Parasites that live in humans

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

But it always seems to each of us that this cannot happen to us. At the same time, every day hundreds of people go to different doctor's offices and can not find the cause of their illness.

How do parasites enter the body?

Parasites enter the human body in many ways, each of which we encounter every day in our daily lives.

Methods of parasites entering the body:

1. When eating lightly salted fish or caviar.
2. With lard stripped with meat.
3. With the meat of wild animals.
4. With undercooked meat.
5. With smoked meat and fish.
6. With herbs, vegetables and fruits that are poorly washed before use and not burned in hot water.
7. Walking barefoot in the meadow, fertilized area.
8. From pets.
9. Insects like flies can lay eggs.

Signs of parasitic invasion

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

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

• Intestinal diseases.
• Constipation. It is caused by parasites that have been present in a person for a long time and have reached large sizes, closing the intestines and preventing the stable functioning of the body.
• Diarrhea. Empty stools can also be a sign of parasites in the body. Diarrhea can be caused by a parasite that secretes toxins to people throughout its life and can, among other things, dilute the stool.
• Flatulence. These disorders can be caused by worms that cause inflammatory processes in the human body throughout their lives.
• Intestinal disease. The parasites that live inside a person take most of the nutrients from the body. In addition, parasitism in the human body, worms cause disruption of the body's well-coordinated activity. For example, the organs stop absorbing fats properly, and as a result, they appear in the large intestine and then in the feces, which leads to the breakdown of feces.
• Joint and muscle pain. Often, these painful feelings, which are very similar to the feelings experienced by a person with arthritis, are caused by the inflammatory processes that cause the immune system to try to get rid of parasites from the body.
• Allergies. Often the causes of dermatitis, papilloma, eczema and all kinds of skin rashes are parasites that live in the body for a long time. Allergies are a definite signal to a person. Inside the body, the immune system, which produces a large number of eosinophil cells to protect itself, causes inflammatory processes that cause problems in the human skin.

• Anemia. This disease, which is caused by severe blood loss, can also develop as a result of the "activity" of parasites. Trichomonas living in the intestinal mucosa feed not only on the body's nutrients, but also on the blood. Therefore, during mass reproduction, such parasites can cause significant blood loss in an infected person, mainly living in blood cells.
• Weight problems. Any metabolic deficiency can be caused by the vital activity of the worms. It can both disrupt metabolism and cause weight loss, or it can lead to excess weight by consuming too much glucose.
• Increased irritability and irritability. The vital activity of uninvited guests in the human body cannot be left out of the nervous system. Many parasites also release toxins that can irritate the nervous system. This can lead to depression and frequent irritability.
• Tiredness. Malnutrition caused by the presence of "swallowing" worms in humans can lead to a breakdown of the immune system, resulting in a lack of energy.
• Insomnia. At night, usually between two and three o'clock in the morning, the liver tries to cleanse the body of toxins, so the parasites can escape from the anus. This process causes irritation and insomnia.
• Bruxism (teeth bite while sleeping). This symptom is common in children. This phenomenon is caused by the reaction of the nervous system to the toxic waste products of worms living in the child's body.
• Immune disorders. The presence of parasites in the body weakens the body's immunity, which spends all its energy on the fight against intruders. At this time, any infection can easily enter the weakened human body.
• Airline. There, irritating the bronchi can cause a person to have a runny nose and cough, which can lead to fever and diseases such as asthma and pneumonia.
• Oncology. Parasites that live in human organs for a long time are able to cause serious damage to the tissues of internal organs, which leads to 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 exactly whether there is a liver in the body.

Modern medical methods can determine the presence of invaders from within the body in many ways.

Diagnostic options:

1. Fecal analysis (should be repeated at least 3 times, there are certain periods when it is better to take the analysis).
2. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
3. Immunoassay tests (ELISA tests).
4. Serological research methods.
5. Ultrasound examination of internal organs.
6. Endobiopsy.
7. PCR diagnostics that can detect the presence of a parasite in a person based on the study of DNA analysis.

