How to determine the presence of parasites in the human body.

Parasites are the simplest organisms that live from humans. They use cells, vitamins, substances, tissues for nutrition - everything that is good for our health.

In addition, parasites are known to poison the body by releasing harmful substances. Consider in more detail the symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body, their habitat, how to get rid of them and preventive measures against their appearance.

Damage from parasites in the body

First of all, the working ability of the organs is disturbed, namely, inflammation occurs which destroys the tissues. Often these foreign beings produce toxins that over time contribute to the poisoning of the whole organism.

Microorganisms that live in the gut feed on nutrients that enter the stomach along with food. As a result, the first symptom of the presence of parasites in the body occurs: a person has a growth retardation, as well as a violation of mental and physical development.

Parasites have the ability to live for years, and eggs with larvae are very resistant to the surrounding microflora.For example, in the digestive system, for their own defense, they release substances that inactivate enzymes that process food during metabolism.

After that, the digestive processes are interrupted. Therefore, sometimes the symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body are often reminiscent of gastrointestinal diseases.

Common parasites

The most common human parasites are:

• ears- the bite of these arthropods first irritates the skin and then turns into eczema or purulent lesions;
• pinworms- small round worms with white color, which cause a disease like enterobiasis;
• roundwormsare parasitic worms, whose vital activity occurs in the intestinal tract. The length of the male sexually mature individual reaches 24 cm, and the female as much as 40 cm;
• whip- ranks 3rd in the incidence of the disease. Infection with this parasite causes a disease - trichocephaly. The female of this parasite is large, reaching 5, 5 cm, the male is slightly smaller - from 4 to 5 cm;
• Giardia- live in two formations: vegetative and slow form. In the first case, their vital activity takes place in the upper part of the small intestine, in the second - in the large intestine;
• feline fluke- affects the liver and provokes opisthorchiasis;

• Trichinella- roundworms. Cause of helminthic invasion;
• toxocara- similar to a roundworm, only the diameter of the larva is 0, 02 mm;
• intestinal acne- filamentous parasite up to 2 mm long;
• nekator- Toothworm larvae enter the body through the pores of the legs as they walk barefoot. Their pathway begins in the right atrium and ends in the pulmonary artery. By breaking the walls of the capillaries, they enter the alveoli, and from there through the respiratory tract into the pharynx.

Pathways of Infection

You can get infected in different ways. Each of them is associated with the developmental cycle of a particular parasite. However, in medicine there are 3 main sources of infection:

1. Through food and water.However, contamination often occurs due to improper storage and preparation. But sometimes there is an initial infection, that is, when the product infected with parasites has undergone poor heat treatment;
2. Contact household method.In this case, the infection is transmitted from another person or pet;
3. Through blood-sucking insects.This time is also known as transmission;
4. Through communication with pets,walking down the street.

There are larvae capable of entering the human body on their own. The symptom of the presence of parasites of this form is the disease dermatobia. In this case, the larva finds itself on the skin, bites itself and ends up in the body of the host.

Signs of parasite presence

We suggest you consider 10 main features:

1. Prison.The organs of the digestive system can be blocked because the large size of the worm interferes with the normal flow of peristalsis or secretions. Abundance of them closes the ducts (bile and intestines), thus complicating the process of emptying the intestines.
2. Diarrhea.There are parasitic living organisms that produce hormone-like substances that cause watery bowel movements.

3. Flatulence, gasis another factor in the presence of worms. If you do not pay attention to the periodic bloating, then the symptom of the presence of parasites will appear in the human body of varying intensity and for several months and sometimes years.
4. Irritable bowel syndrome.Parasites can not only irritate but also cause inflammation. As a result, it leads to a decrease in the rate of assimilation of substances.

