👉 A helminthagogue is a type of medical procedure used to treat certain types of parasites, such as worms and protozoans. It involves inserting a camera into the body and using ultrasonic waves to destroy or kill the parasite. This can be done through a small incision in the skin or through an injection into the bloodstream. Helminthagogues are often recommended for people with severe or persistent infections that cannot be treated by other means, such as tuberculosis or leprosy.
