Intestinal worms are parasitic infections that commonly affect the digestive tract, especially in children, but can also occur in adults. These worms, such as roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and pinworms, reside in the intestines and feed on the host’s nutrients, leading to a range of health issues.

One of the most noticeable signs of intestinal worms is paleness of the face, often due to anemia caused by nutritional deficiency. Affected individuals may also experience general weakness, fatigue, and lack of energy, as the body becomes deprived of essential vitamins and minerals. Other common symptoms include abdominal pain or cramping, nausea or vomiting, loss of appetite, itching around the anus, and sometimes weight loss despite normal or increased food intake.

The condition is often the result of poor hygiene, consuming contaminated food or water, walking barefoot on infected soil, or contact with infected individuals. Children are more susceptible due to their habits of playing in soil and putting hands in their mouths.

If left untreated, intestinal worms can lead to growth delays, learning difficulties, and chronic digestive problems. Treatment typically involves the use of anthelmintic (deworming) medications, improved hygiene practices, and maintaining clean food and water intake. Traditional and natural remedies—such as bitter herbs, garlic, neem, and pumpkin seeds—are also known to be effective in some systems of medicine.

Preventive measures include regular deworming, washing hands before eating, cleaning fruits and vegetables properly, and wearing footwear outdoors.
