What Are the Symptoms of Worm Infections?

Worm infections are commonly caused by intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and pinworms. Typical symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and unexplained weight loss. Some individuals experience anal itching (especially with pinworms), fatigue, anemia due to blood loss, or visible worms in stool. Children may show irritability, poor appetite, and slowed growth. In severe cases, worms can cause intestinal blockage or nutritional deficiencies. Proper diagnosis involves stool examination and medical evaluation. Treatment usually includes antiparasitic medications like mebendazole; however, purchasing mebendazole wholesale should only be done through licensed pharmaceutical suppliers to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
