle biopsy, blood test, etc.
Treatment of worms with folk remedies at home.
If a stool analysis shows the presence of parasite eggs, treatment is necessary. You can purchase the medicine at the pharmacy, your choice is wide. But the list of disadvantages is no less extensive:

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