It should be noted that the treatment of parasitic diseases should be carried out under the supervision of a physician who will prescribe a serious course of treatment. This type of disease, along with others, should not be treated on its own.

Classification of parasites

The following is a complete classification. The class is protozoal (protozoal) microorganisms, this class includes:

1. Dysentery amoebae that cause diseases such as amoebiasis.
2. Intestinal balantidiasis causes balantidiasis.
3. Leishmania (leishmaniasis).
4. Giardia (giardiasis).
5. Plasmodium falciparum (malaria).
6. Toxoplasmosis (toxoplasmosis).
7. Trichomonas (trichomoniasis).

The class of worms (helminths) is:

1. Ascaris (ascariasis).
2. Opisthorchiasis (opisthorchiasis).
3. Pinworms (enterobiasis).
4. Ankystoloma (hookworm).
5. Schistosomes (schistosomiasis).
6. Anisakida (anisakidosis).
7. Trichinella (trichinosis).

The class of ectoparasites (living on the surface of the body) includes:

1. Louse (head lice).
2. Itching itching (itching).
3. Acne tick (demodicosis).

Types of parasites

To get a rough idea of the scale of the parasites' vital activity in the human body, let's take a closer look at some of them.

Toxocara - initially this parasite multiplied and lived only in the organs of the digestive system of dogs. However, recent research shows that many people, especially pet owners, are carriers of toxocara.

The length of an adult toxocara, which lives inside an adult organism, reaches 30 cm. Toxocara reproduces with the help of eggs that penetrate the dog's feces.

The feces of a four-legged animal falls into the sand and where the toxocara eggs can be stored for several years. From there, the parasites penetrate a person under the shoes of a park where dogs walk, from the floor and from the hands of children touching everything on the ground.

Once in the human body, parasites are no longer able to reproduce inside the body, as toxocara larvae mature and spread between blood vessels and internal organs, but do not differentiate externally.

A biopsy of the affected organs (usually the liver) and immunological tests are needed to determine the presence of this parasite in a person.

It should be noted that if toxocara gets into the eyes, it can be eliminated! The symptoms of this parasite in the human body are similar to others.

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

According to some estimates, this parasite affects hundreds of millions of people every year.

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

The roundworm reaches a length of 40 cm, and only one female lays about 200, 000 eggs every day. In addition, ascaris enters the human body in the form of eggs and turns into larvae, then grows in the intestinal wall, from there it enters the bloodstream, and from there it enters any organ, including the liver, heart and brain. .

Ascaris is very dangerous because it can fall on any organ throughout its life, damage it and cause serious illness. This parasite can live successfully in a person's blood, resulting in an infected person developing anemia or anemia. The symptoms of the presence of this worm in the body are very similar.

Ascaris can be diagnosed at least 3 times with fecal examination, as well as immunological tests during the larval stage.

The tapeworm is a parasite that grows up to 10 meters in the human body. Such a worm can live in a human being for about 25 years. When eating raw fish, crayfish and caviar, tapeworms can get into the body. It should be noted that such a large parasite in the body cannot pass unnoticed to humans.

Signs of its presence are quite obvious, including active salivation in the morning, anemia, exhaustion, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, weakness, lethargy and drowsiness.

A feature of the black worm is that part of the parasite is excreted in the feces of a human in the usual way. This, as a rule, helps to determine the presence of the parasite in the body of a person who does not pay attention to the symptoms, without testing.

Prophylaxis

By following the simple basics of prevention, you can minimize the chances of an uninvited guest appearing on your body and your child's body.

Thorough washing of food is the key to successful prevention of parasites.

Prevention of parasitic invasion:

1. Follow the rules of personal hygiene.
2. Avoid contact with stray animals.
3. Avoid contact with infected pets in children.
4. Minimize your child's contact with pets while walking.
5. Wash your hands outdoors and before each meal.
6. Avoid eating while walking.
7. Frequent wet cleaning of the apartment.
8. After that, eat only well-washed vegetables and fruits fried in boiling water.
9. Eat meat products only after a complete heat treatment, it is enough to prepare a safe meal.
10. Drink only boiled water.
11. With the participation of pets, take preventive measures at least once every six months.
