Parasites in the human body

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headache, insomnia, which indicates intoxication.

How to get rid of parasites

What are parasites?These are animals, plants or microorganisms that live at the expense of their owner.They feed on its cells or tissues, using vitamins and nutrients that should have been used to build the host's body cells.Parasites also poison the body with substances they release during their lifetime.

In medicine, only multicellular parasites and protozoa are called human parasites, while viruses and bacteria are classified as pathogens.Let's consider what types of parasites exist in the human body, the symptoms of their presence and their treatment with folk remedies.

Types of parasites in the human body and where they live

Protozoan and multicellular parasites can be found in the human body or on its surface.If the parasite lives on the skin, then it is called an ectoparasite;this type includes lice, bedbugs and the causative agent of scabies.Endoparasites are protozoa (giardia, amoebae), helminths (worms, worms) or insect larvae that can live in human organs and tissues.

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

A person can become infected with parasites in different ways.This is due to the development cycle of a particular type of parasite.Thus, the parasite can enter the host's body in several ways.Through contaminated food and water.Additionally, in some cases it becomes contaminated during storage and preparation;flies and cockroaches also contribute.And sometimes food can be contaminated from the very beginning, for example when poorly heat-treated fish or meat from infected animals is used for cooking.

The contact-to-household pathway occurs when parasites are transmitted from one person to another, through household items or pets.

Transmissible route, when parasites are carried by blood-sucking insects.

Some larvae of parasites, once on human skin, are capable of eating it on their own and penetrating the body.For example, the larva of the human skin horsefly, which causes dermatobiasis.

Symptoms of infection of the human body with parasites

The symptoms appearing during an infection can be varied, they are often associated with the location of the parasite.Thus, ectoparasites cause skin lesions.If the parasite lives in the lungs, the patient may experience coughing and shortness of breath.When parasites are detected in the intestines, digestive disorders, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting and many others are observed.

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

Parasites in the intestinesThey use the nutrients in food for their growth and development.For this reason, the human body begins to lack it.This is particularly dangerous for children, as their growth slows and their physical and mental development is impaired.

The parasites adapt well, are able to live for years in the same organism and their eggs and larvae exhibit 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 food digestion.Therefore, in a patient with parasites in the intestines, symptoms often resemble diseases of the digestive system.

Why are helminths dangerous?

Helminths are worms, they can be small or reach a length of 7 to 10 meters.Sometimes the cycle of development of helminths is such that a person becomes infected with them again.The first part of the cycle takes place in the intestines, and with repeated infections, eggs enter the muscles, lungs, liver and kidneys.

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

• ascariasis, the larvae migrate through the liver to the lungs and again enter the intestines, where the adult individual develops;
• opisthorchiasis, which most often affects the liver, can lead to cancer or cirrhosis;
• cestodosis - infection with tapeworms, which occurs when eating poorly heat-treated meat and fish;
• Tapeworms live a long time and grow to enormous sizes.Very dangerous is the pork tapeworm, the eggs of which enter the blood vessels and can migrate to the muscles and brain;
• schistosomiasis, it is caused by fluke parasites and flatworms;
• toxocariasis, difficult to detect, can affect the eyes and nervous tissues, often causes allergic reactions;
• Echinococcosis – Echinococcus parasitizes the liver and lungs.

There are also less common illnesses.These are trichinosis, fascioliasis, enterobiasis, echinostomosis and others.

There are several ways to treat parasites in the human body using folk remedies.Some are used against specific parasites, others help get rid of 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 get rid of protozoa and protozoan parasites

The most common protozoan parasites are:

• roundworms;
• amoebae, lamblia, blastocysts, balantidia, leishmania and other parasites in the intestines;
• Trypanosomes, pathogens of malaria and babesia, are found in the blood;
• in the genitourinary system - Trichomonas, infection occurs through sexual contact;
• in the heart, liver, brain and eyes - toxoplasma (infection occurs most often in cats, affects nervous tissue and causes early miscarriages), trypanosomes, Naegleria Fowler, acanthamoeba.

It has been noticed that parasites really don't like hot peppers and aromatic herbs, so if you cook food by seasoning it with onions, horseradish, garlic and if you use cinnamon and cloves in your baked goods, this can help fight parasites.

How to get rid of ectoparasites

The most common ectoparasites are:

• lice (head, pubic, body);
• bedbugs;
• itching from scabies;
• demodex (living in eyebrows and eyelashes).

