Parasites in the human body

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

How to get rid of parasites

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

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

Types of parasites in the human body and where they live

Both protozoan and multicellular parasites can be found in or on the human body.If the parasite lives on the skin, it is called an ectoparasite;this type includes lice, bed bugs and the causative agent of scabies.Endoparasites are protozoa (giardia, amoeba), helminths (worms, worms) 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 the stage of development, migrate (move) throughout the body from one organ to another.Ectoparasites live on the skin, and endogenous 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.So there are several ways for the parasite to enter the host's body.Through contaminated food and water.Moreover, 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 very beginning, for example, when undercooked fish or meat from infected animals is used for cooking.

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

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

Some parasite larvae, when found on human skin, are able to bite through it themselves and enter the body.For example, the larva of the human skin roach, which causes dermatobiosis.

Symptoms of infection of the human body with parasites

The symptoms that occur during infection can be different, they are often related to the location of the parasite.So, ectoparasites damage 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, headache, insomnia, which indicates intoxication.Allergic reactions often occur, leading to dermatitis, skin rashes, and even bronchial asthma.

Intestinal parasitesThey use nutrients from food for their growth and development.Therefore, the human body begins to feel the lack of them.This is especially dangerous for children, because their growth slows down, and their physical and mental development is impaired.

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

Why are helminths dangerous?

Helminths are worms, they can be small in size or reach a length of 7-10 meters.Sometimes the cycle of development of helminths is such that a person becomes infected with them again.The first part of the cycle takes place 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, gall bladder, ducts and liver and cause:

• ascariasis, larvae migrate through the liver to the lungs and enter the intestines again, where the adult develops;
• opisthorchiasis, most often affecting the liver, can lead to cancer or cirrhosis;
• cestodosis - infection with tapeworms, which is caused by the consumption of poorly processed meat and fish;
• Tapeworms live a long time and reach enormous sizes.The pork tapeworm is very dangerous, the eggs of which penetrate the blood vessels and can migrate to the muscles and brain;
• schistosomiasis, caused by fluke parasites and flatworms;
• toxocarosis, which is difficult to detect, can affect the eyes and nervous tissue, often causing allergic reactions;
• Echinococcosis - Echinococcus parasitizes the liver and lungs.

There are also diseases that are less common.These are trichinosis, fascioliosis, enterobiosis, echinostomosis and others.

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

• 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 nerve tissue and causes early abortion), trypanosomes, Naegleria Fowler, acanthamoeba.

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

Parasites, according to medical parasitology, are all creatures that live at the expense of their host.

Exceptions are viruses and bacteria.

Parasites are divided into protozoa and helminths.

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

Properties of harmful microorganisms include the following:

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

Types of parasitic organisms

Two types of parasites are usually found in the human body:

• roundworms are roundworms up to 40 centimeters long.Adults live in the small intestine and move silently through it;their lifespan is one year;
• broad tapeworm - tapeworm or tapeworm.They live in human intestines and live up to 25 years.

Giardia, staphylococci, streptococci and pinworms can sometimes be found.

How does the infection occur?

1. Drinking contaminated tap water.The size of some types of parasites allows them to pass through an ordinary filter.
2. Dirty or unwashed vegetables and fruits (primarily exotic) contribute to infection.
3. Contact with pets.Infection is possible even if the animal is at a distance of five meters (parasites are transmitted by saliva and air).
4. Blood-sucking insects are carriers of harmful microorganisms.
5. Some types of parasites are transmitted by airborne droplets or by handling.
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.They usually accumulate in the intestines, liver, bile ducts and kidneys.

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

• bowel dysfunction - the person suffers from frequent constipation or diarrhea;
• discomfort in the stomach and intestines, possible flatulence and flatulence;
• sharp weight loss, appetite increases at the same time (sometimes severe obesity occurs);

• 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, dermatosis, dermatitis;stoppages appear at the corners of the lips and cracks at the heels.

How to recognize

1. To detect the eggs of worms, it is necessary to perform a stool test.It is recommended to repeat this analysis 2-3 times, because the process of excretion of feces may coincide with the moment 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 gives results only in the later stages of the disease.

Preparation for cleaning

A few days before the body gets rid of parasites, you should switch to a diet that will facilitate the work 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 cannot tolerate red and green food.
