Parasites in the human body

The general effect of parasites on the body is manifested by weakness, fatigue, headaches, 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 cells of the host’s body.Parasites also poison the body with substances that they release during their life processes.

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

Types of parasites in the human body and where they live

Both 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, amoebas), 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 the 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 nerve 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, there are several ways for the parasite to enter the host’s body.Through contaminated food and water.Moreover, in some cases it becomes contaminated during storage and preparation; flies and cockroaches also contribute to this.And sometimes food can be contaminated from the very beginning, for example, when using thermally poorly processed fish or meat from infected animals for cooking.

Contact-household route is 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 parasite larvae, once on human skin, are able to gnaw through it on their own and enter the body.For example, the larva of the human skin gadfly, which causes dermatobiasis.

Symptoms of infection of the human body by parasites

Symptoms that occur during infection can be varied, they are often associated with the location of the parasite.Thus, ectoparasites cause damage to the skin.If the parasite lives in the lungs, the patient may experience coughing and shortness of breath.When parasites are detected in the intestines, there are digestive disorders, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, and many others.

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

Parasites in the intestinesThey use nutrients from food for their growth and development.Because of this, the human body begins to experience a shortage of them.This is especially dangerous for children, as their growth slows down and their physical and mental development is impaired.

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

Why are helminths dangerous?

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

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

• ascariasis, the larvae migrate through the liver into the lungs and again enter the intestines, where the adult individual develops;
• opisthorchiasis, most often affects the liver, can lead to cancer or cirrhosis;
• cestodosis - infection with tapeworms, which occurs through the consumption of thermally poorly processed meat and fish;
• Tapeworms live a long time and reach enormous sizes.The pork tapeworm is very dangerous, the eggs of which penetrate 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 diseases that are less common.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 protozoan and protozoan parasites

The most common protozoan parasites are:

• roundworm;
• amoebas, lamblia, blastocysts, 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 contact;
• in the heart, liver, brain and eyes - toxoplasma (infection most often occurs from cats, affects nerve tissue and causes early miscarriages), trypanosomes, Naegleria Fowler, acanthamoeba.

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

How to get rid of ectoparasites

The most common ectoparasites are:

• lice (head, pubic, body lice);
• bed bugs;
• scabies itching;
• demodex (live in eyebrows and eyelashes).

Of course, these parasites are more often transmitted through things, 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, onion and laundry soap.

General cleansing of the entire body from parasites using traditional methods

How to get rid of parasites in the human body using folk remedies?There are three plants that cleanse the body and remove both protozoal parasites and helminths - these are the peel of green walnuts, wormwood and cloves.

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

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

Parasites, based on medical parasitology, are any creatures that live at the expense of their host.

The exceptions are viruses and bacteria.

Parasites are divided into protozoa and helminths.

Protozoa provoke giardiasis, toxoplasmosis, malaria, trichomoniasis and other diseases.Helminths are a source for ascariasis, echinococcosis, enterobiasis and other diseases.

The properties of harmful microorganisms include the following:

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

Types of parasitic organisms

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

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

Giardia, staphylococci, streptococci, and pinworms are sometimes found.

How does infection occur?

1. Drinking contaminated tap water.The size of some types of parasites allows them to slip through an ordinary filter.
2. Dirty or unwashed vegetables and fruits (primarily exotic ones) contribute to infection.
3. Contact with pets.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 are carriers of harmful microorganisms.
5. Some types of parasites are transmitted through 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 include the following:

• bowel dysfunction - a person suffers from frequent constipation or diarrhea;
• discomfort in the stomach and intestines, possibly bloating and flatulence;
• sharp weight loss, at the same time there is an increase in appetite (sometimes severe obesity occurs);
• 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 problems with the skin - acne, dermatosis, dermatitis;jams appear in the corners of the mouth and cracks in the heels.

How to recognize

1. It is necessary to take a stool test to detect worm eggs.It is advisable to retake this analysis 2-3 times, since the process of passing feces may coincide with the moment when the parasites have not yet laid eggs.
2. A blood test to check for antibodies that the body produces to kill parasites.This method shows results only in the later stages of the disease.

Preparing for cleansing

A few days before the body is freed from parasites, you should switch to a diet that will ease 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 parasites cannot tolerate red and green foods.

Cleansing at home

The first method is cleansing the body with medications.Medicines 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 cleansing using folk remedies.These methods have a gentle effect on the body and have fewer contraindications.

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

6. Pumpkin seeds are a delicious treat.They are also an effective means of expelling parasites.

   Pumpkin seeds should be sprinkled with salted water, then heated in a frying 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 cleansing of harmful microorganisms, the following reactions are possible:

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

Parasites have a negative impact on the condition of children.

They cause retardation in physical and mental development, memory impairment, and delayed sexual development.

Who should not be cleansed?

Parasites cannot be removed at home in the following situations:

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

Parasites cause a lot of trouble and harm the health of the owner.A person can live with harmful microorganisms for many years and not even realize it.
