Most people do not even think about what is inside their body lives someone. We talk about parasites. Someone thinks, because in his house no animals, but the hands he washes each exit to the street, the risk of attack is minimal. This is not so. According to medical statistics, parasites in the human body are present in almost 50% of cases. Worms, for example, are among the oldest creatures parasites in the human body. They are so adapted to life inside human beings, often their presence does not manifest itself and the media it seems that the infected are asymptomatic.
In fact, the symptoms were always there, it is important to see the warning signs. Today we will look at what symptoms indicate the presence of infection, what action to take to prevent infestations and how the treatment can be directed against parasites, if they are detected.
Symptoms of infection
The biggest problem from this perspective, the detection of parasites in the body – a diversity of symptoms, which may be confusing for not only the person but also the doctor, the patient asked for advice. Depending on the species, location and life cycle, the parasites appear in a different way. Sometimes people do not notice, most of the symptoms, stop the attention only to one (for example, pain in the lungs). As a result patient care is to recognize the disease, if he shows up, if not sent home for lack of the clinical picture.
Therefore, it is important to see a picture of your overall health, noting comprehensive changes to the state. Medical highlights more than a dozen signs of the infection. Consider these symptoms in a table format.

| Pain in muscles and joints | Parasites can live in the connective tissue, joint fluid and muscles. Moving, they cause pain, which many attributed to arthritis, injuries or tension. In fact pain in muscles and joints can indicate inflammation, which are due to the action of parasites. |

| Headaches | A regular pain in the head, dizziness, nausea indicate intoxication of the organism, because the parasitic infestation. |
| Unreasonable to reduce/increase the weight | The lack of weight is due to the internal food consumers, who eat the same as people. Increasing weight is associated with the fact that the body, on the contrary, lose nutrients, people are constantly experiencing spikes in blood sugar and hunger. |
| Sleep disorders | Frequent awakenings, nervous and light sleep are often related to parasitic infection. The liver is trying to cleanse the toxic substances excreted by the parasite, and generally its activity falls in the middle of the night. Also, the person may be concerned about the itching in the anus, not giving to sleep. |
| Bruxism (grinding of the teeth during sleep) | Teeth grinding is one of the symptoms of infection of the parasite, especially common in children. It is believed that as the nerve endings react to intoxication and inflammation. |

| Violations of the chair | Constipation or diarrhea possible symptoms refer to parasites living in the gut. Constipation, related to the fact that heavy infestations lead to blockage of the intestinal tract, diarrhea. |
| Intestinal irritation | When inflammation of the walls of the body, the parasite causes cider irritable bowel. This process impairs the absorption of nutrients, and also makes it impossible for the absorption of fats in the right division, resulting in spasms and pain. |
| Swelling | Bloating, feeling full, bloated abdomen is a strong sign of the parasite in the body. Pay attention to this symptom it is necessary, if the gas happens regardless of the meal. |
| Skin problems | Hives, acne, eczema, dermatitis and other rashes, the skin – a sign that the body is full of parasites. The results of their activities have a negative impact on the digestive system, which will inevitably be "broadcast" and on the skin. |
| Disorders of the nervous system | Irritability, nervousness, depression and feelings of gloom may be symptoms of infection. The systematic poisoning of the body leads to abnormalities in the nervous system, especially in the chapter relevant for the kids. Causeless crying, whims, and fears may be quite a "physical" background. |
| Chronic fatigue | Apathy, lethargy and unwillingness to carry out even minimal physical activity – "Hello" from the body suffers from toxicity and lack of nutrients which the parasites are stealing. |
| Reduced immunity | A number of viral and bacterial diseases, disturbances of the microflora, colds and infections – symptoms of an attack. Parasites weaken the immune system, reduce the production of immunoglobulin. |
| General symptoms of health, pain in various organs | Depending on the localization of the parasite can affect any organ: the lung, heart, brain, liver, or pancreas. |
| Tumors and formations | The above mentioned signs and symptoms, especially in conjunction with provoke the emergence of various tumors, including cancer. The end of the parasite, the organism can not handle their growth. |
The above mentioned symptoms rarely occur in a moment for this to happen, is a parasitic infestation need to be very strong. But the combination of the three or four things happen everywhere. See, for example, certain infections:
- Ascarids – intestinal pain, disorders of the chair, dysfunction of the liver and pancreas.
- Pinworms is burning sensation and itching around the anus, diarrhea, bloating, bruxism, nervous disorders, loss of appetite, headache.
- Lantecy – weight loss, allergic reactions, weakened immunity, bowel disease.
Diagnosis of parasites
If a person find yourself or your loved ones some of the above symptoms, it is recommended to examine to be sure that identify parasites in the body. For this purpose, you can refer to our general doctor (or a pediatrician, if we talk about the child) an appropriate target. Usually the officer will write out directions for analysis of blood, saliva and feces.
Modern medicine also provides immunological testing for parasitic infestation, as well as comprehensive tests to reveal a specific group of parasites. Unfortunately, these complex analyses are paid and they can go to private clinics. But the results point definitely to a certain species of pests, which allows you to determine the appropriate treatment.
There is no cure, as effectively affect all groups of parasites. In appointing the drug must be taken into account the development stage of the pest, because the drugs work the eggs, can not hit adults. So start treatment is when there is already analysed and their definitions. Usually doctors use several different drugs, which we describe below.
Treatment of parasitic infestations
Anti-parasitic drugs, are present, there is a broad spectrum of activity, i.e. cover several different parasitic organisms, of the people. However, as noted above, every drug has a specific activity, and it is determined after diagnosis. However, in the medical Arsenal, if the infestation is about a dozen vehicles (and their analogues), which have proven to be safe and effective.
The first group of drugs, which are used for detection in the body of round worms, nematodes, helminths. Drugs are prescribed if a person is infected with, such as the parasite, such as pinworms, ascarids, vlasoglavy, Trichinella, and the like.
The second group of drugs is effective against tape worms, cestodes tapeworms. These are the broad tapeworm, flukes, dwarf, pork and beef tapeworm – these parasites are the most common.
It is clear that when infected by parasites in one member of the family, with the probability of 99% of the other household members are also carriers of these pests. Accordingly, made in the diagnosis and treatment is recommended for the whole family. The same applies to small groups of people, closely communicate with each other (kindergarten, for example).
Traditional methods of getting rid of parasites

The fact that pumpkin seeds contain special substance which paralyzes the pest and temporarily depriving them of the opportunity to be attached to the walls of the organs.
