No one is safe from helminths entering the body. This problem is very delicate, so people, fearing condemnation, treat for 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 also cope with parasites on your own. 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, 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 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 (while swimming in a pond or river);
- upon contact with pets (with fur, saliva);
- from mother to baby through the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- through 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 rich offspring.
How dangerous are parasites?
It is vitally important to fight helminths, because they pose a serious threat to the body:
- reduce immunity. Constant colds, inflammatory processes, infections are caused by worms. A person can "run to doctors", drink immunostimulants and not know about the real cause of poor health.
- lead to intoxication. During their life, helminths release toxic substances. Accumulating 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 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: there may be either constipation or diarrhea (depending on the type of helminths).
- frequent allergic reactions.
- aches in muscles and joints.
- dyspnea.
- headache, migraine.
Complications occur in advanced cases. Therefore, it is important to promptly suspect the presence of a helminthic infestation and quickly get rid of the worms.
If there is a suspicion of helminthic infestation, a stool test is performed. To clarify the diagnosis, you may need: a smear, ultrasound of internal organs, muscle biopsy, blood test, etc.
Treatment for worms with folk remedies at home
If a stool analysis shows the presence of parasite eggs, it is necessary to proceed to treatment. You can purchase the medicine at the pharmacy, their choice is wide. But the list of disadvantages is no less wide:
- by poisoning worms, the medicine supplies the body with toxins;
- there is a high risk of buying a counterfeit drug;
- 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 that have been proven for generations.
Benefits of traditional medicine:
- gentle on humans, but harsh on worms;

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