What is a roundworm?

Roundworm is the abbreviation of vermilike roundworms, belonging to the class of nematodes. It is characterized by its shape resembling an earthworm, pink or yellow. Parasitic in the human intestine, adults live on semi-digested food in the intestine.

Ascariasis is usually caused by poor hygiene and unclean diet.

After the human body is infected, various diseases will appear in the human body, and serious complications can occur, such as roundworm intestinal obstruction, urticaria, intestinal puncture, asthma, biliary ascariasis, appendix ascariasis, etc.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands before and after meals;

3. Pay attention to food hygiene, eat less raw food, and fully heat or disinfect and sterilize imported things;

Why are there roundworms in the human body?

Because I eat roundworm eggs.

One is that when the child still doesn't recognize the food, he likes to put everything in his mouth when he holds it. Unclean things and roundworm eggs are all in the mouth.

The other is to grab food with dirty hands. It is common for children to pick up food and eat without washing their hands. Ascaris eggs stick to the hands and cause accidental ingestion.

Another is that the food itself contains roundworms or their eggs, such as unwashed fruits and vegetables, especially some raw meat. If they are not fully heated or cleaned and sterilized, these things will enter the body along with the food.

Therefore, we must cultivate good personal hygiene habits in normal times, and also cultivate children's hygienic behavior habits. Don't grab and eat, wash your hands frequently, and pay attention to food hygiene.

How do I know if there are roundworms? What are the symptoms of roundworms in the body?

How do I know if I have roundworms in my body? It can be judged from the physical symptoms it causes.

There are many manifestations after infection with roundworms, such as fever and cough in the larval stage, and often manifestations in the adult stage, abdominal pain, nausea, urticaria, loss of appetite, skin itching, and malnutrition. However, these manifestations overlap with the symptoms of other common diseases, such as colds and skin allergies, so the judgment is often inaccurate.

It is easier for ordinary people to judge the symptoms of roundworm infection: ①There may be white spots in the nails, which may be roundworm eggs; ②Some people will vomit or excrete the roundworms in the feces; ③If you eat too much, you will be malnourished and your face is sallow; ④Anus Itching (pinworm); ⑤ irritability and teeth grinding when sleeping at night; ⑥ itchy skin. Combining these more special symptoms with other common symptoms, you can roughly determine that it is infected with roundworms.

For other serious diseases that have caused great damage to the body, it is better to ask a doctor for diagnosis and repair in the hospital.
