Sometimes amazing things happen on earth. The world is rapidly developing, mastering new technologies. And at the same time, not only nearby, but in the person himself, there are creatures whose history of existence dates back millions of years, and they are not at all afraid of any technologies. Who and what is it? Of course, we are talking about parasites. They make their way inside the human body, feed on its useful substances, while poisoning its carrier with various kinds of toxic elements and secretions. Such poisoning can lead to death even in the absence of timely treatment. But these consequences can be avoided. It is enough to carefully monitor your health, listen to the signals that the body gives, know and be able to identify the main signs of the appearance of parasites and fight them in time.
Before describing the signs of worms, it is worth understanding where they come from. Most often, parasites "climb" into children's organisms, a similar disease is called "dirty hands disease." But often adults are the carriers of parasites. If a person knows the main sources of infection with this disease, the probability of infection will be significantly reduced. Here are the main sources:
- violation of personal hygiene
- the consumption of unwashed foods
- drinking water from open water
- close contact with animals
- travel to exotic countries
There are many other factors and sources that can lead to helminth infections, but the list lists the most basic causes. It is enough to know about them, and the likelihood of a disease will be reduced as much as possible.
Now you can move on to the topic of infection symptoms. The signs of worms in a child and in an adult are almost identical. The very first is a violation of the digestive system. For example, one of the brightest signs is constipation. The presence of large parasites can sometimes prevent the release of feces from the body. But the picture can be exactly the opposite - different small worms, which in large numbers inhabit the intestines, secrete hormone-like elements, which in turn can cause diarrhea. In addition, parasites can become the main cause of the occurrence of such unpleasant things as the accumulation of gases, weight loss. By the way, many experts studying this disease believe that weight loss and an upset intestine for no apparent reason are the main signs of worms. If a person’s nutrition was unchanged, and body weight begins to decrease, then you should not delay and go to the clinic to pass the necessary tests. Often they try to get rid of worms with home remedies, but this should only be a concomitant addition to the main treatment prescribed by the doctor.
Symptoms of the presence of worms in the human body can be similar to allergies. In fact, it can be a real allergy - a person’s reaction to substances released by helminths. Skin rashes, psoriasis, age spots, a runny nose without a cold, and so on may appear. When such things appear, especially if they have not appeared earlier, it is worth contacting a parasitologist.
Signs of worms can appear in humans even in places such as joints and muscles. If there is causeless torsion of joints, muscle aches, and no injuries are observed, you can also sound the alarm. Things like iron deficiency anemia, irritation, insomnia, teeth grinding during sleep, especially in children, chronic fatigue are signs of worms.
It is enough to diagnose their presence and drive them out of the body - the problem will be completely removed. The main thing is not to delay, because no one will take care of his health more than the person himself. Take care of yourself!
