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 cannot happen to us. At the same time, hundreds of people go to different doctor's offices every day and cannot find the cause of their illness.

How do parasites get into the body?

Parasites penetrate human organs in a variety of ways, which we constantly encounter in everyday life.

Methods of penetration of parasites into the body:

1. When consuming lightly salted fish or caviar.
2. With lard infused with meat.
3. With meat from wild animals.
4. For insufficiently cooked meat.
5. With smoked meat and fish.
6. With herbs, vegetables and fruits that have been poorly washed before use and not scalded with boiling water.
7. When walking barefoot on the grass, on the manure-fertilized area.
8. From pets.
9. Insects like flies can carry eggs.

Signs of parasite infestation

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

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

• Bowel disease.
• Constipation. It is caused by parasites that have long been inside a person and have grown to large sizes, blocking the intestines, thereby preventing the body from functioning properly.
• Diarrhea. Soft stools can also be a sign of parasites in the body. The cause of diarrhea can be a parasite, which in the course of its life secretes toxic substances for humans, which among other things can lead to the liquefaction of feces.
• Flatulence. The cause of these disorders can be worms in the human body, which trigger inflammatory processes in the course of their life.
• Bowel disease. The parasites living inside a person absorb most of the beneficial nutrients from the body. In addition, worms that parasitize in the human body lead to a malfunction in the well-coordinated functioning of the body. For example, the organs stop properly absorbing fat, causing it to appear in the large intestine, further in the feces, leading to a stool injury.
• Joint and muscle pain. Very often, these painful sensations, which are very similar to those of a person with arthritis, are caused by the fact that the immune system, trying to drive parasites out of the body, causes them to have inflammatory processes that cause the pain.
• Allergy. Often the causes of dermatitis, papillomas, eczema and rashes of all kinds are parasites that have lived in the body for a long time. Allergy is a specific signal to a person. In the body, the immune system, which produces a multitude of eosinophils for protection, causes inflammatory processes that lead to problems in human skin.

• Anemia. This disease, caused by excessive blood loss, can also result from the "activity" of parasites. Trichomonas, which live in the intestinal lining, not only feed on the body's nutrients, but also on blood. Therefore, in an infected person who mainly resides in blood cells, such parasites can cause significant blood loss during mass reproduction.
• Weight problems. Any metabolic failure can be caused by the vital activity of worms. They can both disrupt the metabolism and lead to weight loss or lead to obesity by absorbing most of the glucose.
• Increased irritability and irritability. The vital activity of uninvited guests in the human body cannot go unnoticed by the nervous system. Many parasites release toxins that can also irritate the nervous system. This can lead to depression and frequent irritation.
• Fatigue. A lack of nutrients in humans, caused by the presence of "voracious" worms, can lead to a disorder of the immune system, as a result of which humans lack energy.
• Insomnia. At night, mainly between two and three in the morning, the liver tries to cleanse the body of toxins so that the parasites can escape through the anus at this time. This process causes irritation and insomnia.
• Bruxism (grinding of teeth 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 the worms that live in the child's body.
• Immune disorders. The presence of parasites in the body leads to a weakening of the body's immunity, which uses all its strength in the fight against invaders. In the meantime, any infection can easily get into a weakened human body.
• Respiratory tract. There they can irritate the bronchi and cause a runny nose and cough in a person, which subsequently leads to an increase in body temperature and diseases such as asthma and pneumonia.
• Oncology. Parasites living in human organs for a long time can seriously damage the tissues of internal organs, causing inflammation, slowing down the work of the whole organism and leading to negative consequences.

diagnosis

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

Modern medical procedures are able to detect the presence of intruders in the body in a variety of ways.

Diagnostic options:

1. Stool analysis (must be repeated at least 3 times, with certain periods of time when the analysis is better).
2. Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).
3. Immunoassay tests (ELISA tests).
4. Serological research methods.
5. Ultrasound of the internal organs.
6. Endobiopsy.
7. PCR diagnostics, which can determine the presence of parasites in a person based on the study of DNA analysis.

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

Parasite classification

A full classification is provided below. The class are protozoal (protozoal) microorganisms, this class includes:

1. Dysentery amoeba, which causes diseases such as amebiasis.
2. Intestinal balantidiasis, which causes balantidiasis.
3. Leishmania (leishmaniasis).
4. Giardia (Giardiasis).
5. Plasmodium falciparum (malaria).
6. Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis).
7. Trichomonads (Trichomoniasis).

Class of worms (helminths), these include:

1. Ascaris (Ascariasis).
2. Opisthorchiasis (opisthorchiasis).
3. Pinworms (enterobiasis).
4. Ankystolom (hookworm).
5. Schistosomes (schistosomiasis).
6. Anisakida (anisacidosis).
7. Trichinella (trichinosis).

A class of ectoparasites (that live on the surface of the body), they include:

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

Types of parasites

To roughly imagine the extent of the vital activity of parasites in the human body, let's take a closer look at some of them.

Toksokara - originally this parasite reproduced and lived exclusively in the organs of the digestive system of dogs. However, recent studies have shown that large numbers of people, mainly pet owners, are now carriers of Toxocara.

The length of an adult Toxocara living in an adult organism reaches 30 cm. Toxocara reproduces with the help of eggs that penetrate the dog's feces.

The excrement of a four-legged animal falls into the ground and sand, where Toxocara eggs can be stored for up to several years. From there, parasites invade a person through the soles of shoes, the ground, and the hands of children and touch everything on the ground in a park where dogs go for walks.

Once they have arrived in the human body, the parasites can no longer multiply in the body because the Toxocara larvae mature, spread through the vessels and internal organs, but are not noticeable to the outside world.

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

It's worth noting that if Toxocara gets in the eye, it can be removed! Symptoms in the presence of this parasite in the human body are similar to others.

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

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

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

The length of the roundworm reaches 40 cm and only one female lays around 200, 000 eggs a day. Ascaris, which entered the human body in the form of an egg, grows into a larva, then grows in the intestinal wall, from there it enters the bloodstream, and from there it enters all organs, including the liver, heart, brain.

Ascaris is very dangerous because in the course of its life it can get into any organ, damage it and cause serious diseases. This parasite can successfully colonize a person's blood, causing an infected person to develop anemia or anemia. Symptoms of the presence of this worm in the body are very similar to most.

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

The broad tapeworm is a parasite that grows up to 10 meters inside the human body. Such a worm can live in a person for about 25 years. The tapeworm can get into the body when eating raw fish, crayfish and caviar. It is worth noting that such a large parasite in the body cannot live unnoticed by humans.

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

A characteristic of the tapeworm is the usual leakage of part of the parasite with a person's feces. This usually helps a person who hasn't been paying attention to the symptoms to diagnose the presence of the parasite in the body without testing.

prophylaxis

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

Thoroughly washing food is the key to effective prophylaxis against parasites.

Parasite Infestation Prevention:

1. Observe the basic rules of personal hygiene.
2. Avoid contact with stray animals.
3. Avoid contact of children with infected pets.
4. During a walk, minimize the child's contact with the places where pets go for a walk.
5. Wash hands after outdoors and before every meal.
6. Avoid eating while walking.
7. Frequent wet cleaning of the apartment.
8. Eat only well-washed vegetables and fruits, which are then scalded with boiling water.
9. Only eat meat products after they have been completely heat treated, sufficient to prepare safe meals.
10. Only drink boiled water.
11. If pets are present, take preventive measures at least once every six months.
