Worm diseases and measures for their prevention

In our country, roundworms are most often found in children - roundworms, pinworms, whipworms; from flat tapeworms - bovine, pork tapeworm, echinococcus larvae. Infection of children with helminths occurs mainly when their mature eggs or larvae are swallowed with food, through contaminated objects, hands. The larvae of some helminths enter the human body through the skin (hookworms) or when bitten by insects (filariae). Infection with worms is most likely in the summer and autumn periods: at this time, they eat more raw vegetables and fruits, etc.

In the USSR, a systematic and constant struggle against helminths is being carried out - mass deworming, primarily of the child population. Deworming is a mandatory combination of therapeutic measures with preventive work, which involves the destruction of worm eggs so that they cannot cause new diseases. Preventive work includes veterinary and sanitary control of meat and internal organs of animals at meat processing plants; the prohibition of the use of products in the presence of viable helminth larvae in them; sanitary control over the cleaning of populated areas, over the correct use of feces as fertilizers and other measures.

In the fight against helminthiases, along with therapeutic measures, great importance is attached to strict observance of sanitary-hygienic and sanitary-anti-epidemic norms and rules in children's and adolescent institutions. The medical staff of institutions should conduct daily monitoring of the sanitary maintenance of all premises, their wet cleaning, if necessary, with detergents and disinfectants. Flies and rodents should be controlled in children's and teenage institutions, especially in kitchens and pantries. Proper storage of food, prepared food and food waste must be ensured.

The use of chemicals in the fight against flies and rodents, etc. is strictly prohibited. The windows of catering units, laundry, toilet and other premises of institutions for children and adolescents in the warm season should be meshed (with a metal or polyethylene mesh). Change of sand in sandboxes should be carried out at least once a month; at night, the boxes must be closed with a lid. The sand is periodically shoveled, slightly moistened before the game; contaminated sand is replaced with fresh. In the warm season, sand should be analyzed monthly for worm eggs.

Of great importance in the fight against helminthiases is the observance of personal hygiene directly by children and adolescents, as well as by service personnel. Strict control is needed to ensure that children and adolescents thoroughly wash their hands with soap and water after visiting the toilet, returning from a walk, before eating, after working on the site, contact with animals, etc.; they cut their fingernails short and did not bite them; did not eat dirty vegetables and fruits, etc.

The technical staff of children's and teenage institutions should be provided with special gowns for cleaning rooms, toilets, and also for distributing food. After cleaning the toilets, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and change your bathrobe. Dressing gowns should be stored in specially designated places; washing (in laundries or at home) they are carried out as they get dirty, but at least once a week.

The preventive and therapeutic measures carried out in our country have made it possible to achieve a sharp decrease in the level of helminthiases and eliminate mortality from ankylostomiasis and ascariasis.

In order to prevent the introduction of infectious and helminthic diseases into institutions for children and adolescents, the personnel of these institutions undergo mandatory medical examinations and examinations both upon admission to work and in the future within the time limits established by the Instruction on preliminary and mandatory medical examinations approved by the Chief State Sanitary Doctor USSR on December 24, 1987, No. 4538-87 and agreed with the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions on June 6, 1988, No. 14-4a (2869).

Sick or employees of children's and adolescent institutions with suspected illness are not allowed or immediately suspended from work.

Infectious diseases and measures for their preventionInfluenza and other acute respiratory diseases. Prevention measures

Before starting treatment, you should understand whether there are worms in the human body or not. There are a fairly large number of signs that indicate their presence. Therefore, if the patient notices any symptom, you should immediately consult a doctor who will confirm or refute the diagnosis.

In addition, patients often become nervous, since the toxic substances that cause worms can negatively affect the nervous system. For many, sleep is disturbed, they feel general fatigue, they are often in an apathetic state, they are overcome by depression, constant weakness, attention and memory are deteriorating.

In addition, you should always follow simple rules of conduct, that is, always wash your hands before eating, fry or boil meat well. Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consuming them. Both on the beach and in the country, you should wear shoes and, after coming home, always wash not only your hands, but also your feet. People who love sushi and salted fish should purchase these products where all the necessary sanitary standards are met.

