Parasites are considered organisms that live on or within the human body and compete with human host cells for nutrients.Types of parasites vary in size from microscopic amoebas to large intestinal worms.
Ectoparasites are found on the external surfaces of the human body, while endoparasites live in the internal tissues and organs of the human body.
A parasite is known as an organism that obtains nutrition by feeding on or within another animal.The types of human parasites are divided into intestinal and blood parasites.
All types of parasites can be transmitted in the following ways:
- from animals to people;
- from person to person;
- from people to animals.
These organisms are capable of living and reproducing in the organs and tissues of infected humans and animal hosts.They are often excreted in feces.
Some parasites can be present in food or water and have become significant causes of waterborne and foodborne illnesses.Thus, parasites are now frequently identified as causes of foodborne illnesses, ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating illness and possibly death (in the most serious cases).
Parasites are known to be transmitted from host to host through ingestion of contaminated food and water and/or by placing anything in the mouth that has touched the feces of an infected person or animal.
All types of parasites vary in size, from small single-celled organisms (called protozoa) to larger multicellular worms (called helminths) that can be seen with the naked eye.
According to modern medical practice, helminths cannot reproduce in the human body and eventually disappear without infecting the person again.Protozoa have only one cell and can reproduce inside the human body.
Parasites can also be divided into the following types of parasites:
- Obligate parasites that can only survive in the host's body and that is why they pass directly from one host to another.This process can involve complex life cycles.This type of parasite includes Trichomonas and Trichinella.
- Temporary parasites that spend only part of their life as parasites and the other part as free-living organisms.
- Free parasites, which are generally free-living organisms capable of accidentally infecting a host.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites
It must be recognized that there are several distinct symptoms experienced by people affected by parasites.They include:
- gas formation and bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome;
- sleep problems;
- skin diseases;
- allergies;
- joint and muscle pain;
- nervousness, granulomas, chronic fatigue;
- anemia;
- grinding of teeth;
- immune system problems.
According to recent North American and European studies, different types of parasites have been found in the bodies of all these people suffering from various chronic diseases.
A course of using a colloidal medicine can provide effective assistance in the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections.Its action extends to different types of parasites, from protozoa to helminths, and the medicine also helps to eliminate unpleasant symptoms caused by parasites.The recommended treatment and prophylactic course is 1 month.
