I'm shocked, my sister found parasites in her skin! Is it contagious? and what to do? How to be now? In short - we need your advice - how to get these things out?
The human body is a rather complex system that actively communicates with the outside world. Over time, various microorganisms, fungi, and even parasites accumulate in the body. According to statistics, almost a third of the earth's population suffers from the presence of parasites without even knowing that they are present in the body.
The general term “parasites” refers to a number of living organisms that have the ability to colonize the human body, attacking any organs and tissues, feeding on cells, juices, or digested food.
Parasites can settle in almost all parts of the body and live there for a long time or until the end of a person's life. Certain types of parasites do not cause negative changes in the body, while others, on the contrary, cause diseases. Actively multiplying, parasites produce toxins, poisoning the human body with the products of their vital activity. Their presence significantly reduces immunity to diseases, weakens the body's defenses.
Parasites actively absorb vitamins and trace elements needed by humans, causing vitamin deficiencies. Forming numerous colonies, they serve as mechanical barriers in the bile ducts, liver, and joints. Parasites damage the lining of the stomach and intestines, causing allergic reactions. Numerous accumulations of helminths can cause degeneration of cells into carcinogens (due to cell isolation).
Parasitic diseases accompanied by the symptoms described above require urgent treatment. According to medical terminology, all pathogenic organisms that parasitize in the human body are parasites. These include bacteria, viruses, fungi, unicellular organisms, arthropods, protozoan invasions and many other species.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body
How do you know that uninvited guests have appeared in your body? They may not manifest or disguise themselves as symptoms of other diseases for years. You can go to doctors for a long time for treatment, but in fact the cause of your illness will be parasites. For example, pinworms can cause pain similar to an acute appendicitis attack, opisthorchiasis parasites cause symptoms similar to an attack of pancreatitis.
The presence of helminths can be determined by stool analysis. However, if the parasite has not yet laid eggs during the examination, its presence will go unnoticed.
A possible infection can be determined even by the appearance of a person, as well as the manifestation of certain diseases. The presence of seborrhea, acne, skin roughness, the appearance of various spots on the face, papillomas, brittle nails, cracked heels - all these signs indicate that the assumption is that the human gastrointestinal tract is infected with lamblia, trichomonas or other protozoa. The infections they cause greatly reduce immunity.
Frequent colds, bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, the presence of polyps, sinusitis are another sign of a parasitic infection.
In women, parasitic infestations lead to pain, painful bleeding, irregular menstrual cycles, and general loss of strength. Fibroids, fibroids, inflammation of the urinary system can occur.
Men can have prostatitis and impotence, adenoma. Kidney stones and sand often form. Disorders of mental development in the third generation can arise from the present infection.
Symptoms of parasite infestation in humansThe most typical symptoms are:
- prison.Some helminths form entire intrigues, blocking the intestines. This leads to imprisonment, surgery may be needed;
- diarrhea.Substances produced by numerous helminths cause abundant intestinal excretion;
- bloating, gas.Often parasites live in the upper small intestine, where gas is created due to constant inflammation. Constant swelling of the abdominal organs signals the presence of infection, these symptoms will appear as long as the parasites live in the body;
- Muscle and joint pain.Parasites can migrate throughout the body and even accumulate in muscles and joints. Pain and inflammation can be caused by red muscle injuries, as well as a reaction of the immune system to the presence of parasites.
How to remove parasites from the body with tablets
All parasites that infect the human body can be divided into 2 groups: internal and external. The first includes helminths, viruses, bacteria, protozoa. For other ears, microscopic mites. The most common helminths are like earthworms, tapeworms, earthworms, broadworms, flukes and others. The group of protozoa includes amoebae, lamblia, Plasmodium malaria and others. The drugs used vary depending on the group.
Treatment of helminthiasis
Helminths are often found in the bodies of children and adults. They are divided into 3 groups:
- roundworms;
- flat (fluffy);
- ribbons.
As a rule, the vast majority of anthelmintic drugs are available in tablet form. The most established are Praziquantel, Levamisole, Mebendazole, Albendazole.
Levamisolehas a strong effect on worms, causing round muscle paralysis. The medicine starts to work a few hours after taking it. After a day, the body begins to get rid of the worms. The advantage of the drug is the ability to restore immunity, which allows its use as a prophylactic agent. Named for:
- ascariasis;
- non-catarrhal disease; toxocariasis;
Contraindications for use are leukemia, renal, hepatic insufficiency, hematopoietic disorders.
