Gelminthiasis is a very common disease that is very easily infected. Parasitic larvae for a long time can live on various surfaces, in food, drinks, on animal fur, clothing and even soil. According to statistics, in 70% of adults, you can express the presence of worms. It is very difficult to recognize helminthiasis freely, as the symptoms are characterized by general weakness (nausea, weakness). Preventing the appearance of worms is the best way to protect yourself.
How to protect yourself from infection with parasites
Drugs for the treatment of helminthic aggression are prescribed by a doctor. This is due to the fact that parasites are different species and can inhabit not only in the intestines, but also other organs. Also, all drugs against worms are very toxic and with uncontrolled use can cause poisoning. Doctors prescribe drugs based on anamnesis and after conducting a special study aimed at identifying the type of parasite.
Prevention of the appearance of worms is a step taken to prevent infection. It is important to adhere to hygiene rules - these are the first and most important obstacles, and all actions, despite their simplicity, are very effective. The following steps should be determined:
- Regular hand wash, including after exchanging clothing, after toilet and before eating, even small snacks are planned. It is also important to wash your hands after contact with animals.
- Product heat processing. It is worth leaving low meat and fish, as well as unknown salted fish and caviar, as they may include worm eggs and other parasites. Such fish dishes, if possible, should be prepared independently (especially soil).
- Ironing pants and beds.
- Rinse all vegetables and fruits under running water. After that, you need to pour it with boiling water.
- Do not use water from open pool, as well as raw water.
- Cut the nails briefly, because even with thorough washing, helminth eggs can remain underneath.
