Parasites that live on 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 doctors' offices and cannot find the cause of their illness.

How do parasites enter the body?

Parasites penetrate human organs in many ways, each of which we encounter in everyday life all the time.

Methods for entry of parasites into the body:

  • When eating caviar or slightly salted fish.
  • With lard with stripes of meat.
  • With meat from wild animals.
  • With undercooked meat.
  • With smoked meat and fish.
  • With herbs, vegetables and fruits poorly washed before use and not scalded with boiling water.
  • When walking barefoot on the grass, in the area fertilized with manure.
  • From pets.
  • Insects like flies can carry eggs.
  • sleeping with a cat as a cause of parasite infestation

    Signs of a Parasite Infestation

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

    However, there are some symptoms, the presence of which could mean that a parasite lives inside the human body:

    • Intestinal disorders.
    • Constipation. It is caused by parasites that have been on a person for a long time and have grown to large sizes, blocking the intestines, 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 toxic substances to the man during his life, which, among other things, can cause the liquefaction of the feces.
    • Flatulence. The cause of these disorders can be worms in the human body, which cause inflammatory processes throughout your life.
    • Intestinal disease. Parasites that live inside a person absorb most of the body's beneficial nutrients. Furthermore, by parasitizing inside the human body, worms lead to a malfunction in the well-coordinated functioning of the body. Thus, for example, the organs fail to properly assimilate fat, which causes it to appear in the large intestine, later in the feces, which leads to the violation of the feces.
    • Joint and muscle pain. 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, triggers inflammatory processes in them, which are the causes of pain.
    • Allergy. Often the causes of dermatitis, papillomas, eczema and all kinds of skin rashes are parasites that have lived in the body for a long time. Allergy is a sure sign for a person. Inside the body, the immune system, producing a large number of eosinophil cells for the purpose of protection, causes inflammatory processes, which lead to problems in the human skin.

    • Anemia. This disease, caused by a great deal of blood loss, can also develop as a result of the "activity" of the parasites. Trichomonas, which live in the intestinal mucosa, feed not only on body nutrients, but also on blood. That's why, during mass reproduction, these parasites in an infected person, living primarily in blood cells, can lead to significant blood loss.
    • Weight problems. Any metabolic failure can be caused by the vital activity of the worms. They 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 unwanted guests 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.
    • Fatigue. The lack of nutrients in humans, caused by the presence of "glutton" worms, can lead to dysregulation of the immune system, resulting in a person's lack of energy.
    • Insomnia. At night, especially between two and three in the morning, the liver tries to cleanse the body of toxins, so that at that time the parasites can escape through the anus. This process causes irritation and insomnia.
    • Bruxism (grinding of teeth during sleep). This symptom is common in children. This phenomenon is caused by the nervous system's reaction to the toxic residues of the worms that live in the child's body.
    • Immunological disorders. The existence of parasites in the body causes a weakening of the body's immunity, which spends all its strength in fighting intruders. In the meantime, any infection can easily enter a weakened human body.
    • Airways. There, irritating the bronchi, they can cause rhinorrhea and cough in the person, which later 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 can cause serious damage to the tissues of Organs internal organs, which causes inflammation and slows down the work of the entire organism and leads to negative consequences.

    Diagnosis

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

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

    Diagnostic Options:

  • Stool analysis (must be repeated at least 3 times as long as there are certain time periods when it is best to do the analysis).
  • Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
  • Immunoassay tests (ELISA tests).
  • Serological research methods.
  • Ultrasound of internal organs.
  • Endobiopsy.
  • PCR diagnoses 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 must be carried out strictly under the supervision of a physician who will prescribe a course of treatment. This type of disease, along with others, should not be treated in isolation.

    Parasite Classification

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

  • Amoeba dysentery, which causes diseases such as amoebiasis.
  • Intestinal balantidiasis, causing balantidiasis.
  • Leishmania (leishmaniasis).
  • Giardia (giardiasis).
  • Plasmodium falciparum (malaria).
  • Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis).
  • Trichomonas (trichomoniasis).
  • Class of worms (helminths), which include:

  • Ascaris (ascariasis).

    Types of parasites

    To roughly imagine the scale of parasites' vital activity in the human body, let's take a look at some of them.

    Toksokara - initially this parasite multiplied and lived exclusively in the organs of the dog's digestive system. However, recent studies have shown that a large number of people, especially pet owners, now carry toxocara.

    The length of an adult toxocara, living inside an adult organism, reaches 30 cm. Toxocara reproduces with the help of eggs that penetrate the dog's feces.

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

    Once in the human body, the parasites can no longer multiply inside the body, as the toxocara larvae mature, spread through vessels and internal organs, but do not stand out on the outside.

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

    It is important to note that if toxocara enters the eye, 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 about hundreds of millions of people every year.

    human body roundworm

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

    The roundworm length reaches 40 cm, and only one female releases about 200, 000 eggs a day. Furthermore, ascaris, having entered the human body in the form of an egg, transforms into a larva, then grows in the intestinal wall, from there it enters the bloodstream and from there it enters any organ, including the liver, heart, brain.

    Ascaris is very dangerous, as it can end up in any organ in the course of its life, damaging it and causing serious illnesses. This parasite can successfully inhabit a person's blood, and as a result the 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 with the help of stool studies at least 3 times, as well as with the help of immunological tests in the larval period.

    The wide tapeworm is a parasite that grows up to 10 meters inside the human body. This worm can live inside a person for about 25 years. Tapeworms can enter the body by eating raw fish, crayfish and caviar. It is important to note that such a large parasite in the body cannot go unnoticed by humans.

    The signs of its presence are quite evident, including active salivation, especially in the morning, anemia, tiredness, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, weakness, lethargy and drowsiness.

    A feature of the tapeworm is the release of a part of the parasite in the usual way with a person's feces. It 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 undergoing tests.

    Prophylaxis

    By following basic prevention principles, you can minimize the chances of an unwanted guest appearing on your body and your child's body.

    Careful washing of food is the key to successful prophylaxis against parasites.

    Prevention of parasite infestation:

  • Observe basic personal hygiene rules.
  • Eliminate contact with stray animals.
  • Avoid contact of children with infected animals.
  • Minimize the child's contact during a walk with the places where the animals pass.
  • Wash your hands outdoors and before each meal.
  • Avoid eating while walking.
  • Frequent wet cleaning of the apartment.
  • Eat only well-washed vegetables and fruits, blanched in boiling water afterward.
  • Eat meat products only after complete heat treatment, enough to prepare safe meals.
  • Drink only boiled water.
  • In the presence of pets, at least once every six months, take preventative measures.
