Human parasites: symptoms and treatment

Parasites in the human body are organisms that will begin to live and actively reproduce after entering the internal organs and systems. The symptoms and treatment methods will be introduced below.

Parasites usually live in the intestines, liver and pancreas.

They can also exist in the lungs, brain, gallbladder, eyes, and even external soft tissues (under the skin).

Parasites in the human body (symptoms and treatment depend on the specific parasite focus) can be very different.

The following types of parasites most commonly infect humans (adults and children):

1. worm.
2. Worms or worms.
3. Scar insect disease.
4. Giardia.
5. Playing cards.
6. Chain (pork).
7. Flatworms.

Pinworms are the most common parasites in children. Moreover, if a child is infected with a worm, other family members are also likely to be infected. The pinworm is characterized by the female pinworm coming out of the patient's anus at night and laying eggs there, which can cause severe itching.

Usually, this parasite enters the human body without hand hygiene, which is very common in young children. Worms are very large parasites. Their eggs are found in unprocessed food, so eating cooked meat or fish is the first route of infection.

Giardia is an aquatic parasite. The main source of these organisms are elderly and child care centers. Worms are parasites harmful to humans. They can inhabit any part of the intestine and seriously damage the health of patients.

The causes of parasitic infections may be different, because in fact, the danger lies in waiting for one person at each step. Infections often occur at home. This is especially true for children. For example, poor hand washing before eating can ensure that all microorganisms and parasite eggs (including those eggs) enter the digestive system.

Other possible causes of parasite infestation are:

1. Swimming in contaminated stagnant water.
2. Eat poorly washed foods, especially berries, fruits and vegetables.
3. Eat cooked food. This applies to fish and meat. Also worth mentioning is the danger of eating raw fish (for example in sushi). The fact is that most of the fish in our country are imported, so people can only dream of it. As a result, under improper storage conditions of the fish, various worm eggs are easily produced, and then people will eat with the fish. In addition, it is worth beware of the dangers of eating wild meat, wild meat may also be infected with many dangerous parasites.
4. Contact with animal feces. This can happen when children are playing in an open sandbox. Cats and dogs in the yard can easily "visit" these children. As a result, a chain reaction was triggered: the child poured toys into the infected sand and then took them home. In the same place, babies will forget to wash their hands and drag them into the mouth-infection can be guaranteed.
5. Violated hygiene regulations when preparing food, cleaning the house or taking a bath. In addition, it is not ruled out that the way of transmission through saliva, utensils, towels or even shaking hands (parasite eggs may be under the nails of patients with rectal itching). If a healthy person does not wash his hands thoroughly after such contact, he will definitely be infected.
6. Drinking tap water can not only remove common pollutants, but it is also rich in eggs of many parasites.

Important!

Even if the parasite eggs enter the intestine, there is nothing that prevents them from spreading with the blood to the entire body and depositing in the eyes, brain and muscles. Therefore, please do not underestimate the danger of parasite infestation.

It is important to mention a person's bad habits-nail biting, pulling small objects into the mouth, etc. Usually, infections occur through contact with pets who are not taking antiparasitic drugs. Also, don't forget the small flies and mosquitoes, they are the carriers of the most dangerous types of parasites.

In this case, the disease can either be contained in the feces of the fly, or it can be directly addicted to people when bitten. Today, there are many effective treatments for parasites.

This can be the treatment of diseases through folk remedies, the use of garlic, soda water, kefir and other products to clean the body, and the treatment of pathologies through drugs. Human parasites may have different symptoms and treatment methods. They are considered extremely living organisms, so it is difficult to remove them from the body, but it is possible through correct diagnosis and treatment.

Signs of parasites in the human body: What you need to know

It should be said immediately that the signs of parasites in the human body can be very different. This largely depends on the specific type of "tenant" placed in that person. Depending on the location of the parasite, the patient may have characteristic symptoms.

Therefore, when the parasite is in the intestine, adults may experience the following symptoms:

1. Diarrhea and indigestion. It is caused by protozoan type parasites.
2. Bad breath is the first sign of parasites in adults.
3. Constipation when parasites block bowel movements. Moreover, sometimes due to their effects, the patient's bile ducts are blocked. In turn, this threatens the manifestations of jaundice and liver disease.
4. Flatulence is usually caused by worms located in the small intestine. They can also cause bloating and gas. Therefore, if a person has frequent abdominal distension, then this is a clear sign of worm invasion.
5. Peristaltic parasites can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and general abdominal pain.

The signs of parasites in the human body can occur not only in the digestive system, but also in other organs and systems. Therefore, usually a patient has a disorder in the nervous system. This can manifest as sleep deprivation, restlessness or even bruxism at night, which usually occurs in sleeping children (this condition is also medically defined-bruxism).

is ​​described as one of the types of neurological abnormalities caused by external stimuli. Due to the migration ability of certain parasites, a person may experience joint and muscle pain. At the same time, sometimes the pain is very obvious, and the patient suffers a pain similar to acute arthritis. Usually, signs of parasites in the human body are manifested in the form of allergic reactions.

