80 % of all diseases of parasites, modern scientists suggest. Doctors do not rule out the fact that they can be the cause of cancer. According to statistics, helminth invasion is observed in 90 % of the Earth's population, which means that almost all in the risk zone.
In children, the risk of infection is much higher as the child's immunity is greater than an adult. In addition, without control from parents, children often simply ignore the elementary rules of hygiene: they do not neglect to eat unimportant vegetables, fruits or fruits of beds or wood, lazy to wash their hands, to play with street animals and to swallow the water from the closest to the broad pattern is a common thing. Often from vacation, children return thin, pale, lethargic, with complaints of nausea, abdominal pain, skin and itching.
Despite the fact that most adults are more careful to personal hygiene, an adult can become infected. The main risk factors: snacks in public catering areas, where even if sanitary standards are observed, there are dishes that require the necessary thermal treatment, the child's disease has not passed. Symptoms in adults: weight loss, mood change, paleness and obsessive nausea, hypochondrium pain, itching. However, there are parasites, the presence in the body of which it is impossible to guess without a special test.
When to check?
It is recommended that you check for helminths twice a year - in spring and autumn. The severity of the effects of helminthiasis varies depending on the endurance of the body and, of course, the type of parasite. So, without proper treatment, the disease can lead to mild anemia or can lead to an obstacle to the bowel that are in improving life. Among other effects of an unpleasant disease: perforation and inflammation of the gallbladder, pancreatitis and toxic allergic reactions to the skin.
Methods of treatment
It should be remembered that parasites can infect several family members at the same time (and pets too). In no case should you be treated independently and take antimalastic drugs for preventive purposes. There are no universal anthelmintic drugs and various helminths are treated with various medicines that the specialist should prescribe, guided by the test results. The usual worm egg tests are not enough as they can find far from all types of helminths. Sometimes you need antibody tests to parasites, on the results of which will depend additional treatment. Pet health care should be entrusted to a qualified veterinarian accordingly.
After therapy, doctors usually prescribe an enterosorbent whose purpose is to remove from the body, which poisons the body to the vital activity of the body of the body. For example, the modern enterosorbent "Enterosgel", which absorbs toxins secreted by helminths, and eliminates them naturally, cleanses the body and restores normal intestinal microflora.
Prevention
However, if possible, it is better to prevent the disease than to cure. When preventing helminth invasion in children and adults, personal hygiene is first and foremost - washing hands before meals, after walking and contact with animals. It is important to rinse thoroughly vegetables, fruits and berries. Even marking "does not require washing" of the pack of fresh salad, does not guarantee safety. To protect yourself, it is worth abandoning dishes that are consumed in raw form: land, mussels or steaks with blood can seriously harm the elderly organism, not to mention the child. Also try dinner at reliable institutions and order dishes that have undergone heat treatment.
