No one is safe from helminths entering the body. This problem is very subtle, so people, afraid of being cursed, 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 cope with parasites yourself. 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 pill appeared. In this article we will talk about the potential threat 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 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 (when swimming in a pool or river);
- when in contact with pets (with fur, saliva);
- from mother to baby through the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- through the blood.
Once inside the body, the worms move through the organs, filling the space from the heart 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 very important to fight helminths, because they pose a serious threat to the body:
- reduce immunity. Persistent colds, inflammatory processes, infections caused by worms. A person can "run to the doctor", drink immunostimulants and not know about the real cause of poor health.
- lead to intoxication. During their life, helminths release toxic substances. Accumulated in the body, they cause poisoning and serious damage to organs.
- cause allergies. A patient can take hundreds of tests for allergens, and not realize that getting rid of worms is enough to solve the problem.
There are about 250 types of parasites, and infection with some of them leads to frightening consequences:
- intestinal volvulus.
- liver cirrhosis, abscess.
- pneumonia, bronchitis.
- brain damage, paralysis.
