Have you or any of your families experienced having worms? Yuck, you may say that it is and it is understable naman. Worms or “bulate” are yucky and harmful to anyone who has them inside. They are parasites and they can make our children sick. These worms can stunt our children’s growth, affect their mental performance and they can cause malnutrition. As moms, we would never want our children to have any of these worms.
But like any other kind of health conditions, it will be tough to fight one when we are not equipped with the right information. For one, Filipinos believe that only children who live in dirty places and with poor hygiene are prone to worms.
In reality, worms are everywhere. They are organisms that are too tiny to be seen by the naked eye and they can be picked up along the way. This means that no matter how clean our homes are nor how clean our bodies are, it is still possible to be infected with worms because they are easily passed on. Yes, napapasa ang worms.
Even when the kids are always at home, you still can’t say they are protected. Totoo yung sinasabi ni Lola na “hindi dapat magpapaa ang mga bata kasi bubulatihin”. BUT hindi lang yon ang pwedeng maging reason. The simple act of not washing hands after going to the loo can also be one. And the adults who work outside the home can also pickup worms, along the way. Once at home, sharing food with the whole family, touching the same kutsara at tinidor with a person with worm infection, can still be a way to spread worm infection.
Even adults shouldn’t underestimate worms and think that we are invicible from worms. We can still suffer from health complications when we get infected. But even so, worms can be eliminated by deworming and there’s nothing to fear or be ashamed about it. Deworming can be done by taking in deworming treatments such as Antiox.
What’s best with (Mebendazole) Antiox is that it is a brand that can be used by every member of the family, may they be young and old. It is available as a chewable or as a one-dose chocolate flavored suspension.
As moms, we can only be fully confident of our family’s health if we know that we have made all the necessary steps we know. Sometimes though, because deworming is not a popular topic or something that has been related to dirty things or places, we either forget about it or just shy away from talking about it. Don’t be.
Let’s be our children’s best role models when it comes to deworming. Show them that we are serious in the fight against worms. Send the word to other moms that Antiox is the deworming brand to use for the kids. Instead of passing worms, pass the message about Antiox. Because a worm-free family makes a worm-free community.
*Mebendazole Antiox is contraindicated in children below 1 year old. Read the special warning and special precautions for use included in the packaging before using.
