What are helminthiasis Any helminthiasis (or helminthic disease), as a rule, is the result of infection of the human body by those parasites called roundworms and tapeworms. Roundworms exhibit a very active lifestyle in human tissue. Their entry into the body of adults can occur as a result of accidental ingestion of larvae, which develop from eggs, which are intermediate hosts of helminths. The larvae can enter the human body through the mouth or anus when consuming unboiled water, vegetables and fruits, and unwashed berries. It is very important to emphasize in the text that you can become infected with such a helminth while swimming in a freshwater body of water. The life cycle of this helminth includes the presence of two stages - larval (it is not capable of causing disease) and active. If the helminth leaves the human body at one of the first times, this can provoke the development of severe helminthiasis. May be predisposed to the disease
