Parasites in the human body

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, and manifestations of intoxication.

How to get rid of parasites

What are parasites?These are animals, plants or microorganisms that live for the benefit of their owners.They feed on the host's cells or tissues, using vitamins and nutrients that would otherwise be used to build the host's body's cells.Parasites also poison the body with substances they excrete during life.

In medicine, only multicellular parasites and protozoa are called human parasites, while viruses and bacteria are classified as pathogens.Let's look at what types of parasites are present in the human body, the symptoms of their presence and how to treat them with folk remedies.

Types of parasites in the human body and where they live

Both unicellular and multicellular parasites can be found in the human body or on its surface.If parasites live on the skin, they are called parasites;This category includes lice, bedbugs and the agent that causes scabies.Endoparasites are protozoa (giardia, amoebas), helminths (worms, worms) or insect larvae that can live in human organs and tissues.

Each type of parasite develops in a certain part of the human body, where the living conditions are most suitable.Some parasites, depending on the stage of development, migrate (move) throughout the body from one organ to another.Parasites live on the skin and endogenous parasites can be found in the intestines, muscles, blood, heart, lungs, liver and even in nervous tissues.

Endoparasites

A person can become infected with parasites in many different ways.This is due to the development cycle of a particular parasite.So, there are several ways for the parasite to enter the host's body.Through contaminated food and water.Furthermore, in some cases it becomes contaminated during storage and preparation;Flies and cockroaches also contribute to this.And sometimes food can be contaminated in the first place, such as when poorly heat-treated fish or meat from an infected animal is used for cooking.

Household exposure is when parasites are transmitted from person to person, through household objects or pets.

The route of transmission is when the parasite is carried by blood-sucking insects.

Some parasitic larvae, when on human skin, can gnaw through the skin and enter the body.For example, horsefly larvae on human skin cause dermatological diseases.

Symptoms of infection of the human body due to parasites

Symptoms that occur during infection can be very diverse, they are often related to the location of the parasite.Therefore, the parasite causes damage to the skin.If the parasite lives in the lungs, the person may have a cough and difficulty breathing.When parasites are detected in the intestines, there will be digestive disorders, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting and many other diseases.

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, and manifestations of intoxication.Allergic reactions frequently occur, leading to dermatitis, skin rashes and even bronchial asthma.

Parasites in the intestinesThey use nutrients from food to grow and develop.Because of this, the human body begins to feel their lack.This is especially dangerous for children because their growth slows and physical and mental development is impaired.

Parasites are well adapted, can live for many years in the same body, and their eggs and larvae have significant resistance to the environment.In the digestive organs, to protect themselves, parasites can secrete special substances that inactivate enzymes and disrupt the process of digesting food.Therefore, in patients with intestinal parasites, symptoms often resemble diseases of the digestive system.

Why are helminths dangerous?

Helminths are worms, they can be small in size or up to 7-10 meters long.Sometimes the growth cycle of helminths causes a person to become infected with them again.The first part of the cycle takes place in the intestines and with repeated infections, the eggs enter the muscles, lungs, liver and kidneys.

The most common helminths found in humans are parasites in the intestines, gallbladder, ducts and liver and cause:

  • In ascariasis, the larvae migrate through the liver into the lungs and again enter the intestines, where adults develop;
  • opisthorchiasis, which most commonly affects the liver, can lead to cancer or cirrhosis;
  • cestodosis - tapeworm infection, which occurs through the consumption of poorly processed meat and fish;
  • Tapeworms live a long time and reach enormous sizes.Pork tapeworm disease is very dangerous, eggs enter blood vessels, move to muscles and brain;
  • Schistosomiasis, caused by trematode and flatworm parasites;
  • Toxocariasis is difficult to detect, can affect the eyes and nervous tissues, and often causes allergies;
  • Echinococcosis - Echinococcus parasitizes the liver and lungs.

There are also less common diseases.These are trichinosis, trypanosomiasis, enteropathy, echinostomosis and others.

There are several ways to treat parasites in the human body using folk remedies.Some are used to fight specific parasites, others help eliminate a whole group of parasitic infections, and some help cleanse organs and systems.Let's take a closer look at how to get rid of specific parasites in the body using folk remedies.

How to remove protozoa and protozoa parasites

The most common protozoan parasites are:

  • roundworms;
  • amoeba, lamblia, blastocyst, balantidia, leishmania and others parasitic in the intestines;
  • Trypanosomes, pathogens of malaria and babesia are found in the blood;
  • in the genitourinary system - Trichomonas, infection occurs through sexual intercourse;
  • in the heart, liver, brain and eyes - toxoplasma (infection most commonly occurring in cats, affecting nervous tissue and causing early miscarriage), trypanosomes, Naegleria Fowler, acanthamoeba.

It has been noticed that parasites really do not like hot peppers and aromatic herbs, so if you cook food, season onions, horseradish, garlic and use cinnamon and cloves in baking, this can help in the fight against parasites.

