Gelmintiasis is a very common disease that is very easy to infect. Parasite larvae for a long time can live on several surfaces, food, drinks, pet wool, clothing and even land. According to statistics, in 70% of adults they can indicate the presence of worms. It is very difficult to recognize Helmintiasis independently, since its symptoms manifest by general discomfort (nausea, weakness). The prevention of worms appearance is the best way to protect.
How to protect from infection with parasites
The medications for the treatment of the helmi -invasion are prescribed by a doctor. This is due to the fact that parasites are of different species and are able to inhabit not only in the intestines, but also in other organs. In addition, all drugs against worms are very toxic and with un controlled use can cause poisoning. The doctor prescribes a medication based on anamnesis and after performing special studies aimed at identifying the type of parasite.
The prevention of the appearance of worms are measures taken to prevent infection. It is important to comply with the hygiene rules: this is the first and most important barrier, and all actions, despite their simplicity, are very effective. The following measures must be guaranteed:
- Regular hand washing, even after changing clothes, after bathroom and before meals, even if a small snack is placed. It is also important to wash your hands after contact with animals.
- Thermal product processing. It is worth abandoning meat and fish of a low degree of toas, as well as salted fish and caviar of unknown origin, since they can include eggs of worms and other parasites. The dishes of said fish, if possible, must be prepared independently (especially the earth).
- Ironing underwear and bedding.
- Rinse all vegetables and fruits under running water. After that, you must pour them with boiling water.
- Do not use open pond water, as well as raw water.
- Cut the nails briefly, since even with a complete washing, helminth eggs can remain under them.
- Regularly perform the deworming of animals, since they are possible rapid infections with parasites.
- Do not forget to wear gloves both when cleaned and when you work with the ground on a garden plot. It is advisable to process natural fertilizers to avoid soil infection with nematode and worms eggs.
These are the main measures involved in the prevention of the appearance of worms in adults. They can be complemented with several popular remedies. Many recipes are very effective and have a softer effect than tablets, so they are very suitable as an alternative method.
The mechanism of worms tables action
All medications are divided into a broad and narrow action spectrum. The former affect most parasites, while the latter have a directed effect on a type of pests.
Is it to use medications if it is supposed to be carried out, not treatment, but preventive measures? Some doctors believe that they should not use such medications for prevention, since they are not as harmless as other types of pills. Other doctors believe that such therapy should be carried out at least 2 times a year, and the first period falls in spring, immediately after melting snow, and the second at the end of autumn, when frosts begin. At this time, the body is generally weakened, and the infection with parasites will cause additional health damage.
Drugs should be used when the symptoms of the Helmintic invasion occur.
These include nausea, weakness, sleep disorders, itching in anus. The therapy against worms should be carried out for 3-5 days. The unique use may not be enough, since in most cases the helminths manage to put eggs, and after 1, 5-2 weeks it will be necessary to take the pills to get rid of the worms that have appeared.
The effective treatment in adults includes 3 stages and lasts approximately 2 weeks:
- A week is the preparation of the body. Special measures are not required, it is sufficient to maintain a light diet, as well as using medications that help improve the current of bile and stomach work.
- Next, take the preparations for the worms according to the instructions. The course takes different times, but no more than 5 days.
- The last stage is no less important and consists in the elimination of the dead helminths of the body. For this, laxatives and enemas are used. Cleaning is very important, otherwise, the bodies of the parasites will begin to decompose, poisoning the body with toxic substances.
Worm tablets
Antihelmintic medications are represented quite well and in different pricing categories. The principle of action depends on the type of active substance. For example, some of the medications affect the respiratory system of helminths, others cause paralysis in them and others, irreversibly stop metabolic processes. All these actions cause the death of worms and their excretion of the body.
