No one is safe from helminths entering the body. This problem is very delicate, which is why people treat worms at home for fear of condemnation. However, it is best to consult an infectious disease specialist and undergo therapy under the guidance of a doctor.
But you can also fight parasites on your own. In the arsenal of traditional medicine there are hundreds of different options, since this is an ancient problem that was solved long before the first pills appeared. In this article we will talk about the potential danger of helminthiasis to humans and how to get rid of worms.
How do worms get into 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 get in using 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 blood.
Once in the body, the worms migrate through the organs and colonize 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?
Fighting helminths is crucial because they pose a serious danger to the body:
- reduce immunity. Constant colds, inflammatory processes and infections are caused by worms. A person can "run to doctors, " drink immunostimulants and not know anything about the true cause of their poor health.
- lead to poisoning. During their lifetime, helminths release toxic substances. They accumulate in the body and cause poisoning and serious organ damage.
- trigger allergies. A patient may perform hundreds of tests for allergens and not realize that removing worms is enough to solve the problem.
There are about 250 species of parasites, and infection with some of them has terrible consequences:
- Intestinal volvulus.
- Liver cirrhosis, abscess.
- Pneumonia, bronchitis.
- Brain damage, paralysis.
- Infertility.
- severe anemia.
- Fatigue, 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 is not always the case).
- increased anxiety, restless sleep, teeth grinding at night.
- Digestive problems: Constipation or diarrhea may occur (depending on the type of helminth).
- frequent allergic reactions.
- Pain in muscles and joints.
- Dyspnea.
- Headache migraine.
In advanced cases, complications occur. It is therefore important to recognize the presence of a helminth infestation in good time and to eliminate the worms quickly.
If helminth infestation is suspected, a stool examination 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 must be continued. You can buy the drug at the pharmacy, the choice is large. But the list of disadvantages is no less extensive:
- By poisoning worms, the drug supplies the body with toxins.
- there is a high risk of purchasing 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 themselves, using remedies that have proven themselves for generations.

Getting rid of worms at home takes place in three steps:

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