No one is safe from helminths entering the body. This problem is very delicate, so people, fearing condemnation, 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 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 potential threat of helminthiasis to humans and 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 plenty of food for them. Helminths try to get in 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 pond or river);
- to contact with pets (with fur, saliva);
- from mother to baby across the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- through the blood.
Once in the body, the worms travel 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 a rich offspring.
How dangerous are parasites?
It is vitally important to fight helminths, because they represent a serious threat to the organism:
- reduce immunity. Constant colds, inflammatory processes, 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. Accumulating in the body, they cause poisoning and serious organ damage.
- cause allergies. A patient can undergo hundreds of allergen tests and not realize that eliminating the worms is enough to solve the problem.
There are about 250 varieties of parasites, and infection with some of them leads to terrifying 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;
- low hemoglobin level (however 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 helminths).
- frequent allergic reactions.
- muscle and joint pain.
- dyspnea.
- headache, migraine.
Complications occur in advanced cases. It is therefore important to promptly suspect the presence of a helminth infestation and eliminate the worms quickly.
If there is suspicion of a helminth infestation, a stool test is performed. To clarify the diagnosis, you may need: a smear, an ultrasound of the internal organs, a muscle biopsy, a 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 treatment. You can buy the medicine at the pharmacy, their choice is wide. But the list of disadvantages is no less extensive:
- by poisoning worms, the medicine supplies the body with toxins;
- the risk of purchasing a counterfeit drug is high;
- a large number of side effects;
- aggressive effect on the microflora of the stomach.
Knowing this, many people prefer to treat helminths on their own, using remedies proven for generations.
Advantages of traditional medicine:
- kind to humans, but harsh to worms;
- relative safety;

Among these: bovine tapeworm, lamblia, filaria, etc. This type of invasion should be treated only under the supervision of parasitologists and infectious disease specialists.
