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 their illness.

How do parasites get into the body?

Parasites enter human organs in several ways, which we encounter all the time in everyday life.

Methods for the entry of parasites into the body:

1. When eating lightly salted fish or caviar.
2. With lard streaked with meat.
3. With meat from wild animals.
4. With undercooked meat.
5. With smoked meat and fish.
6. With herbs, vegetables and fruits, which have been improperly washed before use and not scalded with boiling water.
7. By walking barefoot on the grass, on the area fertilized with manure.
8. Pets.
9. Insects such as flies can carry eggs.

Signs of a parasite infestation

After studying how parasites enter the human body, almost everyone on the planet ends up in the so-called risk zone.

However, there are some symptoms, the presence of which can mean that a parasite is living inside the human body:

• Intestinal disorders.
• Constipation. It is caused by parasites that have been present in a person for a long time and have grown to a large size, 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, which secretes substances toxic to humans during their lifetime, which, among other things, can cause liquefaction of feces.
• Flatulence. The cause of these disorders can be worms in the human body, which cause inflammatory processes in their lifetime.
• Bowel disease. Parasites living inside a person absorb most of the beneficial nutrients from the body. In addition, parasitizing inside the human body, worms cause a dysfunction in the well-coordinated functioning of the organism. So, for example, the organs stop correctly assimilating fat, as a result of which it appears in the large intestine, further in the stool, which leads to a violation of the stool.
• 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 the parasites from the body, provokes in them inflammatory processes, which are due to theorigin of the pain.
• Allergy. The causes of dermatitis, papillomas, eczema and all kinds of rashes are often parasites that have lived in the body for a long time. Allergy is a certain signal for a person. Inside the body, the immune system, producing a large number of eosinophils for protection, causes inflammatory processes that lead to human skin problems.
• Anemia. This disease, caused by heavy blood loss, can also develop as a result of the "activity" of the parasites. Trichomonas, living in the intestinal lining, feeds not only on nutrients from the body, but also from the blood. That is why, during mass reproduction, such parasites in an infected person, living mainly in blood cells, can lead to significant blood loss.
• Weight problems. Any metabolic failure can be caused by the vital activity of worms. They can both disrupt metabolism and lead to weight loss or, by consuming most of the glucose, lead to excess weight.
• Irritability and irritability increased. The vital activity of unwanted hosts in the human body cannot go unnoticed by the nervous system. Many parasites release toxins that can also irritate the nervous system. This can cause depression and frequent irritation.
• Tired. Lack of nutrients in humans, caused by the presence of "gluttonous" worms, can lead to disruption of the immune system, causing the person to lack energy.
• Insomnia. At night, mainly between two and three in the morning, the liver tries to cleanse the body of toxins, so that at this time the parasites can escape through the anus. This process causes irritation and insomnia.
• Bruxism (teeth grinding during sleep). This symptom is common in children. This phenomenon is caused by the nervous system's reaction to toxic waste from the 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 a weakened human body.
• Airway. There, by irritating the bronchi, they can cause a runny nose and cough in a person, which subsequently leads to an increase in body temperature and diseases such as asthma and pneumonia.
• Oncology. Parasites that live in human organs for a long time manage to cause serious damage to the tissues of internal organs, which causes inflammation and slows down the work of the whole organism and leads to negative consequences.

Diagnostic

In the 21st century, anything can be diagnosed, including the presence of parasites inside a person. Anyone can take all the necessary tests and accurately establish the presence or absence of a fluke in the body.

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

Diagnostic possibilities:

1. Stool analysis (it should be repeated at least 3 times, while there are certain times when it is better to do the analysis).
2. Enzyme Immunoassay (ELISA).
3. Immunoassay tests (ELISA tests).
4. Methods of serological research.
5. Ultrasound of internal organs.
6. Endobiopsy.
7. PCR diagnosis that can establish the presence of parasites in a person based on the study of DNA analysis.

It should be noted that the treatment of parasitic diseases should be carried out strictly under the supervision of a doctor who will prescribe treatment. This type of disease, and others, should not be treated on its own.

Classification of parasites

Below is a full ranking. The class consists of protozoan microorganisms (protozoa), this class includes:

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

Class of worms (helminths), these include:

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

A class of ectoparasites (living on the surface of the body), these include:

1. Pou (head lice).
2. Itchy scabies (scabies).
3. Acne mite (demodicosis).

Types of parasites

In order to roughly imagine the extent of the vital activity of parasites in the human body, let's take a closer look at some of them.

Toksokara - initially this parasite multiplied and lived exclusively in the organs of the digestive system of dogs. However, recent studies have shown that a large number of people, mainly pet owners, are carriers of toxocara.

The length of an adult toxocara, living inside an adult organism, reaches 30 cm. Toxocara reproduces using eggs that enter the dog's 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, parasites enter a person through the soles of shoes, the ground, and children's hands touching everything on the ground in a park where dogs are walked.

Once in the human body, the parasites are no longer able to multiply further inside the body, as the toxocara larvae mature, spread through the vessels and internal organs, but are indistinguishable from theoutside.

To diagnose the presence of this parasite in a person, it is necessary to have a biopsy of the affected organs (usually the liver) and immunological tests.

It is worth noting that if the toxocara gets into the eyes, it can be removed! The symptoms of 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 around hundreds of millions of people every year.

Roundworms at an early stage of infection can cause allergic reactions.

The length of the roundworm reaches 40 cm, and a single female releases about 200, 000 eggs per day. In addition, roundworms, having entered the human body in the form of an egg, turn into a larva, then develop in the intestinal wall, from there they enter the bloodstream, and from there they enter allorgans, including liver, heart, brain.

Roundworm is very dangerous, because in the course of its life it can be found in any organ, damage it and cause serious diseases. This parasite can successfully inhabit a person's blood, as a result of which an infected person can develop anemia or anemia. Symptoms of the presence of this worm in the body are similar to most.

Ascaris can be diagnosed with the help of fecal studies at least 3 times, as well as with the help of immunological tests during the larval period.

The broad tapeworm is a parasite that grows up to 10 meters inside the human body. Such a worm can live inside a person for about 25 years. Tapeworm can enter the body by eating raw fish, crayfish, and caviar. It should be noted that such a large parasite in the body cannot go unnoticed by humans.

The signs of its presence are quite obvious, among which are active salivation, mainly in the morning, anemia, exhaustion, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, weakness, lethargy and drowsiness.

A feature of the tapeworm is the release in the usual way with the feces of a person of part of the parasite. This is what, as a rule, helps a person who has not paid attention to the symptoms to diagnose the presence of the parasite in the body without testing.

Prophylaxis

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

Thorough washing of food is the key to effective parasite prophylaxis.

Prevention of parasite infestation:

1. Observe the basic rules of personal hygiene.
2. Eliminate contact with stray animals.
3. Avoid contact of children with infected animals.
4. Minimize the contact of the child during a walk with places where pets roam.
5. Wash hands after outside and before each meal.
6. Avoid eating while walking.
7. Frequent wet cleaning of the apartment.
8. Eat only vegetables and fruits that are well washed and then scalded with boiling water.
9. Eat meat products only after complete heat treatment, sufficient to prepare safe meals.
10. Drink only boiled water.
11. In the presence of pets, at least once every six months, carry out preventive measures.
