There are cases when a patient with worms was prescribed treatment for allergies, dermatitis, inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, or other diseases. As a result, parasites multiplied, causing irreparable harm to the health of the baby or adult. In addition, improper treatment led to severe consequences and complications.

Analyzes for parasites should be taken about once every six months. But sometimes it needs to be done immediately. The following signs may indicate the presence of human pests in the body. Sometimes they are very similar to the symptoms of other diseases.

• Diarrhea, constipation, irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, increased gas formation or swelling of the intestine.
• Pain in the joints or muscles. They arise during the migration of microorganisms and can be similar to pain in arthritis.
• A sharp decrease or increase in weight. The activity of parasites dramatically reduces the level of sugar, which provokes an increased appetite and a feeling of severe hunger. Pain in the abdomen and nausea, on the contrary, can reduce the appetite.
• Allergic reactions, deterioration of the skin. Often, infection causes symptoms resembling hives, boils, etc. Therefore, before visiting a dermatologist, you need to pass tests for parasites.