In this state, the toxins released by parasites (especially worms) can activate the body's immune response in the form of releasing a certain number of protective cells. As a result, patients may develop various allergic and inflammatory processes on the skin. For this reason, people in this state often suffer from various skin diseases-rashes, urticaria, eczema and dermatitis due to nutritional media.

If the intestines are damaged, people may develop acne, rough skin, papilloma and even nails become brittle.If internal organs are severely damaged by parasites, a person will develop a severe form of anemia. The facts make sense, because certain types of worms can stick to the intestinal membrane and absorb all the nutrients that should enter the body.

Therefore, the patient not only suffers from vitamin deficiency, but also suffers from internal blood loss. In adult patients suffering from a large number of parasitic diseases, the weight may drop sharply and the body is generally exhausted. This is not only due to the fact that the parasite "drank all the juice", but also because the patient does not want to eat at all in this state, because his digestion will be greatly disturbed.

If the parasite is located in a person’s lungs, he may experience chronic cough, bronchitis, sputum production and pneumonia.Usually, this is caused by the powerful destruction of round bugs. Scientists have discovered that asthma is a common sign of infection with worms and their active reproduction. The last characteristic of adult parasites is low immunity and tendency to tumor pathology, which occurs due to the continuous poisoning of the human body.

The signs of parasites in the human body (especially children) may be as follows:

1. Children’s nervousness, frequent crying and depression.
2. Children who often wake up in the middle of the night will show lack of sleep.
3. Loss of appetite, generally low age.
4. Anal itching and frequent diarrhea.
5. The great weakness of the child.
6. Inclination towards ARVI.
7. Asthma symptoms and frequent coughing.

It is also important to note that sometimes worm infections can occur while the child is still in the womb. Therefore, the fetus can develop various pathologies even before birth. After birth, if the parasite has entered the respiratory system, children may be susceptible to chronic bronchitis. About the prevention and treatment of parasites-further introduction in the article.

Symptoms and treatment of internal parasites

After considering the symptoms of internal parasites, it is important to talk about its traditional treatment options. It is always done through the use of drugs. It should be noted that for each type of parasite, a separate drug must be used.

If it is an intestinal worm, it is necessary to take probiotics to normalize intestinal function and remove parasites from it. If the patient is diagnosed with parasites in internal organs (such as the liver), long-term effective antibiotics, corticosteroids and other medications can be prescribed.

It is important to note that

the symptoms of internal parasites may change during treatment, so treatment should always be performed under medical supervision.

The symptoms of internal parasites vary greatly. Sometimes a person is misdiagnosed as the wrong cause because the signs of parasitic diseases are sometimes similar to other diseases. Traditional therapies "works" no worse than medicine.

The best folk recipe to get rid of parasites is:

1. A mixture of pumpkin and honey. To prepare it, you need to grind unprocessed pumpkin seeds with honey to get a uniform mixture. Take it on a spoon several times a day. The treatment time is at least one month.
2. Wormwood and honey therapy. Grind a spoonful of wormwood and mix with honey. Use between meals, then take a laxative.
3. Peel a few cloves of garlic. Mix with boiled milk and drain. Drink three cups of the prepared mixture on an empty stomach.
4. Take the chopped horseradish and fill it with 0. 5 liters of vodka. Stick to it for a week. Take one spoonful every day. The treatment time should be at least one week.
5. Celandine soup. To prepare it, you need to take two tablespoons of chopped celandine and mix it with wormwood. Cover with water and boil. Filter and take half a cup twice a day. The treatment time is at least two weeks.

Prevention

Preventing parasitic harm to the body includes carefully observing personal hygiene habits and keeping hands clean. Therefore, wash your hands as often as possible, especially before eating. Children should also be taught to do this from an early age.

The next rule is to maintain privacy and hygiene.This means taking a shower and changing underwear every day. As for the sheets, they must be changed once a week (cleaning and ironing are required). It is very important to pay attention to the quality of the food you eat. If necessary, it should be thoroughly cleaned and heat treated.

Also, don't eat raw fish and meat. The doctor does not recommend that you buy food of doubtful quality, or buy food prepared in various fast food stalls. In such a place, there is no concept of sterility, so it is easy to infect parasites there.

The important thing is to always pay attention to your children and not let them drag everything into their mouths.When children play with pets, you should also be extra careful, because babies can easily absorb "infection" from pets. Usually, pets need separate care, proper feeding and regular pills to prevent parasites.

Don't forget the support of the immune system, because with strong defense capabilities, the body is more likely to resist parasites. You should not swim in poorly cleaned stagnant water. It is important to remember that you should consult your doctor during the initial disturbance of bowel movements, abdominal pain, anemia or chronic poisoning.
