Prevention

Since parasites are difficult to find and often more difficult to treat, the best solution is to prevent them in the first place. We need to keep up our defense systems to avoid offering an open invitation to these opportunistic critters. Our best defense is a strong immune system, which we must maintain. We must also be aware of the risks of parasitic infection in our everyday lives and learn to avoid them.

  • Good personal hygiene is important.
  • Avoid water-borne disease by drinking only filtered water.
  • Treat all foods in a special cleansing bath (vinegar and water)
  • When traveling get pre-travel information on food, water, and other hygienic practices.
  • Practice safe sex and avoid certain sexual practices.
  • Deworm all pets and wash hands after petting them. Only clean up messes with gloves on.

Parasites cannot infect a healthy body in a healthy environment.
