When health permits, do not refuse raw vegetables: pumpkin, onions, radishes and garlic, nuts and carrots. It's time to buy pumpkin seeds, especially unroasted, unpeeled ones.

It is important not to self-medicate; changes to the menu - vegetable juices and consumption of herbs - should be agreed with your doctor.
Worm prevention
In order not to get worms, you should not violate preventive measures:
- Subject meat and fish to thorough heat treatment to kill parasites.
- Do not eat in questionable public catering establishments where hygienic requirements regarding food preparation conditions are not met.
- It is undesirable to eat sushi: raw fish is used in cooking.
- Give up fast food. Sellers at mobile sales outlets sometimes violate health standards. Flies, carrying helminth eggs, easily gain access to goods on the counter.
- Swimming in open reservoirs, near which large horned animals graze. In addition, swimming in a widely accessible pool is also risky: certificates from parasitologists are not required.
- Boil the water before use.
- Wash fruits and vegetables regularly. Unwashed berries and herbs from a summer cottage are dangerous: strawberries, raspberries, parsley, dill.
- Remember to wash your hands after using the toilet and before eating.
- Contact with pets facilitates the transmission of helminths to their owners. It is extremely important to keep animals clean and constantly carry out pest protection. After interacting with your pets, it's a good idea to wash your hands.
