How infection occurs?

Familiar 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 them. The mechanism of infection by helminths of the body has been thoroughly studied by medicine, therefore, a civilized person needs to know about other sources of a latent threat:

  • pets - the larvae of parasites are found not only in the droppings that fall to the ground, but also 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 involuntarily lays worm eggs on carpets, toys, furniture. The danger lies in the fact that the viability of larvae, for example roundworms without settling in a favorable environment, is up to 6 months. Therefore, the presence of a cat or a dog in the house forces parents and children to take pills for human parasites;
  • vegetables, fruits, herbs, both freshly picked from the garden and presented on the shelves of stores, markets, on the surface of which the soil contaminated with helminths could reach;
  • public and private restrooms: visits to restrooms require good hand washing after performing necessary procedures;
  • Orchards, summer cabins, fields, children's sandboxes are the main source of the spread of intestinal worms (pinworms and roundworms), for whose treatment pharmaceutical products offer pills against parasites such as Pyrantel, Levamisole, Mebendazole and others.
  • fresh meat and fish: contamination occurs due to inadequate or insufficient heat treatment of these products;
  • drinking water from awkward sources;
  • swimming in bodies of water close to the cattle grazing area;
  • flies and other insects that carry parasite larvae on their legs.

Medical practice shows that the peak of helminth invasion occurs in the spring and autumn, therefore, at this time, all home medicine cabinets should have anti-parasite pills in the human body.

parasites can be caused by animals

Knowledge about the nature of the origin and habitat of helminths establishes 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 that was brought to you from the Great Earth.

Remedies for parasites in the human body: tablets and the principle of treatment.

According to the statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO) annually, helminthic infestation affects more than 1. 2 billion people and there are around 4. 3 billion people permanently infected. More often than others, as a form of helminthiasis, there is no kotorosis, 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 "childish" problem has rather "adult" consequences. The disease affects the physical and emotional development of children and the condition of adults. Helminths, which parasitize in the body and disrupt the normal functioning of the body, weaken the immune system, make a person sluggish, reduce his ability to work and reduce his resistance to somatic diseases.

This nasty "neighborhood" causing constant bulletins hurts productivity. It's hard to believe, but the helminthic 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 body of children and adults, so that intestinal helminthiasis does not become a new century epidemic.

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

The beginning 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?

Types of helminths A drug Act Contraindications
Roundworms (pinworms, roundworms) Albendazole, Pyrantel, Mebendazole, Levamisole It has a paralyzing effect on adult worms and completely dissolves their remains. It should not be taken by pregnant women; one day before drinking alcohol; can cause diarrhea; it has a toxic effect on the kidneys and liver.

The decomposition products of helminths cause severe intoxication of the body, so therapy is most often carried out in a hospital under the supervision of a doctor.

The drugs have a high degree of toxicity, therefore complications in the liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract are possible.

During the elimination of helminths and the rehabilitation period, supportive immunotherapy is required.

Traditional pills for parasites 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 drug instructions will definitely indicate in the form of contraindications.

Popular recipes are respectful and safe for the body, including pregnant women and children, 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 seeking to eliminate helminths quickly and safely, special antiparasitic dietary supplements have been developed that combine the performance of drugs and the harmlessness of natural ingredients.

Treatment of parasites in the human body, the tablets of which 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 becomes a reliable protection for organs and body systems against the penetration of worms. Therefore, therapy is at the same time prevention, allowing you 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 of the constituent components, they are pleasant to the taste and easy to use. This makes them a worthy alternative to traditional medicines, allowing you to solve the "inconvenient" problem quickly and easily.
