Worms: 10 Forms of Infection and Treatment Options

How to remove parasites from the human body with pills - quickly, harmlessly and effectively? This is an urgent issue not only in the treatment of infantile helminthiasis. The problem of parasite infection is relevant to an adult who needs effective treatment, no less than children.

How does the infection occur?

Known since childhood, the rule of washing hands before eating is not the only warning about the source of dangerous infections. Dirty fingers and palms are the fastest way for worms to enter the body, so special attention is paid to this. The body's helminth infection mechanism has been extensively studied by medicine, so a civilized person needs to know about other sources of a latent threat:

• Pets - Parasite larvae are found not only in the droppings that fall to the ground, but later in the human body through dirty hands. They are located in wool, and when everyone's favorite pet moves freely around the house, sleeps on sofas and beds, like a family member, it unwittingly leaves worm eggs on rugs, toys, furniture. The danger lies in the fact that the viability of larvae, eg roundworms without settling in a favorable environment, is up to 6 months. Therefore, the presence of a cat or dog in the home requires parents and children to take pills for human parasites;
• vegetables, fruits, herbs - both freshly picked from the garden, and presented on the shelves of shops, markets, on whose surface helminth-contaminated soil might lie;
• private and public restrooms - visiting the restrooms requires thorough hand washing after performing the necessary procedures;
• vegetable gardens, summer cottages, fields, sandboxes for children are the main source of propagation of roundworms (pinworms and ascaris), for which drugs are offered against parasites such as Pyrantel, Levamisol, Mebendazol and others.
• fresh meat and fish - contamination occurs due to inadequate or insufficient thermal treatment of these products;
• drinking water from uncomfortable sources;
• swimming in water bodies close to the cattle pasture area;
• flies and other insects that carry parasite larvae on their feet.

Medical practice shows that the peak of helminth invasion occurs in spring and autumn, so by that time every home medicine cabinet should have pills against parasites in the human body.

Knowledge about the nature of the origin and habitat of helminths states that favorable climatic conditions are necessary for the development of parasites. But infection can occur anywhere in the world, even in the eternal cold of Antarctica, if you eat an unwashed apple from the Great Earth.

Medicines for parasites in the human body: pills and the principle of treatment

According to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics annually, helminth infestation affects more than 1. 2 billion people and there are about 4. 3 billion people permanently infected. More often than others, as a form of helminthiasis, there is non-chotorosis, hookworm infection, ascariasis. At the same time, high infection rates are a key factor in the rapid spread of the disease.

At first glance, the "infant" problem has quite "adult" consequences. The disease affects the physical and emotional development of children and the condition of adults. Helminths, parasitizing the body and disrupting the normal functioning of the body, weaken the immune system, make the person lazy, reduce their capacity for work and resistance to somatic diseases.

This unpleasant "neighborhood" that generates constant newsletters affects productivity. It's hard to believe, but helminth invasion ranks fourth in the ranking of diseases that are "guilty" of tangible economic damage.

Therefore, scientific medicine and modern pharmaceuticals had the task of finding effective pills for parasites in the bodies of children and adults, so that intestinal helminthiasis would not become an epidemic of the new century.

The main action principle of the drugs is to influence the parasite in the way of blocking its muscular and digestive systems with suppression of the glucose metabolic function in the worm cells.

The initiation of anthelmintic therapy is preceded by diagnostic measures that will help to establish the type of worm and prescribe competent treatment.

What pills do parasitologists recommend?

Traditional parasite pills or alternative methods: which is better?

When a patient decides to take medications, he must understand that the composition of such medications are unnatural substances obtained by chemical synthesis. Therefore, they cannot be absolutely harmless, which the medication instructions will certainly indicate in the form of contraindications.

Savings and safe for the body, including pregnant women and children, are popular recipes, which include natural products - garlic, onion, pumpkin, tansy, walnuts and others. However, compared to pills for parasites in the human body, they require time-consuming preparation and a longer course of administration.

Taking into account the wishes of patients who seek to remove helminths quickly and safely, special antiparasitic dietary supplements have been developed that combine the results of medicines with the innocuousness of natural ingredients.

The treatment of parasites in the human body, whose pills are presented in the form of a dietary supplement, allows not only to completely cleanse the body of unwanted "guests". The special composition of the product makes it a reliable protection for organs and systems of the body against the penetration of worms. Therefore, therapy is at the same time prevention, allowing to create an unfavorable environment for the entry and development of various types of worms.

Dietary supplements have practically no contraindications, except for individual intolerance to the constituent components, are palatable and easy to use. This makes them a valuable alternative to traditional medicines, allowing you to resolve the "inconvenient" problem quickly and easily.
