How easily parasites pass into body. One careless meal, one sip of unsafe water, one walk barefoot on damp ground is enough. Small eggs hide under nails, in dust, on unwashed fruit. Worms live long inside without being noticed until stomach pain, weakness or weight loss shows up. Habits like washing hands, boiling water, trimming nails, keeping pets treated make big difference. Prevention is simpler than months of medicine later. In places where parasites spread often, regular deworming saves whole families from repeated sickness.

In villages, children often played barefoot in the soil and drank from a nearby pond. Many of them started feeling weak, with stomach pain and constant tiredness. Elders noticed swollen bellies and thought it was just poor food. Later, a health worker visited and explained these were signs of parasites from dirty water and soil. Families began boiling water, washing vegetables, wearing shoes, and cutting nails short. Over time, sickness reduced, kids had more energy, and stomach troubles lessened. The simple habits of clean food, safe water, and good hygiene turned into daily practice that protected them.

True that clean habits make a big difference. Washing hands the right way before eating or cooking stops a lot of trouble. Cooking meat fully and skipping raw fish cuts risk too. Safe water is huge, many people don’t realize how fast germs spread in dirty supply. Shoes outside help against hookworms, same for keeping nails short so eggs don’t stay under. Pets carry stuff too if not treated. Deworming in areas where it’s common is smart step. Simple habits really are strongest shield against parasites.