How to get rid of parasites

The most common ectoparasites are:

  • lice (lice on the head, pubic area, and body);
  • bug;
  • itchy scabies;
  • Demodex (lives in eyebrows and eyelashes).

Of course, these parasites are more often transmitted through objects, and you can only get rid of them if you follow the rules of hygiene.But traditional medicine recommends kerosene, vinegar with salt, burdock decoction and elecampane to kill lice.You can also use a mixture of mint with pomegranate or cranberry juice.

To treat scabies, use a mixture of lard, laundry soap and sulfur.You can also lubricate the skin with black powder with sour cream or a mixture of garlic, onions and laundry soap.

Cleans the entire body from parasites using traditional methods

How to remove parasites in the human body using folk remedies?There are three plants that cleanse the body and eliminate both protozoan parasites and helminths - green walnut shells, wormwood and cloves.

How to quickly remove parasites in the liver and body at home

viruses and bacteria

Parasites, based on medical parasitology, are any organisms that live off their host.

The exceptions are viruses and bacteria.

Parasites are divided into protozoa and helminths.

Protozoa cause giardiasis, toxoplasmosis, malaria, trichomoniasis and other diseases.Helminths are the source of ascariasis, echinococcosis, intestinal diseases and other diseases.

The characteristics of harmful microorganisms include:

  • completely dependent on the owner;
  • threat to human health and normal functioning;
  • closely connected with the owner for a certain period of time.

Types of parasitic organisms

Usually there are two types of parasites found in the human body:

  • Nematodes are roundworms up to 40 cm long.Adults live in the small intestine and move quietly through it;Their lifespan is one year;
  • Broad tapeworm - tapeworm or tapeworm.They live in the human intestine and live up to 25 years.

Giardia, staphylococci, streptococci and pinworms are occasionally found.

How does infection happen?

  1. Drink contaminated tap water.The size of some parasites allows them to pass through conventional filters.
  2. Dirty or unwashed vegetables and fruits (mainly imported varieties) contribute to infection.
  3. Contact pets.Infection is possible even if the animal is at a distance of five meters (the parasite is transmitted through saliva and air).
  4. Blood-sucking insects are carriers of harmful microorganisms.
  5. Some parasites are transmitted through airborne droplets or through handshakes.
  6. Contaminated meat products that have not undergone high-quality heat treatment become the cause of infection.
  7. The main source of parasites is raw fish.

Symptoms and signs

The parasite spreads throughout the body through the circulatory and lymphatic systems.They can be found in any organ.Normally, they accumulate in the intestines, liver, bile ducts and kidneys.

The main signs indicating the presence of harmful microorganisms in the body include:

  • bowel dysfunction - a person has frequent constipation or diarrhea;
  • stomach and intestinal discomfort, possibly gas and bloating;
  • strong weight loss, while increasing appetite (sometimes severe obesity occurs);
  • reduced immunity;
  • feeling of constant fatigue, anxiety and a person begins to feel depressed;
  • The whites of the eyes are yellow
  • the whites of the eyes become yellow;
  • bad breath;
  • dizzy;
  • bruises under the eyes;
  • hair and nails become brittle;
  • Patients with skin problems - acne, dermatitis, dermatitis;jam appears at the corners of the mouth and cracks at the heels.

How to recognize

  1. Stool testing is required to detect worm eggs.It is recommended to repeat this analysis 2-3 times, because the process of fecal excretion may coincide with the time when the parasites have not yet laid eggs.
  2. Blood test to check for antibodies that the body makes to kill parasites.This method only gives results in the later stages of the disease.

Prepare to clean

A few days before the body is freed from parasites, you should switch to a diet that eases the activity of the digestive tract.

  1. It is necessary to reduce the intake of meat products.
  2. Eat lots of fiber-rich vegetables.
  3. Increase the content of leafy greens, dairy products, nuts, seaweed, vegetables and fruits in your diet.It is believed that the parasite cannot tolerate red and green foods.

Clean at home

The first method is to cleanse the body with medication.The medicine must be prescribed by the attending physician.

The drug has a strong toxic effect and has a number of contraindications.After treatment, it is worth taking a course to strengthen the immune system.

Complications and consequences

Parasites negatively affect the host.They gradually poison the body with waste products and reduce human immunity.

After cleaning harmful microorganisms, the following reactions may occur:

  • allergy;
  • immunodeficiency;
  • decreased hemoglobin concentration;
  • Chronic diseases of organs in which harmful microorganisms are present.

Parasites have a negative impact on the condition of children.

They cause delayed physical and mental development, memory loss and delayed sexual development.

Who should not be purified?

It is impossible to remove parasites at home in the following cases:

  • Patients with heart disease (with a history of heart attack or stroke);
  • for cancerous tumors;
  • during exacerbation of chronic diseases;
  • patients with acute kidney and liver failure;
  • people with ulcers and gastritis;
  • during pregnancy and lactation;
  • for colds.

Parasites cause a lot of trouble and are harmful to the homeowner's health.A person can live with harmful microorganisms for years without even realizing it.
