✅ Magpakonsulta sa Barangay Health Center ukon health worker para sa husto nga bulong kag dosage.
✅ Tudluan ang mga bata sang husto nga paghugas sang kamot, paggamit sang limpyo nga tubig, pagkaon sang limpyo kag luto nga pagkaon, kag pagsuksok sang tsinelas ukon sapatos.
✅ Magpakigbahin sa mga programa sang deworming sa eskwelahan kag komunidad.