Of course, these parasites are most often transmitted through objects and you can only get rid of them if you follow hygiene rules.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, onion and laundry soap.

General cleansing of the whole body from parasites by traditional methods

How to get rid of parasites in the human body using folk remedies?There are three plants that cleanse the body and eliminate both protozoan parasites and helminths: these are green walnut bark, wormwood and cloves.

1. Cleaning parasites with walnut peels.Take 15 nuts, remove the green skin, pour 500 g of vodka and set aside for a month.Take 1 drop in half a glass of water, increasing the dose by one drop each day for 5 days, then increase the dose to 2 teaspoons twice a day then 2 teaspoons per day for a year.

How to quickly get rid of parasites in the liver and body, at home

According to medical parasitology, parasites are creatures that live at the expense of 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 a source of ascariasis, echinococcosis, enterobiosis and other diseases.

The properties of harmful microorganisms are as follows:

• complete dependence on the owner;
• threat to human health and normal functioning;
• close connection with the owner for a certain period.

Types of parasitic organisms

There are generally two types of parasites found in the human body:

• roundworms are round worms measuring up to 40 centimeters long.Adults live in the small intestine and move quietly there;their lifespan is one year;
• tapeworm wide - tapeworm or tapeworm.They live in human intestines and live up to 25 years.

Giardia, staphylococci, streptococci and pinworms are sometimes found.

How does the infection occur?

1. Drink contaminated tap water.The size of certain types of parasites allows them to pass through a regular filter.
2. Dirty or unwashed fruits and vegetables (mainly exotic) contribute to infection.
3. Contact with domestic animals.Infection is possible even if the animal is at a distance of five meters (parasites are transmitted through saliva and air).
4. Blood-sucking insects carry harmful microorganisms.
5. Some types of parasites are transmitted by airborne droplets or 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

Parasites spread throughout the body through the circulatory and lymphatic systems.They can be found in any organ.Typically, they accumulate in the intestines, liver, bile ducts and kidneys.

The main signs of the presence of harmful microorganisms in the body are:

• intestinal dysfunction - a person suffers from frequent constipation or diarrhea;
• discomfort in the stomach and intestines, possibly bloating and flatulence;
• significant weight loss, at the same time there is an increase in appetite (sometimes there is severe obesity);
• decreased immunity;
• a feeling of constant fatigue, anxiety and a person begins to feel depressed;

• yellowing of the whites of the eyes;
• bad breath;
• dizziness;
• bruises under the eyes;
• hair and nails become brittle;
• the patient has skin problems - acne, dermatosis, dermatitis;jams appear at the corners of the mouth and cracks at the heels.

How to recognize

1. It is necessary to do a stool test to detect worm eggs.It is advisable to repeat this analysis 2 to 3 times, because the process of stool evacuation can coincide with the time when the parasites have not yet laid eggs.
2. A blood test to check for the presence of antibodies that the body produces to kill parasites.This method only gives results in later stages of the disease.

Preparing for cleaning

A few days before the body is cleared of parasites, you need to switch to a diet that will facilitate the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

1. It is necessary to reduce the diet of meat products.
2. Eat more fiber-rich vegetables.
3. Increase the content of greens, dairy products, seeds, seaweed, vegetables and fruits in your diet.It is believed that the parasites do not tolerate red and green foods.

Cleaning at home

The first method involves cleansing the body with medications.Medications must be prescribed by the attending physician.

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

The second method is cleaning using folk remedies.These methods have a gentle effect on the body and have fewer contraindications.

But before resorting to treatment, you should consult your doctor.Tips for expelling parasites from the body can be used for safe prevention.

   Pumpkin seeds should be sprinkled with salted water, then heated in a pan or fried in a small amount of vegetable oil, adding salt.The treat is eaten regardless of the meal.

Complications and consequences

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

After cleaning from harmful microorganisms, the following reactions are possible:

• allergy;
• immunodeficiency;
• decreased hemoglobin levels;
• chronic diseases of organs in which harmful microorganisms are found.

Parasites have a negative impact on the condition of children.

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

Who should not be purified?

Pests cannot be eliminated at home in the following situations:

• patients with heart disease (history of heart attack, stroke);
• for oncological tumors;
• during an exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• patients with acute renal and hepatic failure;
• people suffering from ulcers, gastritis;
• during pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• for colds.

Pests cause a lot of trouble and harm the health of the owner.A person can live with harmful microorganisms for many years without even realizing it.
