Parasites that live in humans

It has long been known that almost all diseases of various organs can be caused by the presence of parasites in the body.

However, it always seems to us that this cannot happen to us. At the same time, every day hundreds of people go to different doctors ’offices and are unable to find the cause of their illness.

How do Parasites Enter the Body?

Parasites enter human organs in a variety of ways, each of which we encounter in everyday life all the time.

Method of entry of parasites into the body:

1. While eating salted fish or caviar.
2. With lard smeared with meat.
3. With wild animal meat.
4. With undercooked meat.
5. With smoked meat and fish.
6. With ingredients, vegetables and fruits, which are washed badly before use and not baked with boiling water.
7. While walking barefoot on the grass, in the area fertilized with manure.
8. From pets.
9. Insects such as flies can lay eggs.

Signs of parasitic infestation

After studying how parasites enter the human body, almost every inhabitant of the planet finds himself in a so -called risk zone.

However, there are certain symptoms, the presence of which may mean that the parasite lives in the human body:

• Intestinal disorders.
• Constipation. It is caused by parasites that have long been present in a person and reach large sizes, blocking the intestines, thus preventing stable bodily functions.
• Diarrhea. Loose stools can also be a sign of parasites in the body. The cause of diarrhea can be a parasite, which releases toxic substances to humans during his lifetime, which among other things can cause dilution of feces.
• Bloated stomach. The cause of this disorder can be a worm in the human body, which causes a lifelong inflammatory process.
• Intestinal diseases. The parasites that live inside a person absorb most of the beneficial nutrients from the body. In addition, parasites in the human body, worms cause damage to well -coordinated bodily functions. So, for example, the organ stops assimilating fat properly, as a result of which it appears in the large intestine, further in the stool, which causes a violation of stool.
• Joint and muscle pain. Often, this painful sensation, very similar to that experienced by a person suffering from arthritis, is due to the fact that the immune system, which tries to expel parasites from the body, causes an inflammatory process in it, which is the cause of pain.
• Allergies. Often the cause of dermatitis, papilloma, eczema and all types of skin rashes are parasites that have long lived in the body. An allergy is a specific signal to a person. In the body, the immune system, producing a large number of eosinophil cells for protective purposes, causes an inflammatory process, which causes problems on human skin.

• Anemia. The disease, which is caused by severe blood loss, can also develop as a result of the "activity" of the parasite. Trichomonas, which lives in the intestinal mucosa, not only feeds on body nutrients, but also blood. That is why, during mass reproduction, such parasites in infected people, which live mainly in blood cells, can cause significant blood loss.
• Weight problems. Any metabolic failure can be caused by the vital activity of the worm. Both can disrupt metabolism and cause weight loss, or, by consuming most glucose, lead to overweight.
• Increased itching and irritation. The important activities of the uninvited guests in the human body cannot be noticed by the nervous system. Many parasites release toxins that can irritate the nervous system as well. This can lead to depression and frequent irritability.
• Fatigue. Lack of nutrients in humans, caused by the presence of "gluttonous" worms, can lead to disorders of the immune system, as a result of which the person lacks energy.
• Insomnia. At night, especially between two and three o'clock in the morning, the liver tries to cleanse the body of toxins, so that during this time the parasites can escape through the anus. This process causes itching and insomnia.
• Bruxism (teeth grinding during sleep). These symptoms are common in children. This phenomenon is caused by the reaction of the nervous system to the toxic waste products of worms that live in the child's body.
• Immune disorders. The presence of parasites in the body causes the immune system to weaken, which spends all its strength in fighting the invaders. Meanwhile, any infection can enter the weakened human body.
• Air way. There, irritating the bronchi, they can cause a runny nose and cough in a person, which then leads to an increase in body temperature and diseases such as asthma and pneumonia.
• Oncology. Parasites that live in human organs for a long time cause serious damage to the tissues of internal organs, which causes inflammation and slows down the work of the whole organism and leads to negative consequences.

Diagnostics

In the 21st century, everything can be diagnosed, including the presence of parasites in a person. Anyone can pass all the necessary tests and determine the presence or absence of flux in the body accurately.

Modern medical techniques can determine the presence of invaders in the body in a variety of ways.

Diagnostic options:

1. Stool analysis (must be repeated at least 3 times, while there is a certain period of time where it is better to take the analysis)
2. Enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
3. Immunoassay test (ELISA test).
4. Serological research methods.
5. Ultrasound of internal organs.
6. Endobiopsy.
7. PCR diagnostics that can prove the presence of parasites in a person based on DNA analysis studies.

