      There are lots of different kinds of worms that can have different affects – some kinds just hang around in the stomach and ‘steal’ food and nutrients, some migrate to a part of the body where they can get lots of nutrients (like the liver) and mostly the affect they have is to weaken the body because it isn’t getting all the nutrients it needs.
