Worm Disease

Worms is a typical disease in the tropics and sub-tropical, and usually increases when the rainy season.

• At that moment, the river and the toilet overflowed, and the worm larvae spread to various corners which might come into contact and into the human body. The worm larvae inside takes 1-3 weeks to the body develop. Common worm "attack" the human body is hookworm, roundworms, and pin worms.
• In areas where environmental sanitation is poor, such as Indonesia, nearly 90 percent of the children at risk of exposed to worms.
  
  

In Indonesia should no longer use Septic tank for defecation purposes. "Especially in Jakarta, because the area is very crowded, feces should be disposed of to the shelter, such as in Singapore."

• When the worms in a child defecating on the floor, then the eggs or spores could stand for days, even if already in-mop. "Before we can house, the larvae will not get out (hatched). Once inside the gut, he'll just come out."
• In addition through food contaminated by the larvae of the worm, the worm also enter the human body through the skin (pores).
• From the ground, through children bare feet that step onto larvae or eggs, worm larvae can also enter through the pores, which are usually marked by the appearance eruption itch. After breaking the skin, it went into the venous blood vessels, then to the lungs. Well, in these lungs appeared Loffler's syndrome. children became cough as tuberculosis, phlegm like asthma. These include worm's cycle.

After that, the worm intestine wall bite quickly lay eggs in the intestines. In the intestine the food is broken down into nutrients (elementary nutrients can be absorbed by the intestine). This is the ones that " hijacked "by the worm. So, the worm is domiciled in the, because they could not digest their own food. He should eat the already half-digested. In addition to the normal cycle, the worm can also spread to other places, such as the liver or other body parts. Worm medication is a worm therapy indeed. But remember, it was not for prevention. Remain healthy life is the right way to prevent it. Which must be emphasized is information about healthy lifestyles to the public, and this must be repeated over and over again, in order to stick the minds of every person to live a healthy life. It is more important than giving away helminthic and do nothing after. Helminthic is decent to overcome worm disease if someone already infected with worms positively. However, it is not appropriate to prevent worms. Worms disease is a disease caused by infection of soil transmitted helmithes in the human body. There are four types of worms that can infect humans, namely:

• Roundworms (Acaris lumbricoides)
• Whip worm (Trichuris trichiura)
• Hookworm (hookworm, necator americanus, Ankylostoma)
• Pin worms

The Importance of Sanitation

Data from the Ministry of Health of Indonesia in 1997 showed the prevalence of primary school children of 60-80 percent, and in adults of 40-60 percent. Why worms problem in Indonesia is still high? This is because many reasons, including:

• eradication of intestinal worms did not take place continuously.
• conducted individual.
• still a lot of misunderstanding in eradicating worms.

Why People Suffer Parasitic Worms?

• Consuming food / drink contaminated (infected) by the worm eggs.
• not washing hands with soap before eating.
• Thumb sucking or putting fingers into mouth.
• not wearing footwear during activities in places contaminated by the dirty worm eggs.

During the patterns of everyday life do not change, then people will always be vulnerable to worms.

Use of Helminthic

Helminthic on the market is sufficient to overcome the worms disease. But that needs to be clarified that helminthic do not exterminate worms, but only to kill or make a worm weak, so that when a person defecating, the worms are carried out. Imagine if the drug destroys the worm, damage the large intestine also occurred. If the type of worms that hatch in the stomach is known, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate worm. The dose would be adjusted to patient weight. And more importantly, the patient's body will be immune to attack these types of worms. Laboratory examination suggested te be once per six months. But in laboratory medicine must also be balanced to keep personal hygiene and the environment. If not, the worm will keep coming back.

Health care would be a good start against this disease, not just a disease that is considered 'big' and deadly, but reduce the quality of life, parasitic worms moderate to severe degrees can cause anemia, if it occurs in children, will cause further growth become disrupted. Medical examinations (check-up) recommends that carried out regularly. In addition to blood tests, urinalysis, stool examination was also should be done in the laboratory. This is better. Then if positively invected, take the medicine.
