- Notes
- Irene went to maliga to talk about the symptoms and signs of intestinal worms she started with a review of the previous lesson then later asked the members some of the things that may show that someone has worms.
Aida said scratching of the anus in children, Sylvia replied to that and said even adults scratch themselves and several people argued that out with some saying adults don’t have worms.worms are seen in the pup moving if one looks at it Samuel said, bloody stool,loss of appetite,distended abdomen and more as the group discussed.
With several discussions Irene emphasized on adults having worms too since they also carry germs under their nails,cultivate and eat with dirty hands,half cooked food and meat,and several others as they discussed.
How do we treat them?, Frida asked, Irene suggested that the next time they meet they will talk about the prevention and treatment of intestinal worms.
