Here is seven easy ways to avoid parasites.

1) Wash your hands before eating and after using the washroom.

2) Wear gloves when gardening or working with soil or sand because soil can be contaminated with eggs or cysts of parasites.

3) Woman who are pregnant should avoid handling cat litter.

4) Do not allow children to be licked or kissed by pets that are not dewormed regularly.

5) Wash fresh vegetables carefully. Many people get Entamoeba histolytica by eating contaminated raw fruit and vegetables.

6) Avoid eating raw meat, which may contain Giardia lamblia.

7) Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and boots when walking in the woods. In addition, spray insect-repellent on clothing to prevent tick bites.
