No one is safe from the penetration of helminths into the body. This problem is very delicate, which is why people, fearing condemnation, treat themselves against 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 fight parasites on your own. 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 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 humid, so there is enough food for them. Helminths try to get inside by all available means:
- by unwashed hands, dirty toys;
- with foods of animal origin that have not undergone sufficient heat treatment;
- through untreated water (by swimming in a pond or river);
- in contact with domestic animals (with fur, saliva);
- from mother to baby via the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- by blood.
Once in the body, 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 rich offspring.
How dangerous are parasites?
It is of vital importance to combat helminths, as 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 doctor", drink immunostimulants and not know the true cause of poor health.
- lead to drunkenness. During their life, helminths release toxic substances. Accumulating in the body, they cause poisoning and serious damage to organs.
- cause allergies. A patient may go through 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 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, grinding teeth at night.
- Digestive problems: There may be either constipation or diarrhea (depending on the type of helminths).
- frequent allergic reactions.
- pain in muscles and joints.
- dyspnea.
- headache, migraine.
Complications occur in advanced cases. It is therefore important to quickly suspect the presence of a helminthic infestation and to get rid of the worms quickly.
If a helminthic infestation is suspected, a stool test is carried out. 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 buy the medicine in pharmacies, the choice is wide. But the list of disadvantages is no less broad:
- by poisoning the worms, the medicine supplies the body with toxins;
- there is a high risk of purchasing a counterfeit medicine;
- a large number of side effects;

Knowing this, many people prefer to treat helminths themselves, using remedies proven for generations.
