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 each of us that this can not happen to us. At the same time, every day hundreds of people go to different doctors' offices and can not find the cause of their illness.

How do parasites enter the body?

Parasites enter the human organs in many ways, each of which we encounter in daily life all the time.

Methods for parasites to enter the body:

1. When eating lightly salted fish or caviar.
2. With lard poured with meat.
3. With wildlife meat.
4. With insufficiently cooked meat.
5. With smoked meat and fish.
6. With herbs, vegetables and fruits, which are poorly washed before use and not burned with boiling water.
7. When walking barefoot on the grass, in the area fertilized with manure.
8. From pets.
9. Insects like flies can lay eggs.

Signs of a parasitic infection

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

However, there are some symptoms, the presence of which may indicate that a parasite lives inside the human body:

• Intestinal disorders.
• Constipation. It is caused by parasites that are in a person for a long time and have reached large sizes, blocking the intestines, thus preventing the stable functioning of the body.
• Diarrhea. Free stools can also be a sign of parasites in the body. The cause of diarrhea can be a parasite, which secretes toxic substances in humans during his lifetime, which, among other things, can cause the excretion of feces.
• Stomach gas. The cause of these disorders can be worms in the human body, which cause inflammatory processes during their lifetime.
• Intestinal disease. Parasites that live inside a person absorb most of the beneficial nutrients from the body. In addition, by parasitizing inside the human body, worms lead to a malfunction of the well-coordinated functioning of the body. Thus, for example, the organs cease to properly assimilate fat, as a result of which it appears in the colon, further in the feces, which leads to defecation.
• Joint and muscle pain. Very often, these painful sensations, very similar to those experienced by a person with arthritis, are caused by the fact that the immune system, trying to expel parasites from the body, causes inflammatory processes in them, which are the causes of pain.
• Allergies. Often the causes of dermatitis, papillomas, eczema and all kinds of skin rashes are parasites that have lived in the body for a long time. Allergy is a certain signal for a person. Inside the body, the immune system, producing a large number of eosinophilic cells for the purpose of defense, triggers inflammatory processes, which lead to human skin problems.

• Anemia. This disease, caused by severe blood loss, can also develop as a result of the "activity" of parasites. Trichomonas, which lives in the intestinal mucosa, feeds not only on the nutrients of the body, but also on the blood. This is why, during mass reproduction, such parasites in an infected person, living mainly in blood cells, can lead to significant blood loss.
• Weight problems. Any metabolic failure can be caused by the vital activity of worms. They can both disrupt metabolism and cause weight loss, or, by consuming most of the glucose, cause excess weight.
• Increased irritation and nervousness. The vital activity of uninvited guests in the human body can not go unnoticed by the nervous system. Many parasites release toxins that can also irritate the nervous system. This can cause depression and frequent irritation.
• Fatigue. Lack of nutrients in humans, caused by the presence of "throat" worms, can lead to disruption of the immune system, as a result of which the person lacks energy.
• Insomnia. At night, mainly between two and three o'clock in the morning, the liver tries to cleanse the body of toxins, so at this time the parasites can escape through the anus. This process causes irritation and insomnia.
• Bruxism (gnashing of teeth during sleep). This symptom is common in children. This phenomenon is caused by the reaction of the nervous system to the toxic waste residues of worms living in the child's body.
• Immune disorders. The presence of parasites in the body causes a weakening of the body's immunity, which spends all its strength in the fight against intruders. In the meantime, any infection can easily enter a weakened human body.
• Airways. There, by irritating the bronchi, they can cause a runny nose and cough in a person, which in turn 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 manage to 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.

Diagnosing

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

Modern medical techniques are able to determine the presence of the intruder in the body in many ways.

Diagnostic options:

1. Stool analysis (should be repeated at least 3 times, while there are certain time periods in which it is better to take the analysis).
2. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
3. Immunity tests (ELISA tests).
4. Serological research methods.
5. Ultrasound of internal organs.
6. Endobiopsy.
7. PCR diagnosis that can determine the presence of parasites in a person based on DNA analysis study.

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

Classification of parasites

Below is a complete classification. The class is protozoal microorganisms, this class includes:

1. Dysentery 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).

Class of worms (helminths), these include:

1. Ascaris (ascariasis).
2. Opisthorkiaza (opisthorkiaza).
3. Stingworms (enterobiasis).
4. Ankistoloma (ankle worm).
5. Schistosomes (schistosomiasis).
6. Anisakida (anisakidoza).
7. Trichinella (trichinosis).

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

1. Lice (head lice).
2. Itching scabies (scabies).
3. Acne mite (demodicosis).

Types of parasites

In order to approximate the degree of vital activity of parasites in the human body, let’s take a closer look at some of them.

Toxocara - originally this parasite multiplied and lived exclusively in the organs of the dog digestive system. However, recent studies have shown that now a large number of people, mostly pet owners, are carriers of the toxocara.

The length of an adult toxocara, living inside an adult organism, reaches 30 cm. Toxocara is reproduced with the help of eggs that penetrate into dog feces.

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

Once introduced into the human body, the parasites are no longer able to multiply further inside the body, as the toxocara larvae mature, spread through vessels and internal organs, but are not distinguished outside.

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

It is worth noting that if the toxokara gets into the eye, it can be removed! The symptoms in the presence of this parasite in the human body are similar to others.

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

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

Ascaris at an early stage of infection can cause allergic reactions.

The length of the worms reaches 40 cm, and only one female lays about 200, 000 eggs every day. Also, ascaris, after entering the human body in the form of an egg, grows into a larva, then grows into the intestinal wall, from there enters the bloodstream, and from there enters any organ, including the liver, heart, the brain.

Ascaris is very dangerous because during its life it can end up in any organ, damaging it and causing serious diseases. This parasite can successfully reside in a person's blood, as a result of which an infected person may develop anemia or anemia. The symptoms of the presence of this worm in the body are similar to most.

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

Broadband is a parasite that grows up to 10 meters inside the human body. Such a worm can live inside a person for about 25 years. Tape can be inserted into the body when eating live fish, lobster and caviar. It is worth noting that such a large parasite in the body can not live without being noticed by humans.

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

A feature of the tape is the exit in the usual way with a person’s feces of a parasite part. This is what, as a rule, helps a person who did not pay attention to the symptoms to diagnose the presence of the parasite in the body without tests.

Prophylaxis

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

Complete food washing is the key to successful parasite prophylaxis.

Prevention of parasitic infection:

1. Observe the basic rules of personal hygiene.
2. Eliminate contact with stray animals.
3. Avoid contact of children with infected pets.
4. Minimize baby contact during a walk with places where pets are walking.
5. Wash your hands outside and before each meal.
6. Avoid eating while walking.
7. Frequent wet cleaning of the apartment.
8. Eat only well-washed vegetables and fruits, burnt with boiling water after that.
9. Eat meat products only after complete heat treatment, enough to prepare safe meals.
10. Drink only boiled water.
11. In the presence of pets, at least once every six months, carry out preventive measures.