5. Pain in muscle tissues and joints.To find the most comfortable environment, some microorganisms move around the body. They more often choose muscles or joint fluid. Thus, a person experiences pain and often attributes the symptom to the effects of arthritis. Also, the symptom is considered to be the result of a worm injury in the muscle tissue.
6. Allergy.Toxins often increase the dose of eosinophil production. This substance inflames tissues and causes allergies.
7. Skin problems.Often worms cause rash, eczema, urticaria. Their presence also results in skin ulcers, dermatitis, swelling and papillomas. When the gastrointestinal tract is infected, the face is covered with early wrinkles, baldness appears, cracks are visible on the heels, and the nails become brittle.
8. Anemia.As mentioned earlier, parasites suck up all the nutrients, and a large amount of them causes blood loss. As a result, the body lacks iron.
9. Overweight.The symptom is associated with the defeat of the body by tapeworms, meaning one thing: the protective reaction of the human body due to poisoning by products that contribute to the vital activity of the parasite.
10. Nervousness.Toxins produced by microorganisms irritate the central nervous system. As a result, the person develops depression, increased anxiety and nervousness.

Pay attention! Diarrhea and constipation are not only the consequences of malnutrition, but also the first symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body.

How to recognize by appearance

According to the place of their vital activity, parasites are divided into 2 types:

1. Endoparasites(worms, lamblia, echinococci, etc. ) - those who live inside;
2. Ectoparasites,living outside (lice, fleas, bed bugs).

Ectoparasite infestation is easy to identify by its appearance. A rash appears on the body, followed by itching, redness and burning. Small wounds (penetration sites) often remain at the site of his bite.

Determining endoparasite infection is more difficult because they live inside the body. These parasites have learned to adapt to their host's body during evolution. Studies have shown that sometimes months, and even decades, pass from the moment of infection to the appearance of primary symptoms.

How to diagnose the disease

The diagnosis of invasion is possible using the following symptoms:

• pale skin;
• gastrointestinal problems;
• lesion of the upper layer of the dermis;
• cosmetic problems;
• weight jumps;
• occurrence of chronic fatigue syndrome;
• regular headaches;
• grinding teeth during sleep;
• swelling of limbs;
• joint and muscle pain;
• central nervous system disorder;
• itching in the perineum and anus.

Is treatment always necessary

When infected, the human body weakens, becomes allergic and is poisoned by toxins. Of course, no rapid development of these symptoms is seen, but lack of treatment often causes serious health problems.

Pharmacy drugs

The most effective drugs include the following drugs:

• for ascariasis: piperazine adipate and pyrantel;
• for enterobiase: mebendazole;
• of paragonimiasis, schistosomiasis, opisthorchiasis,
• for echinococcus: mebendazole;
• of beef tapeworm: praziquantel.

Popular folk remedies

In addition to garlic and white pumpkin seeds, as the three most useful products to resist parasite infestation, nature has also created 3 plants that can cleanse the human body when the first symptoms of parasite infestation appear: cloves, walnuts and wormwood.

Cleansing the body of enterobionates with walnuts.In the green rind of 15 walnuts pour 0, 5 liters of vodka and put in a dark place for a month. Take within 5 days, after dissolving one drop of tincture in 0, 1 liter of water. Then increase the dosage to 2 -2, 5 tsp. and taken 2 times a day throughout the year.

Purification with the medicinal plant wormwood.Grind dried plant seeds. Reception should start with one pinch. By the 15th day of receiving the dose should reach 1, 5 hours, and then take 0, 5 teaspoons daily. Finally, use the same dose only once a week.

Cleansing the body with clove seeds.Grind the seeds into a powder state. You need to start with 1, 5 teaspoons, gradually reducing the dose to one tablespoon. The course of admission is 10 days.

Infection Prevention

Once the parasite enters our body, it passes through 3 environments:

1. Alkaline (oral cavity);
2. acidic (stomach);
3. Alkaline (bile).

If everything is fine with each barrier, then you will not be afraid of any parasites. Even if it is already in the body, it will be excreted naturally. But when at least one obstacle is violated, it signals a violation of the entire system.

First,to prevent infection, it is necessary to regularly observe the hygiene of hands and the whole body, arrange the oral cavity: cure diseased teeth, bleeding gums, stomatitis, get rid of unpleasant odors.

Second, establish a drinking regimenand follow a proper diet.

Third, eliminate bile stagnation.

And, of course, for the prevention of parasitic diseases, do not forget the general rules of hygiene.
