Who is at risk for hookworm infection

Condition analysis:
People living in areas with warm and moist climates and where sanitation and hygiene are poor are at risk for hookworm infection if they walk barefoot or in other ways allow their skin to have direct contact with contaminated soil. Soil is contaminated by an infected person defecating outside or when human feces ("night soil") are used as fertilizer. Children who play in contaminated soil may also be at risk.

Instructions:
Garlic
It seems like home remedies are never complete without this powerful herb making the list. Allicin, the active ingredient in garlic, has been shown to have numerous antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic qualities. Adding garlic to your meals, or more concentrated garlic powder, can quickly help treat hookworms, roundworms and tapeworms, as well as any other parasites in the body. Unlike many other home remedies for hookworms, garlic should be easily accessible in most places around the world.

Wormwood
As the name implies, wormwood has been used for hundreds of years as an herbal remedy for animals and humans that are infected with parasitic worms. Consuming regular doses of the herb, or in the form of an extract, can quickly starve the worms and cause them to die, when they will then be passed out of the body with normal excretion.
