No one is safe from the entry 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 supervision of a doctor.
But you can deal with parasites yourself. 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 moist, so there is enough 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 (when swimming in a pond or river);
- in contact with pets (with fur, saliva);
- from mother to baby through the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- through the blood.
Once inside the body, the worms travel 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 vital to fight against 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 organ damage.
- cause allergies. A patient can take hundreds of tests for allergens and not realize that removing the worms is enough to solve the problem.
There are about 250 types 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, the 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 helminth).
- frequent allergic reactions.
- muscle and joint pain.
- dyspnoea.

Complications occur in advanced cases. Therefore, it is important to immediately suspect the presence of helminthic infestation and get rid of the worms quickly.
If there is a suspicion of helminthic infestation, a stool test is performed. To clarify the diagnosis, you may need: smear, ultrasound of internal organs, muscle biopsy, blood analysis, etc.
Treatment of worms with folk remedies at home
If the stool analysis shows the presence of parasite eggs, it is necessary to start treatment. You can buy the medicine at a pharmacy, they have a wide selection. But the list of disadvantages is no less extensive:
- by poisoning the worms, the drug supplies the body with toxins;
- there is a high risk of buying a counterfeit medicine;
- a large number of side effects;
- aggressive effect on stomach microflora.
Knowing this, many people prefer to treat helminths themselves, using drugs that have been proven for generations.
Advantages of traditional medicine:
- gentle to men, but harsh to worms;

Among them: beef tapeworm, lamblia, filaria, etc. This type of invasion should be treated only under the supervision of a parasitologist and infectious disease specialist.
