How To Prevent And Treat Ascariasis

Careful Preparing Raw Produce

Another method to prevent ascariasis is to be mindful when preparing raw produce and meat. In regards to produce, vegetables and fruits are often resting in fields full of fertilizer and raw sewage. Fertilizer helps plants grow and make the soil rich. However, the waste used to fertilize the fields is often not checked to see if it contains parasites or other dangerous bacteria. As a result, individuals end up buying contaminated food in the store and eating it. Sometimes, it can brush right onto their hands, and they may choose to eat something else. However, the worms are already on their skin and enter their mouth with the food.

The same can be said for meat. In the slaughterhouse, meat is often contaminated when animals spray waste on themselves as they're slaughtered. If they were infected, then their meat might be infected. While individuals can cook some of this off, the contaminated juice is still around.
