If you have a parasitic worm infection, then you will show these important signs, take care!!
Living inside our body, feeding off the nutrients we consume and causing health issues for us!! Shocking to know this right!!
We are now talking about parasitic worm infections or helminths like tapeworms, roundworms, pinworms and hookworms infections etc. Point is that these worms would enter our body through contaminated food, water, soil etc.
We would show these signs if we have parasitic worms inside us.
Digestive problems:
Digestive issues like diarrhoea, bloating, constipation and abdominal pain etc could be because of parasitic worms in us.
Sudden weight loss:
If there are any parasitic worms in us, then we might have sudden weight loss despite having more appetite.
Low energy or chronic tiredness:
It must be noted that nutritional deficiencies caused by the presence of parasitic worms in us could lead to low energy levels or chronic tiredness in us.
Anal itching etc:
Intense anal itching could worsen in the night and this is also one important sign of parasitic worms in us.
Nausea:
We could have a tendency to vomit or nausea if we have parasitic worms inside our body. So, please take care.
Rashes, hives etc:
There are possibilities of allergic reactions if there are parasitic worms in us. Here, we could get rashes or hives itching etc.
Anaemia etc:
The essential nutrients are stolen by hookworms and tapeworms etc present in us and this could lead to anaemia issue also.
Teeth grinding:
In kids and in adults etc, parasitic worms present in them could lead to stress responses and they might grind their teeth.
Treatment for parasitic worm infections etc:
If you suspect a wormrm infection, then please consult a doctor. without fail. The type of medication would depend on the worm species. After using the toilet, wash your hands compulsorily. Washing hands before eating plus after handling pets are necessary. To remove any egg that has been shed, it is necessary to wash linen, clothes and towels regularly. It must be noted that certain parasites like tapeworm are transmitted through raw and poorly cooked meat etc.
There are chances of getting dehydration through vomiting and diarrhoea etc due to the presence of parasites in us. Therefore, it is necessary that we must drink lots of water. Foods like garlic, pumpkin seeds etc have natural anti-parasitic properties in them and intake of these foods would kill the parasites in us. Gut health would become better. Restoration of healthy gut flora would be possible by intake of foods like yoghurt, kefir etc.
Our immunity would get strengthened. It is essential that we must consume whole nutrient dense foods and avoid sugary foods etc would starve the parasites and would help us to recover fast. Follow up with a doctor is very important if worms are present in us to make sure that worms are fully eliminated from us. If symptoms are still there, then a stool test must be done for re-infection. Early detection and treatment are necessary so that complications could be prevented in us.
