Parasites are considered organisms that live on or inside the human body and compete with human host cells for nutrients.Parasite types 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 food by feeding on or inside another animal.Types of human parasites are divided into intestinal and blood parasites.
All types of parasites can be transmitted in different ways:
- from animals to people;
- from person to person;
- from people to animals.
These organisms can live and multiply in the organs and tissues of infected human and animal hosts.They are often excreted in feces.
Some parasites can be present in food or water and have become significant causes of water-borne and food-borne diseases.Therefore, parasites are now often identified as the cause of foodborne illness, ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating illness and possible death (in the most severe cases).
Parasites are known to be transmitted from host to host by swallowing contaminated water and food and/or putting into the mouth anything that has touched the feces of an infected person or animal.
All types of parasites range in size from single-celled, tiny 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 re-infecting the person.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 therefore pass directly from one host to another.The above process can include complex life cycles.This type of parasite includes Trichomonas and Trichinella.
- Temporary parasites that spend only part of their lives as parasites and the other part as free-living organisms.
- Free parasites, which are usually free-living organisms that can accidentally infect a host.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites
It must be recognized that there are a number of different 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 colloidal medicine can provide effective help in the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections.Its action extends to many types of parasites, from protozoa to helminths, and the drug also helps to get rid of unpleasant symptoms caused by parasites.The recommended treatment and prophylactic course is 1 month.
