The world is designed in such a way that parasites enter the human body and feed on its nutrient reserves.Many people who carefully monitor their health, lead an active lifestyle, try to eat a balanced diet, cannot achieve the desired result;the cause may be helminths, which remove all beneficial substances from the host, leaving only a small part.
This lifestyle of these parasites suits them very well;moreover, their presence can remain unnoticed for a long time.This happens because the symptoms of worm infection are very similar to those of other diseases;an infected person can be treated for other diseases for a long time and not observe positive dynamics.
Symptoms
Oddly enough, parasites do not have a digestive system, but nevertheless they feed exclusively on useful substances present in the host's body.Thanks to beneficial substances, their lifespan increases significantly, but the person's condition noticeably deteriorates.
Symptoms of infection may be absent or resemble symptoms of other illnesses.For example:
- hookworm larva located in the lung has symptoms similar to pneumonia;
- pinworm larvae cause symptoms of appendicitis;
- Opisthorchis larvae can resemble an attack of pancreatitis.
The infection is often accompanied by a cold: sore throat, sinusitis, bronchitis or other similar illnesses.Suspicions may begin with the following changes:

- Anemia develops (most worms feed on blood, leading to iron deficiency);
- Sudden weight gain or loss;
- Change in mental state:depression, panic attacks, strong irritability, sleep disturbances (helminths, when in the human body, release toxins dangerous for the human body).
- Nocturnal teeth grinding;
- A decrease in immunity, frequent viral and infectious diseases are observed;
- Inflammation of the respiratory system;
- Oncology (the prolonged presence of worms contributes to the degeneration of cells into cancer cells).
It should be understood that the symptoms presented do not indicate the presence of parasites, but only a hypothesis of their presence.Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after a comprehensive diagnosis.The full range of possible symptoms is not presented;in addition to the above, disorders in the functioning of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system appear.Violations develop into more serious problems requiring specialized intervention.
