That is why the prevention of parasitic diseases for health is essential. The most frequent outbreaks of parasitic diseases are noted in temperate and tropical climates.

What determines such a high frequency of the disease in different territories?

Scientists have identified several factors that provide a picture of parasitic diseases: climatic, sanitary-epidemic, socio-economic conditions. Due to the fact that there are frequent intercontinental cases of moving, the appearance of parasitic diseases has become more frequent in places where there was not a single case before.

And in the spring, when everything around wakes up and comes to life, the opportunity to pick up such a “charm” greatly increases, because absolutely anywhere you can find a helminth larva or something like that.

Where do parasites live?

Parasites live on almost all objects around us. In fact, such parasites can exist in the human body for a long time, and in the best case, a person will never know about such a presence. But if a person's immunity decreases due to some past illness, nervous stress, the parasites will certainly begin to actively manifest themselves. Manifestations can be of a different nature, up to the occurrence of itching, fever, feeling unwell and digestive problems.

How not to get infected?

Prevention of parasitic diseases is a reliable remedy for such problems. The most common ways for parasites to enter the body is the ingestion of fresh unwashed and unprocessed vegetables and fruits, undercooked or undercooked meat. Beloved pets can, unwittingly, supply us with the eggs of several types of microorganisms that constantly live in their intestines.
