Small creatures can forever leave their wearer blind, according to the online edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net People do not pay due attention to their health, including the fight against parasites. The latter often seize control over our body and can greatly undermine our health.. In particular, this applies to eyeworms, which, under certain conditions, can also leave a person blind for life.. Scientists decided to pay attention to the problem. They showed parasitic worms that live in human eyes.

One of the most dangerous and massive parasites of this class are worms, which are formed from eggs laid by infected black flies.. Scientists estimate that almost 200 million people live in areas where these parasites live.. There are villages in some African countries where 30-40 percent of the population has lost their sight because of these worms.. Today, a drug has been developed that allows you to painlessly get rid of these parasites, but it is still not available everywhere where there is a risk of infection..

As a rule, in more developed countries of the world, this problem is much less common.. For example, in the United States, the acanthamoeba parasite infects the body of 1-2 people per million annually.. Thelazia worms enter the human eye once every ten or twenty years.. At the same time, doctors urge not to be careless about their health, even if the danger is minimal.. If a person wears contact lenses, they should clean them regularly.. Eat only fresh and clean vegetables and fruits, carefully cook the meat and fish that you intend to eat. If located in the tropics or regions where there is a high risk of catching any parasite, then use an insect spray and cover the body with clothing as much as possible without leaving bare areas. If the worms nevertheless got into the body and, in particular, into the eye, then you need to immediately contact a qualified specialist and do not try to remove the parasite yourself.
