The world is designed in such a way that parasites penetrate 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 take all the beneficial substances from the host, leaving a small part.
This lifestyle of these pests is very convenient for them;Furthermore, its presence can go unnoticed for a long time.This happens because the symptoms of worm infection are very similar to the symptoms of other diseases;an infected person can be treated for other diseases for a long time and not observe positive dynamics.
