Has a plumber from time to time I get worms, it happens.But I have seen increases in the numbers of people getting them in the past year.
It’s the warm wet summers and mild winters.
Symptoms
The usual symptoms of intestinal worms are diarrhoea, foul breath, dark circles under the
eyes, constant desire for food, restlessness at night with bad dreams, anaemia and headache.Roundworms may give rise to inflammation of the intestine and lungs, nausea, vomiting, loss of weight, fever, nervousness and irritability.
Pinworms and thread worms may bring on intense itching in the area around the rectum.
Threadworms may cause periodic bouts of diarrhoea alternating with constipation, loss of weight, cough and fever.
Hookworms may give rise to anaemia and nutritional disorders.
The presence of giardia may result in pain in the calves and weakness in the legs.
Talk about global warming biteing you in the ass.
So just for all of you who don’t get them, I am putting up a link for you all to read.
