Intestinal worms are more common than many people think, especially in areas where hygiene, water quality, or food safety may be compromised. They can affect both children and adults, often without obvious symptoms at first.

Common signs may include:

• Stomach discomfort or bloating 🤢
• Unexplained fatigue 😴
• Itching (especially at night)
• Changes in appetite
• Digestive issues

While proper medical treatment is often necessary—especially for confirmed infections—some foods contain natural compounds that may help support the body in fighting parasites.
