Deficiency of useful compounds disrupts the functioning of endocrine glands, and the child can be provoked by curvature of the spine and flat feet;
- In the process of growth and reproduction, helminths poison tissues and organs with toxic substances that drain the immune and nervous system. A person suffers from pain in joints, allergic reactions and respiratory diseases.
Many types of worms are very large. The mechanical effect of worm parasites on the liver or gastrointestinal tract often provokes intestinal obstruction, necrosis of intestinal walls, bleeding, the formation of tumors.
