Parasites in the human body

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, which indicates intoxication.

How to get rid of parasites

What are parasites?They are animals, plants or microorganisms that live at the expense of their owner.They feed on their cells or tissues, using vitamins and nutrients that should have been used to build the host's body cells.Parasites also poison the body with substances they release during their vital processes.

In medicine, only multicellular parasites and protozoa are called human parasites, while viruses and bacteria are classified as pathogens.Let's look at what types of parasites exist in the human body, the symptoms of their presence and treatment with folk remedies.

Types of parasites in the human body and where they live

Both protozoa and multicellular parasites can be found in the human body or on its surface.If the parasite lives on the skin, it is called an ectoparasite;this type includes lice, bedbugs, and the causative agent of scabies.Endoparasites are protozoa (giardia, amoeba), helminths (worms, tapeworms) or insect larvae that can live in human organs and tissues.

Each parasite develops in a certain part of the human body, where the conditions for its life are most suitable.Some parasites, depending on their stage of development, migrate (move) throughout the body, from one organ to another.Ectoparasites live on the skin and endogenous parasites can be found in the intestines, muscles, blood, heart, lungs, liver and even in nervous tissues.

A person can become infected with parasites in different ways.This is due to the development cycle of a certain type of parasite.Thus, there are several ways for the parasite to enter the host's body.Through contaminated food and water.Furthermore, in some cases it becomes contaminated during storage and preparation;flies and cockroaches also contribute to this.And sometimes food can be contaminated from the beginning, for example, when poorly processed fish or meat from thermally infected animals is used to cook.

The contact-household route occurs when parasites are transmitted from one person to another, through household items or pets.

Transmissible route, when parasites are transported by blood-sucking insects.

Some parasite larvae, once on human skin, are able to gnaw through it on their own and enter the body.For example, the larva of the human skin fly, which causes dermatobiasis.

Symptoms of infection of the human body with parasites

Symptoms that occur during infection can be varied and are often associated with the location of the parasite.Thus, ectoparasites cause damage to the skin.If the parasite lives in the lungs, the patient may experience coughing and shortness of breath.When parasites are detected in the intestines, digestive disorders, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting and many others occur.

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, which indicates intoxication.Allergic reactions often occur, which leads to dermatitis, skin rashes and even bronchial asthma.

Parasites in the intestinesThey use nutrients from food for their growth and development.Because of this, the human body begins to miss them.This is especially dangerous for children, as their growth slows down and their physical and mental development is hampered.

Parasites adapt well, can live for years in the same organism and their eggs and larvae have significant resistance to the environment.In the digestive organs, to protect themselves, parasites can secrete special substances that inactivate enzymes and disrupt the food digestion process.Therefore, in a patient with parasites in the intestines, the symptoms often resemble diseases of the digestive system.

Why are helminths dangerous?

Helminths are worms, they can be small or reach a length of 7 to 10 meters.Sometimes the development cycle of helminths is such that the person becomes infected again.The first part of the cycle occurs in the intestines, and after repeated infection, the eggs penetrate the muscles, lungs, liver and kidneys.

The most common helminths found in humans are parasites in the intestines, gallbladder, ducts and liver and cause:

• ascariasis, the larvae migrate through the liver to the lungs and again enter the intestine, where the adult individual develops;
• opisthorchiasis, which most often affects the liver, can cause cancer or cirrhosis;
• cestodosis - infection with tapeworms, which occurs due to the consumption of poorly thermally processed meat and fish;
• Tapeworms live a long time and reach enormous sizes.The pork tapeworm is very dangerous, whose eggs penetrate the blood vessels and can migrate to the muscles and brain;
• schistosomiasis, is caused by worms and tapeworms;
• toxocariasis, which is difficult to detect, can affect the eyes and nervous tissues, often causes allergic reactions;
• Echinococcosis - Echinococcus parasitizes the liver and lungs.

There are also less common diseases.They are trichinosis, fascioliasis, enterobiasis, echinostomosis and others.

There are several ways to treat parasites in the human body with folk remedies.Some are used against specific parasites, others help eliminate an entire group of parasitic infections, and some help cleanse organs and systems.Let's take a look at how to get rid of specific parasites from the body using folk remedies.

