This has turned out to have parasites (or worms, as they are called in the people) able to strike and "occupy" any part of the body, including the eyes, brain, heart.
And this is fraught with the development of severe pathology, including:
- bronchial asthma,
- iron-deficiency anemia,
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract,
- neurological disorders
- formation of granulomas in the lungs, liver, abdomen,
- the weakening of the immune system.
Consider the symptoms that in combination may signal the presence of parasites in the body.
Symptoms of helminthiasis (worms)
The itching of the worms
One of the most characteristic symptoms of helminthiasis (presence of worms in the body), itching in the anal canal. The itching is often worse at night, when the parasites lay eggs, which produce toxic substances.
Skin rash on worms

However, many times carried out a study which attempted to establish the connection between teeth grinding and worms, have not yielded positive results.
The scientists say that the gnashing of the teeth during sleep is a result of malocclusion, pathology of ENT-organs or diseases of the nervous system.
Worms and weight loss
