In 20-30 years ago, many people in the body, there will be a parasite, they are scientifically called "dragon worms", once they parasitize, then, it will be very painful, at this time, you need to eat "deworming drugs" to make it.
So, what is a "dragonfly"? Why does it grow in the human body?
Many friends will feel unfamiliar with the name "dragonfly", but they also have a familiar name - roundworms. In the past, because people's awareness of hygiene was not strong, and the standard of living was far less than today, many people would have roundworms in their stomachs.
From a medical point of view, roundworms are also one of the most common parasites in the human body, including now, although roundworms are not common, but there will still be some children, because of parental negligence, or the children themselves do not love to clean, there will also be roundworms in the stomach.
For example, in Shenzhen, China, there was once such a thing: a 4-year-old boy, often at home shouting stomach pain, the family felt that it may be that the child ate too much, or cold, so did not take it seriously, until one day, the child suddenly hurt badly, the family took him to the hospital for examination, the result did not expect the doctor to actually from the child's stomach, pulled out 2 pounds of parasitic liquid.
You know, a few decades ago, almost 90% of children had roundworms in their stomachs, so such a situation is not uncommon, but in the 21st century, this situation can only be said to be too careless of parents, and usually too careless to children.
It is said that disease from the mouth into, roundworms appear in the human intestine, mainly related to not paying attention to hygiene, when the body grows roundworms, in addition to feeling stomach pain, itching pain, there will also be abnormal eating, simply put, it will become very edible, but can not absorb nutrients, but will eat more and more thin, the whole person becomes yellow muscle thin, malnutrition.
Speaking of, a few years ago, there was a group of women who loved beauty on the Internet, in order to "eat dry and not fat", they would take the initiative to "raise roundworms" in their own bodies, which was also a hotly discussed "roundworm weight loss method", of course, this weight loss method is not advisable, serious may cause death, and everyone should not try.
After all, our country has made great efforts to eliminate the parasitism of human roundworms, and it is clear that "roundworm disease" is now rare, and we really do not need to let them appear in our bodies.
So, how does China eradicate "ascariasis"? Why are so few people living with worms now?
Decades ago, if you want to eliminate roundworms in the stomach, you are eating "insect repellents", but because the life force of roundworms is too strong, even after taking "insect repellents", it is difficult for roundworms to leave the human body with the excrement, and many times, half of them come out, and the other half remains in the body.
At this time, it is necessary to "pull them out", which for many people, pulling bugs out of their own bodies is really a nightmare that feels terrible and disgusting when they think about it.
Speaking of, when it comes to "anthelmintic drugs", many people will think of the day of eating "pagoda candy", which is a drug specifically for the treatment of ascariasis, but unlike other drugs that will be bitter to eat, pagoda candy is sweet to eat, and the appearance is not like medicine, which also makes many children take the initiative to eat pagoda candy, which also has a great effect on the elimination of "ascariasis" in China.
And when the time enters the 21st century, China's health, medical and other aspects, but also ushered in rapid development, people's living standards have been significantly improved, roundworms are gradually in Our country, lost the "hotbed of growth", now, in addition to the occasional few cases appear, basically few people will have worms in the stomach.
This is also why there are now some young people who have not experienced the fear of being dominated by "roundworms" when they are young, and will take the initiative to eat roundworms for beauty, hoping that roundworms can make them "thin and beautiful", after all, for people who have experienced "roundworm disease", they absolutely do not want to try again.
So, in addition to our country, will residents of other countries also suffer from "ascariasis"? The answer is yes, according to the World Health Organization: Globally, about 1 billion people still suffer from "ascariasis", the vast majority of whom are children.
Of course, "ascariasis" is also mainly in the economy, health and other aspects of the country and region are relatively poor, for example, Africa has always been a high incidence of "ascariasis", for example, in 2019, cameroon, Africa, there is a 4-year-old boy, through surgery, from the stomach suddenly removed dozens of roundworms, and doctors also said that this is because the child has never been dewormed, so there will be so many roundworms in the stomach.
Therefore, although china's "ascariasis" has been very rare, but it has not completely disappeared, therefore, if you have 2-10 years of age at home, you must pay more attention, because children of this age are the most likely to be infected with "ascariasis", usually must pay attention to personal hygiene and dietary hygiene.
