It is proven that parasites (or worms, as they are called in the people) able to strike and "occupy" any part of the body, including the eye, the brain, the heart.
And it is full of development of the pathology is severe, including:
- bronchial asthma,
- iron-deficiency anemia,

Consider the symptoms that in combination may indicate the presence of parasites in the body.
The symptoms of helminthiasis (worms)
Itching in worms
