However, the importance of food processing is very relative. In the 1930s, a scientist conducted an experiment. He fed cats only raw meat and milk, and found that they had fewer parasites than cats fed processed food. Of course, people do not put such experiments, but some experts believe that not all processed foods are equally useful. That is the meat, for example, be sure to thoroughly cook, but at the same time by the use of meat products (which are, of course, also have been processed) it is better to abstain. Fresh fruits and vegetables, on the surface which may be the larvae of worms, there are still necessary, but do not forget to use to wash them thoroughly and, preferably, peel.

However, we can not completely exclude the possibility that even a child in a prosperous country can get in the soil-dwelling worms. Parasites can get from the soil to the skin, fruits, vegetables, and other foods. How to prevent contamination?

Avoid any products made from unpasteurized milk, salads, meat and fish, held insufficient heat treatment. If the food has passed the heat treatment, but after that there was a few hours, it could already start to breed pathogens, so there should not be. Buying food and drinks from street vendors increases the risk of helminthiasis. Carry a disinfectant in case you will not be able to wash your hands before eating.

In adolescents, prednisolone may also cause disturbances in sexual development, as has a pronounced effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system, which in turn inhibits the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins, which should stimulate the secretion of sex hormones.
