Worm diseases are widespread and affect humans, animals and plants. It is now known that about 250 species of these parasites inhabit the human body. The most common human lesions are pinworms, roundworms, and tapeworms.
Treatment and elimination of worms is often done medically, using various anti-worm drugs for humans. However, in some cases, for example, when worms are found during pregnancy, the use of chemicals is prohibited. In such cases, you can use alternative folk recipes for worms that are gentle on the body.
