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 this 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 features of the treatment of each pathogen.
Causes of occurrence
Parasites in the host's body appear on contact with the external environment. All pathways of disease penetration are divided into 4 main types:
- Food contamination (with dirty water or food, unwashed hands).
- Domestic contact and penetration (through pets and other infected people).
- Transmissive injection (due to insect bites).
- Purcut or active infection (penetration of the parasite larva through the skin and mucous membranes in contact with dirty soil or water).
This disease can also be infected through unprotected sexual intercourse, in this way the Trichomonas enters the human body.
Types of parasites
All bacteria that live by attaching themselves to the human body can be divided into three large groups:
- Protozoa. This group has many varieties, most often you can meet lamblia, trochimonad and toxoplasma infection. They can appear on various parts of the body.
- Worms (helminths). These include pinworms, roundworms, pork and bovine tapeworms, echinococcus and other species. Such parasites develop in the patient's intestines.
- Ectoparasites such as ticks or lice, fleas. Parasitic 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, impairing the work of internal organs, but without giving any special signs of their occurrence. Symptoms of worms are often attributed to general malaise 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 parasite "hosts" in the body.
Symptoms and signs
The symptoms of different types of pathogenic microorganisms in the body may differ. 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;
- intestinal dysfunction, pain;
- rash;
- increase in body temperature;
- anemia (whitening of the skin and mucous membranes of the body).
Microorganisms live off their host, so the human body is working to wear out. As the disease develops, the symptoms worsen, so treatment should be started when the first signs are detected.
