2. Pinworms(spreads from person to person)
3. Whipworms(spreads through food and water)
4. Tapeworms(spreads by eating raw or undercooked meats)
Symptoms of Intestinal worms
Different kinds of worms show different symptoms. Threadworms, for example, induce severe itching in the region of the rectum. Constipation and diarrhea may show up in alternating sessions leading to weight loss, fever, and cough. For hookworms, the patient may experience anemia and other nutrition-related disorders. Roundworms, on the other hand, may bring on weight loss and lung and intestine inflammation. Other effects include irritability, nervousness, fever, nausea, and vomiting.
In general, people infested with intestinal worms experience headache and are anemic. They tend to become restless during sleep and they get dark circles surrounding their eyes. Their breath may also stink. All the food they eat gets wasted because of diarrhea. But, they would still constantly want to eat.
What Causes Worm Infestation
1. Handling food and drinks with unclean hands and dirty fingers is one of the causes why threadworms can enter the body. Roundworms get inside the body through contaminated foods and drinks. Tapeworms, on the other hand, enter the body through raw or half-cooked meats and also through the feces of dogs that may also have tapeworms.
2. When one walks bare foot, it increases the chance for the person to acquire worms. Hookworms, for example, enter the body when one walks bare foot on an infected land.
3. Unhygienic living condition is the most obvious cause of infestation. If one lives uncleanly and does not practice proper hygiene then worms can easily enter his body not only through the food and water he takes in but also through moving about his filthy surroundings. Once the worms are inside the intestines and they find that the intestinal tract is filled with a comfortable survival zone, then they will stay and propagate in the intestinal tract.
