Step 1: Keep track of any unexplained weight loss.
When you have worms in your body, you get less nutrients than you are used to because the worm is consuming these nutrients.
You may therefore begin to lose weight because while you are eating like normal, your body is not absorbing the calories and nutrients that it should because the worm is taking them from you.If you start to lose weight without trying to, keep track of the weight you lose.
If you continue to shed pounds, talk to your doctor. -
