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, every day hundreds of people go to different doctor's offices and cannot find the cause of the disease.

How do parasites enter the body?

Parasites enter human organs in many ways, each of which we constantly encounter in everyday life.

Methods for parasites to enter the body:

1. When eating lightly salted fish or caviar.
2. With lard streaked with meat.
3. With wildlife meat.
4. With undercooked meat.
5. With smoked meat and fish.
6. With herbs, vegetables and fruits, which were poorly washed before use and were not scalded with boiling water.
7. When you walk barefoot on the grass, on a surface fertilized with manure.
8. From pets.
9. Insects like flies can lay eggs.

Signs of parasite infestation

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

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

• Intestinal disorders.
• Prison. It is caused by parasites that have been in humans for a long time and that have reached large sizes, blocking the intestines, thus preventing the stable functioning of the body.
• Diarrhea. Loose stools can also be a sign of parasites in the body. The cause of diarrhea can be a parasite that during life secretes toxic to humans substances that, among other things, can cause liquefaction of feces.
• Flatulence. The cause of these disorders can be worms in the human body that cause inflammatory processes throughout their lives.
• Intestinal diseases. Parasites that live in humans absorb most of the beneficial nutrients from the body. In addition, by parasitizing in the human body, worms lead to a malfunction of the well-coordinated functioning of the body. Thus, for example, the organs stop properly assimilating fat, as a result of which it appears in the colon, further in the feces, leading to stool rupture.
• 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 that are the causes of pain.
• Allergy. Often the causes of dermatitis, papillomas, eczema and all kinds of skin rashes are parasites that have been living in the body for a long time. An allergy is a specific signal to a person. Within the body, the immune system, producing a large number of eosinophilic cells for the purpose of protection, causes inflammatory processes that lead to problems on human skin.

• Anemia. This disease, caused by severe blood loss, can also develop as a result of the "activity" of the parasite. Trichomonas, which live in the intestinal mucosa, feeds not only on nutrients in the body but also on the blood. Therefore, during mass reproduction, such parasites in an infected person, who mainly live in blood cells, can lead to significant blood loss.
• Weight problems. Any metabolic failure can be caused by the vital activity of the worm. Both can disrupt metabolism and cause weight loss or, by consuming most of the glucose, cause excess weight.
• 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 irritate the nervous system as well. This can cause depression and frequent irritations.
• Fatigue. 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 a person lacks energy.
• Insomnia. At night, mostly between two and three o’clock in the morning, the liver tries to cleanse the body of toxins, so at that time parasites can escape through the anus. This process causes irritation and insomnia.
• Bruxism (grinding teeth during sleep) This symptom is common in children. This phenomenon is caused by the reaction of the nervous system to the toxic waste products of worms that live in the child's body.
• Immune disorders. The existence of parasites in the body causes a weakening of the body's immunity which expends all its strength in the fight against intruders. Meanwhile, any infection can easily enter the weakened human body.
• Airways. There, by irritating the bronchi, they can cause a person to have a runny nose and cough, which subsequently leads to a rise in body temperature and diseases such as asthma and pneumonia.
• Oncology. Parasites that live in human organs for a long time manage to seriously damage the tissues of internal organs, which causes inflammation and slows down the work of the whole organism and leads to negative consequences.

Diagnosis

In the 21st century, everything can be diagnosed, including the presence of parasites in humans. Anyone can pass all the necessary tests and accurately determine the presence or absence of flukes in the body.

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

Diagnostic options:

1. Stool analysis (must 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. Immunological tests (ELISA tests).
4. Serological research methods.
5. Ultrasound of internal organs.
6. Endobiopsy.
7. PCR diagnostics that can determine the presence of parasites in a person based on a study of DNA analysis.

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, does not need to be treated on its own.

Classification of parasites

Below is the complete classification. The class are protozoal (protozoan) microorganisms, this class includes:

1. Amoebic dysentery, which causes diseases such as amoebae.
2. Intestinal balantidiasis, causing balantidiasis.
3. Leishmania.
4. Giardia (giardiasis).
5. Plasmodium falciparum (malaria).
6. Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis).
7. Trichomonas (trichomoniasis).

Classes of worms (helminths) include:

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

Classes of ectoparasites (living on the surface of the body) include:

1. Ears (ears).
2. Itching scabies (scabies).
3. Acne mites (demodicosis).

Types of parasites

In order to roughly imagine the extent of the vital activity of parasites in the human body, we will consider some of them in more detail.

Toxocara - in the beginning, this parasite multiplied and lived exclusively in the digestive system of dogs. However, recent research has shown that now a huge number of people, mostly pet owners, are carriers of toxocara.

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

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

Once in the human body, parasites can no longer multiply inside the body because toxocara larvae mature, spread through blood vessels and internal organs, but do not protrude 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 immune tests.

It is worth noting that if the toxocara enters 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 herbs, dirty hands, dust, and can be carried by flies.

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

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

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

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

Ascaris can be diagnosed by examining feces at least 3 times, as well as by immunological tests during the larval period.

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

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

The characteristic of tapeworm is the exit in the usual way with the feces of a person from the parasite. This is what usually helps a person who has not paid attention to the symptoms to diagnose the presence of parasites in the body without tests.

Prophylaxis

By observing the simple basics of prevention, you can minimize the chances of an uninvited guest appearing in your body and your child’s body.

Thorough food washing is the key to successful parasite prophylaxis.

Prevention of parasite infection:

1. Follow the basic rules of personal hygiene.
2. Remove contact with strays.
3. Avoid contact of children with infected pets.
4. Reduce your child's contact while walking with places where pets walk.
5. Wash your hands after going outdoors and before each meal.
6. Avoid eating while walking.
7. Frequent wet cleaning of the apartment.
8. Eat only well-washed vegetables and fruits, then scalded with boiling water.
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, take preventive measures.
