No one is immune from the penetration of helminths into the body. This problem is very delicate, so people, fearing condemnation, treat worms at home. However, it is best to consult an infectious disease specialist and undergo therapy under the guidance of a doctor.
But you can deal with parasites yourself. 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 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 foods of animal origin that have not undergone sufficient heat treatment;
- through untreated water (while swimming in a lake or river);
- in contact with pets (with fur, saliva);
- from mother to baby through the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- through the blood.
Once in the body, the worms pass 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 a rich offspring.
How dangerous are parasites?
It is extremely important to fight helminths, as they pose a serious threat to the body:
- decrease in immunity. Constant colds, inflammatory processes, infections are caused by worms. A person can "run to doctors", drink immunostimulants and not know about the real reason for poor health.
- lead to intoxication. During their life, helminths release toxic substances. Accumulating in the body, they cause poisoning and serious organ damage.
- cause allergies. The patient may take hundreds of allergen tests and not realize that removing the worms is enough to solve the problem.
There are about 250 varieties of parasites, and infection with some of them leads to terrible consequences:
- intestinal volvulus.
- liver cirrhosis, abscess.
- pneumonia, bronchitis.
- brain damage, paralysis.
- infertility.
- severe anemia.
- exhaustion, developmental delay in childhood.
