Because worms usually affect the digestive system first, they cause problems like loss of appetite, stomachache, abdominal discomfort, bloating, diarrhea, bloody stool, vomiting, constipation and gas accumulation.

Other problems caused by worms are rashes, insomnia, eye pain, protein deficiency, nausea, mental dullness, coughing, fever, nervousness, anemia, cold chills, weakness and fatigue. When the worms increase in the body they weaken one’s immune system as the antibodies constantly try to fend them off. Worms have a life cycle, so they can be killed at every stage.

If one kills the eggs of worms, but not the worms, they will lay more eggs, thus the vicious cycle continues. Worms can be eliminated through colon cleansers, antibiotics as well as herbal remedies.

Many people have been asking what is happening with land tittles at the moment in Uganda. Why the system of getting a land title is so slow?

But the land ministry spokesman Denis Obbo says that the ministry is changing the land titles from manual to the computerized system. He says that there is great demand for land titles by people using the manual system and those digitalizing the titles.

Obbo, while speaking to the press in Kampala, said that the ministry has a new procedure for retrieval by those land titles that have been digitalized in order to ensure that they are transacted upon.

During the digitalizing process, the ministry also discovered what we would call ‘problematic titles’ that require rectification and completion before they are digitalized. Some have double plotting – different parcels but with the same identification codes, others signed but not sealed etc.
