In Ghana, a common traditional dewormer is the use of herbal remedies such as neem leaves and pawpaw seeds. Worms typically enter the human body through contaminated food and water, poor sanitation, or by direct contact with infected soil. While most intestinal worms can cause health issues, some play a role in maintaining gut health and regulating immune responses, highlighting their complex relationship with humans. However, the negative impacts of parasitic infestations generally outweigh any potential benefits.
