In every few weeks, nursery and school parents tell parents about another case of threadworm. It is not surprising that these insects keep raising their heads, given how easily they are.

Threadworm infection is a common minor disease, especially in children. Insects that causes this – Antarobius Vermicularis – is known by many other names, including pinworms. This is because it is actually as thin and pointed as the pin, and is white like silver in appearance. It is sometimes also known as seatworm, possibly because it affects the organs of the body the most on which you sit.

Life cycle is simple for threadworms. Their larvae come from the swallowing eggs that then burst into the small intestine. They typically form a colony in the first part of the large intestine (cikam).

But their most noticeable effect appears on the back passage, as female insects usually migrate there to lay their eggs at night. This results in common symptoms of very itchy lower back, especially at night. A person suffering from itching naturally scratches, placing new eggs under his nails and allows them to spread to other hosts through contact. This can affect anyone – both adults and children.

It is possible to see threadworms in the stool after bowel movement. They can reveal themselves in many other ways, including irritability and bed wet at night. Because insects prefer to live in the intestine, in rare conditions they can mimic abdominal pain and appendicitis. In fact, in some cases the appendix is ​​removed and found that insects are filled in it. This condition is usually light and can be treated at home. Mebandazole is an oral anti-verm drug, which can be purchased at the counter in most pharmacies and is generally effective.

It is advisable to treat all the people in the house above two years of age, if they have already spread – remember that sometimes there are no symptoms. But it is necessary to talk to a doctor for pregnant or breastfeeding women under two years of age and a pregnant or breastfeeding women, as medicines may not be suitable. Cleanliness measures are important to help prevent infection and prevent spreading, especially in those who cannot take medicines. This involves washing hands thoroughly, washing clothes and avoiding scratching of affected areas. Cutting nails is also a good idea to prevent eggs from getting trapped under them. Hookworm threadworm is not the only insects that attack humans. For example, hookworms affect around 470 million people worldwide. U.K. Infection is rare, as hookworms prefer hot climate.

Like threadworms, they also live in the small intestine – although they can also reach there in a much more complex way. Hookworm larvae are able to pass through the skin and reach the lungs in the bloodstream. After reaching there, they move upwards in the throat where they can be swallowed.

Since the respiratory tract and intestine are preferred places for these insects, symptoms of hookworm infection are associated with them – such as cough and wheezing. Infection can cause inflammation in the small intestine, abdominal pain and diarrhea. It can also obstruct the absorption of protein and iron from the intestine, causing anemia.

A specific rash can be seen in that stage when larvae begins to pierce through the skin – somewhat resembles entering the snake's skin. In the medical profession, we call it dermatic larvae migreens. Like threadworm, hookworms can also be treated with oral drugs.
