There are countless species of worms, more than 250 species of parasites can live in the human body alone.
They can be very small or several meters in size. Their habitats in the human body are quite diverse, from the intestines and liver to the heart, brain, joints, blood, and even the eyes.
Many wonder how to get rid of worms? But you won’t have to get rid of them if you don’t get infected with them, if you stick to preventative measures.
To do this, deworming is recommended, the so-called process of removing pests from the human body.
Symptoms of parasite infestation
Sometimes the process of parasite infection can go without symptoms, but this is rare, so consider the signs of parasite infection:
- Due to the fact that uninvited guests poison your body, with their toxic secretions that enter the bloodstream, your skin may become red and itchy.
- Your immune system is weak, you can get sick more often, and chronic diseases can flare up. Again, this is due to the toxic secretions of parasites, because they quietly spread through the blood and thus significantly reduce immunity.
- You may feel sick in the morning, this feeling can be replaced by a strong desire to eat.
- Bowel emptying problems (constipation, diarrhea, bloating).
- Hair is falling out more and more, and nails are breaking more easily.
- Body temperature rises for no reason.
- You get tired quickly, and weakness often manifests itself, both in the body and in the body in general.
- Abdominal and muscle pain.
Medical treatment of parasites
If you, or people close to you, have noticed the above signs, it is necessary to visit a specialist - an infectologist.
He should prescribe an examination that will help in choosing an effective and efficient treatment.
There are a number of parasites that can only be removed surgically. Anthelmintic drugs are used to fight other parasites. They are transcribed based on what type of worm you have.
How are parasites diagnosed?
Only a specialist can accurately diagnose the presence of worms in your body. Determining the presence of uninvited guests in the body can take place in three ways.
The first method is bacterioscopic analysis of feces, this method is the simplest and does not require large financial costs.
But, of course, the efficiency of this method is not very good, it is effective only when the eggs are carried by worms in the anus, and after that a little time has passed.
And if male parasites are common in your body, then they will not be able to determine them this way.
For that reason, experts say that the analysis of feces should be done three times (every other day), and it would be even better to do it on a full moon, because the activity of worms increases during that period. .
The second method is the enzyme immunoassay method (a blood test is done). After analyzing the blood from the veins, you can determine if it contains antibodies to the worms.
When the level of eosinophils is three times higher than normal, the parasite can already be considered present in the body.
With the indicator doubled, we can say that there was a parasite in the body, but the body dealt with it alone.
And the third way is computer diagnostics - this is one of the best ways to detect parasites.
The device can detect more than 20 species of parasites, and this happens with the help of bioresonant vibrations.
Experts believe that diagnosing parasites is a waste of time and money. Immunologists claim that at some point in their lives, a person was or will be a carrier of worms.
For this reason, it is simply better to take preventive measures (ie deworming) once or twice a year.
In particular, prevention should be carried out by people who have pets and small children.

Unwashed hands can most often be blamed for worm infections. That is why it is very important to wash your hands well and always with soap, after going to the toilet, contact with money or after using public transport.
Also, don't forget that products (vegetables or fruits) should be washed, because, in one way or another, they came into contact with the ground or the hands of many people who could have worm eggs.
Dirty water can also be a source of infection. If you go to water where there can be animals in addition to people, there is a possibility that you may inadvertently drink a sip of liquid, which may contain helminth eggs.
