Gelminthiasis is a very common disease that is easily infected. Parasite larvae for a long time can live on a variety of surfaces, food, drinks, pet wool, clothes and even soil. According to statistics, in 70% of adults, you can indicate the presence of worms. It is difficult to identify worms independently because its symptoms are manifested by general discomfort (nausea, weakness). Preventing the appearance of worms is the best way to protect yourself.
How to protect yourself from parasite infections
Doctors prescribe drugs for treating worm invasion. This is due to the fact that parasites have different species and are able to inhabit not only in the intestine, but also in other organs. Moreover, all drugs targeting worms are very toxic and uncontrolled use can lead to poisoning. Doctors prescribed a tumor-based drug and conducted special studies aimed at identifying parasite types.
Preventing the appearance of worms is a measure taken to prevent infection. It is important to follow hygiene rules - this is the first and most important obstacle, and although they are simple, all actions are very effective. The following measures should be ensured:
- Wash hands regularly, including after changing clothes, after the toilet and before meals, even if you plan snacks. It is also important to wash your hands after contact with animals.
- Heat treatment of the product. It is worth giving up low-baked meat and fish, as well as salty fish and caviar from unknown sources, as they may include eggs from worms and other parasites. If possible, such fish should be prepared independently (especially land).
- Ironing of underwear and bedding.
- Rinse all vegetables and fruits under running water. After that, you need to pour them in with boiling water.
- Do not use water from open ponds or raw water.
- Cut the nails briefly because even if washed thoroughly, the worm eggs can remain underneath.
- Deworming animals regularly, as they may be infected quickly with parasites.
- Don't forget to use gloves when cleaning and when using the ground on the garden plot. It is recommended to deal with natural fertilizers to avoid infecting the soil with nematodes and worm eggs.
These are the main measures involved in preventing the appearance of adult worms. They can supplement various civil remedies. Many recipes are very effective and have milder effects than tablets, so they are perfect as another method.
Mechanism of action of tablets from worms
All drugs are divided into broad and narrow ranges of action. The former affects most parasites, while the latter has a directional effect on a pest.
If treatment should be not treated but preventive measures, should drugs be used? Some doctors believe that you should not use such drugs for prevention because they are not as harmless as other types of pills. Other doctors believe that this therapy should be performed at least twice a year, with the first phase falling into spring immediately after melting snowfall, and the second phase ending in autumn, with the second phase beginning with frost. Currently, the body is usually weakened and parasitic infections will cause additional health damage.
When symptoms of worm invasion occur, medication should be used.
These include nausea, weakness, sleep disorders, anal itching. Treatment for worms should be performed for 3-5 days. Single use may not be enough because in most cases, worms manage to produce eggs and after 1. 5-2 weeks it is necessary to retake the pills to get rid of the worms that appear.
Effective treatment in adults consists of 3 stages, lasting about 2 weeks:
- A week is physical preparation. No special measures are required to maintain a light diet and use medications that help improve bile and stomach work.
- Next, prepare for the worm according to the instructions. The course takes different times, but not more than 5 days.
- The final stage is equally important, which involves removing dead worms from the body. To do this, laxatives and enemas are used. Cleansing is very important, otherwise the parasite's body will begin to decompose and poison the body with toxic substances.
Tablets from Worms
The deworming agents are very good and the prices vary. The principle of action depends on the type of active substance. For example, some drugs affect the worm's respiratory system, where others promote paralysis, while others irreversibly stop the metabolic process. All these actions lead to the death of the worm and its excretion from the body.
