In modern society, the worms have still widespread. Often the invasion of the infestation occurs in children, the hunters, the fishermen and their families, but also in rural areas.
The worms is a large group of parasitic worms that live at the expense of plants and animals, feeding and breeding within the body of the donor. The man is no exception. Only in our country, there are more than 70 types of parasites. According to statistics, every third inhabitant of the Earth the train worms-parasites. It is assumed that there is an adult, for whom life would not be settled in the body nor a worm.
To how accurately the parents have not followed the cleaning of the hands of their children, to protect them from the worms ossiuri) is virtually impossible. The children study the external world, nature awakens of particular interest. They want to touch everything with your hands, try the taste. People who eat fish, meat of wild animals and birds, milk, home-made, they run the risk of being infected with trichinosis, and diphyllobothriasis.
Modern medical the data show that many diseases occur because of infestations by helminths. For example, it is clinically proven to communication of oncology with a long-standing parasitic infections. Signs of the presence of worms in humans often are mistakenly treated doctors and patients. Begin to treat non-existent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients can very time to walk to the doctors, complaining of malaise. Spend time, money, and even more strong they undermine the health, intake of medicines unnecessary. In the final analysis, the recovery will be done only if the cause of the symptoms. After appropriate treatment, all the symptoms associated with cease to disturb the patients.
How is it possible to be infected by worms?
To protect yourself, you need to know about the 4 modes of spread and infection of eggs of worms:
- Through the soil and the water – geohelminthiasis. Grow in sand, soil, and water, then enter in the human body, and there begin to lay their eggs. Next, the worm eggs fall together with excrement in the external environment and waiting in the wings to infect the new man. Eating poorly washed fruits and vegetables, dirty hands, dust on the food can lead to infection person geohelminthiasis. Some of the eggs of the parasites enter the human body through the skin of the foot and ankle
- Through the direct contact. The worms in domestic animals and man are transmitted through the contact of the hands, games, activities.
- Through the consumption of contaminated food of animal origin – Bioelements. The consumption of raw and poorly treated meat (kebabs, fat, meat, preserves, wild game in the house), and fish (sushi, dried fish, fish preserves) is potentially dangerous. There is the possibility of contracting intestinal infections, and Bioelements.
- For bites of insects. This type of infection is quite rare. Here are intestinal miases, kantarias and scoleciasis. Do not confuse the eggs of parasites and insect larvae, which settle beneath the skin of the animal and the skin of the people.
The main mechanisms of the distribution of the worms
- The soil, sand and other types of soil more fertile habitats of eggs of worms. Fruiting plants continuously in contact with the earth. Herbs, fruits and vegetables during the mounting of the harvest, that you will touch with the hands of the workers, with dusty shelves of storage, load public transport. In such circumstances, contamination of the products of the eggs of the pest has a high probability. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the products of plant origin under the running water and then washed with boiling water. Particular attention should be in the countryside, where the animals walk to the backyard, and then they go home. It is not difficult to imagine which of the waters can cause in the house a cat or a dog after a night walk. Flies and cockroaches are also carriers of eggs of helminths. Sitting on the food, the insects may infect your food. Any contact with soil and sand can cause the input in the body of parasites. Therefore, it is necessary to wash your hands thoroughly, especially under the nails. In particular with regard to children.
- From person to person. This mechanism of infection has high efficiency. For example, ossiuri make the clutch of eggs during the night in the area around the anus. The child is able to sleep the card the place where returned to the eggs, as well as there begins to itch. Thousands of eggs fall on the clothes, on the bed, and in the morning to the door handles, and all that in the morning tap a little restless, even before the washing of the hands and the face. Consequently, the entire family is at risk of infection.
- Through the contact with the water. The open waters contain a large number of species of worms. Swimming and accidental ingestion of water – a serious threat infection
Children are much more adults susceptible to infestations by helminths. This is due to the fact that the body of a child is not properly protected (defence mechanisms only form), and the child actively in contact with the external environment. Parents should be incredible efforts to do so to get used to the elementary rules of personal hygiene. Child up to 6 years of age is under the high risk of infection. According to statistics, about 95% of children up to 4-5 years of age that are infected from the worms. Therefore, it is necessary to pay particular attention to prevention.
