Deworming is advised at least once a year. adults need deworming because there is a mild chance of parasites getting in our body orally either due to poor hygiene or outside food.
What is the purpose of deworming?
Deworming improves your child's immunity, and thereby protecting him/her from chronic illnesses caused by worms. It improves concentration and attendance, making them more productive in school. It increases nutrional uptake and controls infections such as anemia, loose bowels, etc.
When should an adult be dewormed?
Adults should take a deworming treatment as soon as their little one shows any symptoms (which can include irritability, tiredness, loss of appetite and an itchy bottom, among others). Follow-ups in two to four weeks are also highly recommended if signs and symptoms of an infection are still present.