It should be borne in mind that the treatment of parasitic diseases should be carried out strictly under the supervision of a physician who will prescribe treatment. This type of disease, along with others, cannot be cured on its own.

Classification of parasites

Here is the complete classification. This class is a protozoan microorganism (protozoa), this class includes:

1. Dysentery of the amoeba, which causes diseases such as amoebiasis.
2. Intestinal balantidiasis, causing balantidiasis.
3. Leishmania (leishmaniasis).
4. Giardia (giardiasis).
5. Plasmodium falciparum (malaria).
6. Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis).
7. Trichomonas (trichomoniasis).

Classes of worms (helminths), these include:

1. Ascaris (ascariasis).
2. Opisthorchiasis (opisthorchiasis).
3. Cream worms (enterobiasis).
4. Ankystoloma (mine worm).
5. Schistosomes (schistosomiasis).
6. Anisakida (anisakidosis).
7. Trichinella (trichinosis).

Classes of ectoparasites (living on the surface of the body), these include:

1. Louse (head lice).
2. Itchy scabies (scabies).
3. Acne mites (demodicosis).

Types of parasites

To roughly imagine the scale of important activity of parasites in the human body, let us take a closer look at some of them.

Toxic - initially this parasite reproduces and lives exclusively in the organs of the dog's digestive system. However, recent studies show that now a large number of people, especially pet owners, are carriers of toxocara.

The length of the adult toxocara, which resides in the adult organism, reaches 30 cm. Toxocara reproduces with the help of eggs that seep into dog feces.

The excrement of four -legged animals falls to the ground and sand, where toxocara eggs can be stored for up to several years. From there, the parasite penetrates a person through the soles of shoes, the floor and the child’s hands touch everything on the ground in the park where the dog walks.

Once inside the human body, the parasite can no longer reproduce further inside the body, as the toxocar larvae mature, spreading through the ducts and internal organs, but not protruding on the outside.

To diagnose the presence of this parasite in a person, it is necessary to undergo a biopsy of the affected organ (usually the liver) and immunological tests.

Keep in mind that if toxocara gets into the eyes, it can be removed! The symptoms of the presence of this parasite in the human body are similar to the others.

Ascaris is a type of parasite that enters the human body with unwashed vegetables and herbs, dirty hands, dust, and can be carried by flies.

According to some reports, this parasite attacks about hundreds of millions of people each year.

Ascaris in the early stages of infection can cause allergic reactions.

The ringworm reaches 40 cm in length, and only one female lays about 200, 000 eggs per day. Also, ascaris, having entered the human body in the form of eggs, grows into larvae, then grows in the intestinal wall, from there enters the bloodstream, and from there it enters any organ, including the liver, heart, brain.

Ascaris is very dangerous, because throughout its life it can end up in any organ, damaging it and causing serious illness. These parasites can successfully inhabit a person's blood, as a result the infected person can develop anemia or anemia. The symptoms of the presence of these worms in the body are similar to most.

Ascaris can be diagnosed with the help of stool studies at least 3 times, as well as with the help of immunological tests on the larval period.

Broad tapeworms are parasites that grow up to 10 meters inside the human body. Such worms can live inside a person for about 25 years. Tapeworms can enter the body when eating raw fish, lobster and caviar. Keep in mind that parasites that are so large in the body cannot live without being noticed by humans.

Signs of its presence are quite obvious, among them active salivation, especially in the morning, anemia, fatigue, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, weakness, lethargy and drowsiness.

The characteristic of tapeworms is the way out in the usual way with one’s feces from the parasitic part. This is what, as a rule, helps a person who does not pay attention to symptoms to diagnose the presence of parasites in the body without testing.

Prophylaxis

By observing the basics of simple prevention, you can minimize the chances of uninvited guests appearing on your body and on your child’s body.

Thorough washing of food is the key to successful prophylaxis against parasites.

Prevention of parasite attacks:

1. Follow the basic rules of personal hygiene.
2. Eliminate contact with wild animals.
3. Avoid contact with children with infected pets.
4. Minimize the child’s contact while walking with places where pets are walking.
5. Wash hands after outdoors and before every meal.
6. Avoid eating while walking.
7. Frequent wet cleaning of the apartment.
8. Eat vegetables and fruits that have been well washed, baked with boiling water afterwards.
9. Eat meat products only after full heat treatment, enough to prepare a safe meal.
10. Drink only boiled water.
11. If there are pets, at least once every six months, take precautions.