Albendazoleis effective against most known helminths. Causing destructive changes in intestinal tissue, disturbances in glucose metabolism and ATP synthesis, leads to worm death. Displayed at:
- cysticercosis; ascariasis; enterobiase; echinococcosis; giardiasis; trichocephaly; toxocariasis;
- opisthorchiasis and other types of helminthiasis.
Contraindication is individual intolerance, retinal diseases, pregnancy, breastfeeding.
The most commonly prescribed drug is Mebendazole. It is used to treat enterobiasis caused by pinworms. The action of this drug is based on the violation of glucose absorption by worms, the main source of nutrition. As a result, the worms die, being excreted from the body within 2-3 days. The drug is effective in mixed helminthiasis. Prescribed for treatment:
- enterobiase;
- ankylosis;
- teniaza; trichocephaly;
- ascariasis.
If there are patients in the family, these tablets can be used for prophylaxis, only 1 tablet is enough. The drug is well tolerated, including children. Admission is contraindicated until the age of 2 years, with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, renal and hepatic failure, pregnancy and lactation. During treatment, mass release of worms is possible, which can cause intestinal obstruction. Taking levamisole is undesirable due to the possibility of intoxication.
Treatment of protozoal diseases (diseases caused by protozoa).
The most famous protozoa are lamblia, amoebae, trichomonads, toxoplasmas. To get rid of them, metronidazole is used which has a complex antimicrobial and antiparasitic action. Its use is shown when available:
- lamblia; trichomonas;
- amebe
It is administered orally, the course is 5-10 days. Efficacy is checked by repeating tests after therapy. Antiparasitic drugs affect the nervous system, so the use of Metronidazole can cause headaches, insomnia, depression, hearing loss, nausea and vomiting.
How to remove parasites from the body at home
Before the process of cleansing the body of parasites present, you should switch to a proper diet, preferably vegetarian. A fasting diet should be provided for 2 weeks, fatty, heavy meals, sugar and refined foods are completely excluded from the diet. Preference is given to fresh fruits and vegetables, freshly squeezed juices. Don't forget the correct drinking regime, drink at least 2 liters of clean drinking water every day.
Eating acidic foods: juices, pickled vegetables and fruits contribute to the creation of an acidic environment in the body, which parasites cannot tolerate. An acidic environment will strengthen the immune system and prevent the arrival of uninvited guests.
Enemas
Enema treatment allows you to effectively fight worms in the gut. The fact is that the helminths form colonies that look like a ball. Because they are in the intestines, they are difficult to treat with tablets, decoctions, or tinctures. In this case, enemas will help.
The most effective enema is the garlic parasite. To do this, about 10 small teeth are mixed into a glass of warm water and then brought inside. For a significant number of parasites, 5-6 cloves of garlic per 2 liters of water are taken, the top is inserted deep to irrigate the whole intestine.
Also apply an enema with baking soda for parasites. Tansy infusion (1 tablespoon at 0, 5 liters) is effective. The soup is boiled for 15 minutes, then cooled and injected.
How to get rid of parasites from the body with folk remedies
The use of a mixture of cognac and castor oil is quite popular. It is mixed in a ratio of 50/50 grams, drunk in the morning on an empty stomach. The mixture works very well on ascaris, because they are quite large.
In alcoholically intoxicated worms, mammals weaken and are expelled from the body with the help of castor oil. The mixture is drunk for 2-3 days, the duration depends on the number of released helminths.
Troichetka
Mix wormwood powder, tansy powder and cloves in a ratio of 30: 100: 50 g.
Drink this powder half an hour before meals, 1st day only in the morning, second day in the afternoon and evening, 3rd day - 3 times a day before meals.
Troichetka has shown itself very well, showing its effectiveness against any helminths and fungi.
Pumpkin seeds
The program includes eating 10 raw pumpkin seeds a day for 10 days in a row. Repeat at least 3 times with a break of 2 weeks.
You can also use seeds pre-ground in a blender. To do this, eat a teaspoon of ground seeds on an empty stomach and drink it with milk.
Worms come out with stool.