Most of the species of worms, they are inside the body, and there lay their eggs, and after a certain period of time they die. For example, ossiuri live 6-8 weeks, roundworms – up to 1 year. The number of parasites in the body only increases with the stroke of the new eggs from the outside. The treatment makes it much faster to get rid of worms and stop the clutch of eggs in the intestine. Children with infestation of worms invasion induced heal without drugs almost impossible. New eggs will be constantly falling into the oral cavity, which fills the ranks of the adult individuals in the body of children.
What are the grounds for recognizing the invasion?
Signs of the appearance of worms man are obvious and hidden. The evident can be attributed to "unfounded," the reduction of weight, pale appearance anemia of the skin), chronic fatigue, night itching in the anal passage. These events are well known and are indicative of infection.
Not rare cases of infestation by helminths, in which the acute disease of the internal organs, occur, disease, previously not manifested. This is considered to be secret signs. The man is accepted for the treatment of many diseases, and the reason is left without attention. If this therapy does not bring results. Examples of such cases:
- Infectious diseases as a result of reduced immunity.
Parasites, while in the human body, consume a variety of nutrients, they emit toxic substances. Such circumstances greatly reduces the immunity of the patient. Can start the aggravation of chronic diseases, various inflammatory processes in the nasopharynx. The treatment of sinusitis or stomatitis in the standard manner made no sense. It is important to eliminate the cause. Girls and women can often start the inflammatory processes of the adnexa uterine, vulvovaginitises, vaginosis of various origin.Bibliography say: if a person is snoring or grinding teeth during sleep – so it must be treated against parasites. But it is confirmed the medical science information.
- General malaise as a result of intoxication of the organism. Of a serious invasion of infestation of the patient, the more harmful substances show parasites. This disastrous impact on the health and the nervous system in adults and children. An example of this is the headache, dizziness, pain in the joints. Overcoming the nausea, the man takes painkillers, but the pain returned after a short period of time: the cause of the malaise is unheeded. In children nervous system disorders are accompanied by irritability, apathy, aggression. If your child is sick for sleep, talking in sleep, you see nightmares, slipped to school, then, is the time to make the prevention of helminthiasis.
- Allergic reactions, diseases of the skin. The waste products of the worms are perceived as a trigger of allergens. Skin reactions (rash, itching, skin rashes, desquamation of the skin) - this is the minimum of the symptoms that may occur at the beginning of allergy. The odds are common reactions body: exacerbation of asthma, rhinitis, cough. Sometimes invasion of the infestation accompanied the fragility and the fall of the hair, the heels, chapped, glossy nails.
- Gastro-INTESTINAL disturbances. According to the massive infection, the symptoms can vary from mild to severe forms of the disorders. Mild nausea and diarrhea up chronic flatulence, constipation, vomiting, pain in the navel area and right upper quadrant. The worms in the tissues does not affect on the stomach as strong, as intestinal parasites.
In which bodies can live for parasites?
Parasitic diseases parasites are divided into two categories, which correspond to the place of activity in the body of the donor.
- Cavitali – worms that live in different parts of the GASTROINTESTINAL tract. There are about 100 species of intestinal parasites, and for each department of the intestine there is a couple of dozens of species. The small intestine is ready to take ascaris, ancylostoma, large tapeworms, and other less common "brothers and sisters". The small intestine "share living space" with bonsai tapeworm and others. In the medical literature are the cases, when a person is infected simultaneously with several types of parasites.
- Fabric – worms, localized in organs, tissues and even in blood. Modern medicine can you reconcile the good with paragonimiasis (light), cysticercosis (brain), echinococcosis (liver), and filariasis (lymphatic vessels). Some of the larvae of the worms move through the body via the blood stream and randomly attach themselves to any organ of the body. If infiltrated lot of eggs, can be infected throughout the body.
How to pass the test for the presence of worms in the body?

Therefore, the intake of drugs must exercise to be sure, when all the tests, and the identification of parasites past. Some medications, acting on the eggs of the worms, have no effect on adults. And vice-versa. Then, if self-treatment is necessary to carefully read the instructions of the medication.
Usually when pest infestations prescribe a time 2-3 repetition of the course. It is associated with high probability of reinfection.
