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

Parasites are the simplest organisms that live on human beings. For food they use cells, vitamins, substances, tissues, everything that is for the benefit of our health.

Furthermore, parasites are known to poison the body by releasing harmful substances. Let's 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.

Parasite damage in the body

First of all, the working capacity of organs is disrupted, that is, inflammation occurs that destroys tissues. Often these alien creatures produce toxins, which over time contribute to the poisoning of the whole organism.

Microorganisms living in the intestine feed on nutrients that enter the stomach along with food. As a result, the first symptom of the presence of a parasite in the body arises - a person has a slowdown in growth, as well as a violation of mental and physical development.

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

Subsequently, the digestion processes are interrupted. Therefore, sometimes the symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body often resemble gastrointestinal diseases.

Common parasites

The most common human parasites are the following:

• lice- the bite of these arthropods first irritates the skin and then turns into eczema or purulent lesions;
• pinworms- small round worms with a white tint, which cause a disease such as enterobiasis;
• nematodesare parasitic worms, the vital activity of which occurs in the intestinal tract. The length of the sexually mature male reaches 24 cm, the female up to 40 cm;
• whipworm- ranks 3rd in terms of disease frequency. Infection with this parasite causes a disease: trichocephalosis. The female of this pest is large, reaches 5. 5 cm, the male is slightly smaller - from 4 to 5 cm;
• Giardia- lives in two formations: vegetative and spore forms. In the first case, their vital activity takes place in the upper part of the small intestine, in the second - in the large intestine;
• cat fluke- affects the liver and causes the onset of opisthorchiasis;

• Trichinella- round worms. Causes the Helminthic Invasion;
• toxocara- similar to the nematode, only the diameter of the larva is 0. 02 mm;
• intestinal acne- a filamentous parasite up to 2 mm long;
• nekator- tooth worm larvae enter the body through the pores of the legs while walking barefoot. Their path begins with the right atrium and ends with the pulmonary artery. Breaking the walls of the capillaries, they enter the alveoli and from there through the respiratory tract into the pharynx.

Paths of Infection

You can get infected in several ways. Each of them is associated with the development 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 a parasite-infected product has undergone poor heat treatment;
2. Through the method of domestic contact.In this case, the infection is transmitted from another person or pet;
3. Through blood-sucking insects.This path is also known as transmission;
4. Through communication with pets,walking on the street.

There are larvae capable of independently entering the human body. A symptom of the presence of a parasite of this form is the disease of dermatobiasis. In this case, the larva gets to the skin, gnaws it on its own and ends up inside the host's body.

Signs of the presence of parasites

We suggest to consider 10 main features:

1. Constipation.Blockage of the digestive organs can occur because the large size of the worms interferes with the normal course of peristalsis or secretions. An abundance of them closes the ducts (bile and bowel), thereby complicating the bowel movement process.
2. Diarrhea.There are parasitic living organisms that produce hormone-like substances that cause watery bowel movements.

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

5. Pain in muscle tissues and joints.To find the most comfortable environment, some microorganisms move around the body. Most often they choose muscles or joint fluid. Therefore, a person experiences pain and often attributes the symptom to the effects of arthritis. Also, the symptom is considered to be the result of injury to the muscle tissue worms.
6. Allergy. Toxins often increase the dose of eosinophil production. It is this substance that inflames the tissues and causes allergies.
7. Skin problems.Worms often cause skin rashes, eczema, hives. Their presence also causes skin ulcers, dermatitis, swellings and papillomas. When the gastrointestinal tract is infected, the face becomes covered with premature wrinkles, baldness appears, cracks in the heels are visible, and the nails become brittle.
8. Anemia.As mentioned above, parasites absorb all 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 the tapeworm, it means one thing - a protective reaction of the human body due to poisoning with products that contribute to the vital activity of parasites.
10. Nervousness.The toxins produced by microorganisms irritate the central nervous system. As a result, a person develops depression, increased anxiety and nervousness.

Be careful! 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 identify by appearance

Depending on the place of their vital activity, parasites are divided into 2 types:

1. Endoparasites(worms, lamblia, echinococcus, etc. ) - those that live inside;
2. Ectoparasitesliving outdoors (lice, fleas, bedbugs).

Ectoparasite infestation can be easily identified by appearance. A rash appears on the body, accompanied by itching, redness and burning. Often small wounds (penetration sites) remain at the site of its bite.

Determining endoparasite infestation 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 it sometimes takes months, or even decades, from the time of infection to the onset of primary symptoms.

How to diagnose a disease

Diagnosis of invasion is possible based on the following symptoms:

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

Treatment is always necessary

When infected, the human body weakens, becomes allergic and is poisoned by toxins. Of course, the lightning-fast development of these symptoms is not observed, but the lack of treatment often causes serious health problems.

Medicines in pharmacies

The most effective drugs include the following drugs:

• for ascariasis: piperazine adipata and pyrantel;
• for enterobiasis: mebendazole;
• from paragonimiasis, schistosomiasis, opisthorchiasis
• for echinococcus: mebendazole;
• from bovine tapeworm: praziquantel.

Folk remedies

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

Purifying the body of enterobionts with nuts.Pour 0, 5 liters of vodka into the green crust of 15 walnuts and put in a dark place for a month. Take within 5 days, after dissolving a drop of tincture in 0. 1 l of water. Next, increase the dosage to 2-2. 5 tsp. and take 2 times a day for a full year.

Purification with the medicinal plant absinthe.Grinds dried plant seeds. Reception should begin with a pinch. By the 15th day of admission, the dosage should reach 1. 5 hours, after which take 0. 5 tsp per day. Finally, use the same dosage only once a week.

Purify the body with clove seeds.Grind the seeds to a dusty state. You need to start with 1. 5 tsp, gradually reducing the dosage to one tablespoon. The admission course is 10 days.

Infection prevention

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

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

If everything is in order with each barrier, you will not be afraid of a single parasite. Even if it is already in the body, it will be excreted naturally. But when at least one barrier is breached, it signals a breach of the entire system.

First,to prevent infection, it is necessary to regularly observe hand and whole body hygiene, tidy up the oral cavity: cure sick teeth, bleeding gums, stomatitis, get ridof an unpleasant smell.

Second, establish an alcohol regimenand follow a proper diet.

Third, it eliminates biliary stagnation.

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