Depending on the type of pests, they can affect various organs. Some parasites able to migrate throughout the body, causing inflammation and allergies, poisoning the human body products of their life.

Helminths

These parasites affect the metabolism of the human body. Metabolism is disturbed due to the fact that part of the consumed food is absorbed by worms. it leads to a disorder in the secretion of pancreatic juice and secretion of bile, and also complicates the work of enzymes in food processing. Also, the presence of helminths leads to a decrease in the level of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals in the metabolism.

Often suppression of the immune system occurs, which leads to an increase in the incidence and reduces the effectiveness of vaccinations.

2. Mucosal damage. With their sharp processes, parasites injure the delicate surface of the mucous membranes in different parts of the digestive tract, which causes infection of the tissues and the development of fungi.
3. Toxic effects. Vital products of parasites and decaying dead pinworms lead to the accumulation of toxins and can cause human intoxication.
4. Violation of sleep and habitual way of life. In the evening and at night, pinworms go to the anus, causing discomfort to their wearer. Anal itching prevents sleep, interrupts sleep, makes a person irritable, reduces performance.
