Worms are quite literally parasites that form and live within the gastrointestinal tract of the body. There are many different types of worms that can sustain life within the human body, but the most common are referred to as roundworms. This category of worms includes ascarids, hookworms, pinworms, threadworms and tapeworms. Roundworms are quite contagious and are shaped in the same way as an earth worm but smaller; they can easily be spotted by the human eye through physical examinations of many different kinds. In the USA today, pinworm infestation within children is by far the most prominent of all worm cases.

There are a lot of factors that determine just how serious your worm infestation is and what symptoms you may experience. Some people may experience no symptoms at all to notify them of this condition and in other cases, these worms may exit the body through the stools if there is a great infestation. Pinworms can cause constant and extreme anal itching, insomnia and restlessness. Hookworms on the other hand can cause itchy feet, fever, rash and loss of appetite. Threadworms can create symptoms that include coughing, abdominal pain, gas or diarrhea. Small tapeworms have the ability to cause weight loss, loss of appetite, vomiting and abdominal pain. Lastly, large tapeworms cause similar symptoms to small tapeworms, but without the weight loss factor.

Worm infestations can be anywhere from mild to severe to life threatening, especially in children today. This type of infestation can cause your body not to absorb the proper nutrients it needs and even experience internal bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract. Malabsorption that is created by a worm infestation can make you susceptible to many different conditions and diseases because of how weak your immune system becomes. It can be hard for many people to believe just how common worm and parasite infestations are within the body, but often times they are the root problem that creates colon disorders and other serious conditions.

There are many different ways to naturally prevent this type of infestation in your health as well as your children’s health. Please note that the dosages recommended below are intended for adults.

As you can see there is more than one way to make sure you are healthy from the inside out.
