No one is safe from helminths entering the body. This problem is very subtle, so people treat worms at home for fear of condemnation. However, it is better to consult an infectious disease specialist and conduct therapy under the guidance 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.

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 enough food for them. Helminths try to get in 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 lake or river);
- in contact with pets (fur, saliva);
- from mother to baby through the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- through the blood.
After entering the body, the worms pass through the organs and fill 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 abundant offspring.

- causes allergies. A patient may undergo hundreds of tests for allergens and not understand that getting rid of worms is enough to solve the problem.
There are about 250 types of parasites, and infection with some of them leads to terrible consequences:
