No one is immune to helminths entering the body. This problem is very delicate, which is why people, fearing condemnation, treat 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 deal with parasites on your own. There are hundreds of different options in the arsenal of traditional medicine, because this is an ancient 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 plenty of food for them. Helminths try to enter by all available means:
- through dirty hands, dirty toys;
- with foods of animal origin that have 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 in the body, the worms travel through the organs, filling the space from the liver to the eyes and brain. Although the lifespan 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 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 real cause of health problems.
- lead to intoxication. During life, helminths release toxic substances. Accumulating in the body, they cause poisoning and serious damage to organs.
- cause allergies. A patient may take 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 dire 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: there may be 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. Therefore, it is important to promptly suspect the presence of a helminth infestation and quickly get rid of the worms.
If helminthic infestation is suspected, a fecal examination is performed. To clarify the diagnosis, it may be necessary: smear, ultrasound of internal organs, muscle biopsy, blood test, etc.
Treatment for worms with folk remedies at home
If the analysis of feces shows the presence of parasite eggs, it is necessary to proceed with treatment. You can buy the medicine at the pharmacy, the choice is wide. But the list of disadvantages is no less wide:
- when poisoning worms, the medicine delivers toxins to the body;
- there is a high risk of purchasing a counterfeit medicine;

- 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.

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