A diet rich in garlic, pumpkin seeds, papaya seeds, pineapple, carrots, beets, and pomegranates can help kill parasites when these foods are eaten raw.

In one study, researchers found that a mixture of honey and papaya seeds with plenty of water effectively flushes the system.
Eating more fiber can help the body get rid of worms.
Avoid simple carbohydrates such as refined foods, sweet juices, and sugar.
Drink plenty of water to aid bowel movements.
Temporarily avoid coffee and alcohol.
Eat foods rich in beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin. Vitamin A increases resistance to parasites.
Add spices such as turmeric and cloves, which can help eliminate parasites.
5. Colon Cleanse

This is a popular alternative approach based on a high-fiber diet and supplements such as psyllium husk, citrus pectin, papaya extract, bentonite clay, activated charcoal, pumpkin seeds, beet roots, and flax and chia seeds.

Prevent infection

We've already mentioned that parasitic infections are highly contagious. You can easily transmit parasite eggs to anything and everyone you touch. Therefore, it's important to wash your hands and maintain good hygiene habits to reduce the risk of further transmission. Wash your hands after using the restroom and before eating or preparing food. When traveling abroad, pay attention to the quality of drinking water and the hygiene of your food, and wash fruits and vegetables.