Therefore, if a woman is expecting a baby, and her tests show that she is all right, then prevention is not needed here - just follow the rules of hygiene. It is necessary to constantly monitor the cleanliness of the body, as well as at home, take processed and healthy food, drink exclusively boiled water and iron, steam not only clothes, but also bedding. But as for folk remedies that do not harm a woman in a position, these are pumpkin seeds. They need to be added to food. It is also recommended to use red pepper, garlic (onion), but this is the case if the stomach reacts normally to these products.

It is necessary to allocate such funds as Vermox and Decaris.

But it must be remembered that these and any other drugs should be prescribed by a doctor, since they have a number of contraindications and only a specialist can know whether a particular person should take any remedy or not.

As already noted, as a folk remedy for the prevention of worms, you can eat pumpkin seeds, and you must also follow all of the above rules. In addition, these seeds are great for children. So, the child should be given 3 tablespoons of seeds (you need to take them on an empty stomach), and after a while he should drink a tablespoon of olive oil. You can prepare the following remedy, for which you will need carrot seeds (100 g) and honey (500 g). This mixture should be given to children twice a day for a teaspoon.

To prepare another remedy, you will need a medium-sized head of garlic, peel it and pour a glass of boiled milk. Let this drink infuse overnight, and in the morning it should be strained. It must be drunk twice a day. If the child is not yet 10 years old, then you need to take the fourth part of the glass. However, not everyone can use this infusion, so let the child try it carefully and slowly.

In addition, both adults and children should follow a special diet for antihelminthic therapy, which should be protein-free, that is, you should try to eat less meat, sugar, and dairy products.

Dirty fruits and vegetables can carry pathogens of helminthiasis. For example, giardiasis is often found in children due to the fact that they pick berries from the bushes and immediately eat them. Each helminthic disease has its own characteristic signs and methods of treatment. Some of them will be discussed below.

Therapy of ascariasis

This section describes the most common helminthic diseases found in our country. The main attention is paid to measures to prevent them, which can be carried out both in urban and rural areas. Tips for the treatment of identified persons with helminthic diseases are aimed at improving the health of those infected, as well as preventing the spread of helminthiasis.

Designed for a wide range of readers.

Every year in our country, helminthic diseases (helminthiasis) are becoming less and less.

This is the result of improving the living conditions of the population, which is largely facilitated by the efforts of medical workers. But helminthiases are now the most widespread diseases. Most often, as a rule, children become infected with worms. This adversely affects their health, retards the mental and physical development of children, reduces their resistance to other diseases.

To achieve a significant reduction in the incidence and outline the elimination of helminthiases, it is necessary to work in two main directions: 1) disease prevention, or protection of a person from infection, and 2) timely treatment of all identified infected persons, which is the task of medical workers.

Prevention of diseases almost entirely depends on health literacy, culture and preventive activities of the population itself. Prevention without much difficulty can be successfully carried out by all residents of cities and rural areas.

In the fight against helminthiases, preventive measures can be carried out very widely and with great efficiency. Conducting them often does not require any material costs and is available to everyone. Anyone who knows how to protect himself from this or that helminthic disease, if desired, will always be able to warn him. This is easier than identifying those who are infected and then treating them for helminthic diseases and the complications they cause. If we take into account that a person who has recovered from helminthiases can be re-infected many times, then the need for the prevention of helminthiasis becomes obvious.

It is known that a healthy person has a higher vitality, better labor productivity. Such a person lives a full, interesting life, which is very useful both for society and for him. Therefore, every ailment is our enemy, and no one should ignore the ailment, any manifestation of the disease, even the most insignificant. With helminthic diseases can not be tolerated even in cases where they do not cause any noticeable harmful manifestations.

Some types of worms, although relatively rare, cause very serious diseases. But we should not forget that in some cases a severe course is observed with widespread helminthic diseases, as will be discussed below.