How to Get Rid of Protozoa and Protozoan Parasites

The most common protozoan parasites are:

• roundworm;
• amoebas, lamblia, blastocysts, balantidia, leishmania and other parasites in the intestine;
• Trypanosomes, pathogens of malaria and babesia are found in the blood;
• in the genitourinary system - Trichomonas, infection occurs through sexual contact;
• in the heart, liver, brain and eyes - toxoplasma (infection most often occurs in cats, affects nervous tissue and causes early miscarriages), trypanosomes, Naegleria Fowler, acanthamoeba.

How to quickly get rid of parasites in the liver and body at home

Parasites, based on medical parasitology, are any creatures that live at the expense of their host.

The exceptions are viruses and bacteria.

Parasites are divided into protozoa and helminths.

Protozoa cause giardiasis, toxoplasmosis, malaria, trichomoniasis and other diseases.Helminths are a source of ascariasis, echinococcosis, enterobiasis and other diseases.

The properties of harmful microorganisms include the following:

• total dependence on the owner;
• threat to human health and normal functioning;
• close connection with the owner for a certain period of time.

Types of parasitic organisms

There are generally two types of parasites found in the human body:

• Roundworms are roundworms up to 40 centimeters long.Adults live in the small intestine and move silently through it;its useful life is one year;
• wide tapeworm - tapeworm or tapeworm.They live in the human intestine and live up to 25 years.

Sometimes giardia, staphylococci, streptococci and pinworms are found.

How does the infection occur?

1. Drinking contaminated tap water.The size of some types of parasites allows them to pass through a common filter.
2. Dirty or unwashed vegetables and fruits (especially exotic ones) contribute to infection.
3. Contact with pets.Infection is possible even if the animal is at a distance of five meters (parasites are transmitted through saliva and air).
4. Blood-sucking insects are carriers of harmful microorganisms.
5. Some types of parasites are transmitted through airborne droplets or handshakes.
6. Contaminated meat products that have not undergone high-quality heat treatment become the cause of infection.
7. The main source of parasites is raw fish.

Symptoms and signs

Parasites spread throughout the body through the circulatory and lymphatic systems.They can be found in any organ.Typically, they accumulate in the intestines, liver, bile ducts and kidneys.

The main signs of the presence of harmful microorganisms in the body include the following:

• intestinal dysfunction - a person suffers from frequent constipation or diarrhea;
• discomfort in the stomach and intestines, possibly bloating and flatulence;
• sharp weight loss, at the same time there is an increase in appetite (sometimes severe obesity occurs);
• decreased immunity;
• a feeling of constant fatigue, anxiety and the person begins to feel depressed;

• yellowing of the whites of the eyes;
• bad breath;
• dizziness;
• bruises under the eyes;
• hair and nails become brittle;
• the patient has skin problems - acne, acne, dermatitis;congestion appears in the corners of the mouth and cracks appear on the heels.

How to recognize

1. It is necessary to have a stool test to detect worm eggs.It is advisable to redo this analysis 2 to 3 times, as the process of elimination of feces may coincide with the time when the parasites have not yet laid eggs.
2. A blood test to check for antibodies that the body produces to kill parasites.This method shows results only in the later stages of the disease.

Preparing for cleaning

A few days before the body is free of parasites, you should switch to a diet that facilitates the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

1. It is necessary to reduce the diet of meat products.
2. Eat more fiber-rich vegetables.
3. Increase the content of greens, dairy products, seeds, seaweed, vegetables and fruits in your diet.It is believed that parasites do not tolerate red and green foods.

Complications and consequences

Parasites negatively affect the host.They gradually poison the body with waste products and reduce human immunity.

After cleaning from harmful microorganisms, the following reactions are possible:

• allergy;
• immunodeficiency;
• decreased hemoglobin levels;
• chronic diseases of organs in which harmful microorganisms are located.

Parasites have a negative impact on the condition of children.

They cause delayed physical and mental development, memory impairment and delayed sexual development.

Who should not be purified?

Parasites cannot be removed at home in the following situations:

• patients with heart disease (history of heart attack, stroke);
• for oncological tumors;
• during exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• patients with acute renal and hepatic failure;
• people suffering from ulcers, gastritis;
• during pregnancy and lactation;
• for colds.

Parasites cause a lot of problems and harm the owner's health.A person can live with harmful microorganisms for many years and not even realize it.
