Parasites are considered organisms that live on or inside the human body and compete for nutrients with human host cells.Parasites vary in size from microscopic amoebas to large intestinal worms.
Parasites are found on the external surface of the human body, while endoparasites live in the tissues and organs inside the human body.
A parasite is known as an organism that obtains nutrition by eating or being inside another animal.Human parasites are divided into intestinal parasites and blood parasites.
All types of parasites can be transmitted in the following different ways:
- from animals to humans;
- from person to person;
- from humans to animals.
These organisms can live and reproduce in the organs and tissues of humans and infected hosts.They are usually excreted in feces.
Some parasites can be present in food or water and become important causes of water- and food-borne diseases.As a result, parasites are now commonly identified as the cause of foodborne illness, ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating illness and possibly death (in the most severe cases).
The parasite is known to be transmitted from one host to another through drinking contaminated water and food and/or by mouthing anything that has touched the feces of an infected person or animal.
All types of parasites vary in size, from tiny, single-celled organisms (called protozoa) to larger multicellular worms (called helminths) that can be seen with the naked eye.
According to modern medical practice, helminths cannot reproduce in the human body and eventually disappear without infecting humans again.Protozoa have only one cell and can reproduce inside the human body.
Parasites can also be divided into the following types of parasites:
- Obligate parasites can only exist in the host body and that is why they transmit directly from one host to another.The said process can involve a complex life cycle.This type of parasite includes Trichomonas and Trichinella.
- Temporary parasites spend only part of their lives as parasites and the rest as free-living organisms.
- Free-living parasites are usually free-living organisms capable of infecting a host unintentionally.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites
Admittedly, there are some distinct symptoms experienced by those affected by parasites.These include:
- gas formation and bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome;
- sleep problems;
- skin diseases;
- allergy;
- joint and muscle pain;
- nervousness, granulomas, chronic fatigue;
- anemia;
- chatter;
- immune system problems.
According to recent studies in North America and Europe, many different types of parasites have been found in the bodies of all people suffering from various chronic diseases.
A course of colloidal medication can effectively aid in the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections.Its effects apply to many types of parasites, from protozoa to helminths, and the drug also helps eliminate unpleasant symptoms caused by parasites.The recommended course of treatment and prevention is 1 month.
