Deworming is the process of removing parasitic worms from the body, commonly affecting humans and animals. These worms can cause various health issues, including malnutrition, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Deworming is typically done using medication that targets specific types of worms, such as roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. Regular deworming is especially important for children and pets, as they are more susceptible to infections. Health organizations often recommend routine deworming in areas where parasitic infections are common. Preventive measures, such as good hygiene and proper sanitation, can help reduce the risk of worm infestations.
