The GIT worm infestation is usually Sign of poor water and or food hygiene. Wash your hands before and after eating , after using toilets etc. drink filtered water if you can have water purifier at home or bottled water when you eat and drink water outside of your home. deworming once every 6 months is ok. Albendazole ( generic name ) 400 mg ,once is the dose.
