More than half of the world's population suffers from parasites. This is due to the fact that in some situations the infection is asymptomatic, but it does not relieve the carrier of pathogenic complications that occur in the human body. In most cases, you can get rid of parasites with folk remedies at home, for this you need to know the types, signs and characteristics of treatment of each pathogen.
Causes
Parasites in the body of the host appear by contact with the external environment. All pathways of disease penetration are divided into 4 main types:
- Food contamination (dirty water or food, unwashed hands).
- Penetration of contacts and household (via pets and other infected people).
- Transmissible injection (due to insect bites).
- Pukut or active infection (penetration of the parasite larva through the skin and mucous membranes in contact with dirty soil or water).
Such a disease can also be contracted through unprotected sexual intercourse, thus trichomonads penetrate the human body.
Types of parasites
All bacteria that live by binding to the human body can be divided into three major groups:
- Protozoa. This group has many varieties, most often you can encounter infection with lamblia, trichomonads and toxoplasmosis. They can appear in various parts of the body.
- Worms (helminths). These include pinworms, roundworm, swine and bovine tapeworms, echinococci and other species. Such parasites develop in the intestines of the patient.
- Ectoparasites like ticks or lice, fleas. It parasitizes on human skin (hairy or open epidermis).
Ectoparasites are the safest, unlike other species. Protozoa and worms can develop in the body of an infected person for months, interfering with the work of internal organs, but without giving special signs of their appearance. Symptoms in worms are often attributed to general weakness or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas. In order to prevent the development of the disease, it is necessary to know the symptoms and signs of the appearance of parasitic "guests" in the body.
Symptoms and signs
The symptoms of different types of pathogenic microorganisms in the body can vary. On average, the following clinical picture can be distinguished:
- frontal headache and irritability;
- weakness, fatigue;
- loss of appetite and nausea, as a result - weight loss;
- bowel dysfunction, pain;
- skin rash;
- increase in body temperature;
- anemia (blanching of the skin and mucous membranes of the body).
Microorganisms live from their host, so the human body works hard and consumes it. As the pathology progresses, the symptoms worsen, so treatment should begin when the first signs are detected.

You can get rid of folk remedies at home using different recipes. Their choice depends on the type of pathogen.
Protozoan microorganisms (protozoa)
