It is difficult for an ordinary person to imagine how many parasites can threaten their health.These "settlers" can live in the human body for years, literally sucks life and poisoning with their poison.
Types of parasites
From the point of view of medicine, parasites include unicellular and protozoa.According to the habitat, they are divided into exoparasites (lice, insects and others) and endoparasites.
Endoparasites have their subspecies:
- Larvae posed by insects.
- The simplest (Amiba, Lamblia).
- Helminthes (verse or vers).
Infection ways
Each parasite has its own path of penetration into the human body.The most common way is food, that is to say with the help of water or food.Many insects can transport parasitic larvae, infecting the environment.Using raw water, unwashed and not carefully cooked products, a person is infected with parasites.
Some species are transmitted directly when human contacts to a person - this path is called contact household.For infection, it is not necessary to have direct contact with the distributor, just use household items.Thus transmitted enterobiosis and some other parasitic forms.
No less popular transmission path of infection.In this case, sucking insects are tolerated by parasites.Thus, they can be obtained after a mosquito bite or another insect.
The last way to hit the parasites is the path of the impact, the second name is active.The infection occurs by penetration of larvae through mucous membranes and the skin.This occurs in connection with contact with a soil or water infected in a tank.
Symptoms
Parasites of the human body can live for a long time and not manifest.Symptoms, of course, will be, but they are disguised as other diseases.This is why a person may not guess what is infected for a long time.
Symptoms most often appear depending on the location of larvae, but the body can point out infection and other manifestations.The most common are:
- Flatulence,In addition, constant, indicates the presence of worms in the small intestine;
- Diarrhea.Caused by the absorption of sodium chloride parasites;
- Constipation.Through worms can obstruct certain organs;
- Pain in joints and muscles.These pains are caused by the migration of larvae in the human body, to which the immune system reacts in this way;
- Allergy.The parasites themselves are an allergen for the body, and damage to the walls of the stomach contribute to the disturbance of digestion and to the entrance to food molecules in the blood;
- The appearance of granules.It is a kind of neoplasms that occur following the body's envelope with the body of destroyed parasites eggs;
- Dermatological manifestations;
- Anemia.Often people suffer from anemia precisely due to the activities of parasitic forms;
- Fruit fluctuation fruit;
- Mental disorders.In the life process, parasites are distinguished toxins that negatively affect the carrier's nervous system.A consequence of body poisoning can be neurosis, depression, anxiety;
- Bruxism.It is a grinding of the teeth during sleep.This is the response of the nervous system to the appearance of foreign bodies.But this fact is not ultimately proven by science;
- Sleep disorder.As a rule, it occurs due to non -comfortable sensations.An example can be the cuts of their photos here, which lay the eggs at night.By leaving the rectum, the cutter emits a toxin which causes serious itching;
- Dysbiosis;
- Oncological diseases;
- Chronic fatigue.Occurs due to a lack of nutrients, which negatively affects the state of the body;
- Respiratory diseases.A number of parasites can live in the airways, causing their illness.Other parasites cause colds, moving into the respiratory system;
- Immunity disorders.The absorption of most vitamins with parasites leads to a weakening of body barrier functions and more likely to infect disease.
But there are also symptoms characteristic of the presence of parasites in a particular human organ.For example, the life of parasites in the liver can indicate papillomas, the appearance of bald spots on the head, cracks in the heels, etc.In addition, the presence of certain types of parasitic forms can cause a certain type of disease in humans.
Disease detection
Unfortunately, some doctors are leveled by their functions and do not direct a person to special studies to identify the parasites of the body.The most common analysis is the delivery of the excrement for verse eggs.The fact is that parasites can live in various organs.
There were cases where worms were found in a person's brain and eyes.Is the probability of bringing their eggs from the brain to the excrement?Most likely not.Even in the presence of verses in the intestines, parasitic eggs cannot be found.
First, the doctor must perform a visual examination of the patient.Through external signs, you can suspect the presence of human parasites.The easiest way to detect them is to pass a blood test aimed at detecting special antibodies from worms.
Description of human parasites
There are several dozen species of parasites living in the human body.
Vers or Helminthes, these are a kind of worms.Their size depends on the type, for example, ascaride women reach a size of 40 centimeters.Some species can exceed a length of 10 meters.The favorite habitat of the worms is the intestines, but they often find themselves in other organs, even the brain.
For example, ascarid larvae circulate through the body, collecting nutrients and return to the intestines, where they develop and multiply.Often they live in the respiratory system.The presence of ascari in the human body is accompanied by a labor disorder of the internal organs, the poisoning of the body, allergic manifestations and even an increase in temperature.
Among the representatives of bandworms is a chain of pork that migrates in the brain through the blood.
This parasite enters the body thanks to poorly processed meat products.This worm lives up to 20 years.
Advice most often develops in the body of a child, but quite often in adults.These verses are small, reach 1 centimeter.The distribution of pine eggs occurs in a contact path.The female comes out of the rectum and lays eggs in the external folds of the anus.The toxin, distinguished by the female, causes serious itching, which leads to the entrance to the eggs on the hands of a person and to transfer them to all the surrounding objects.
The second name of enterobiosis is a dirty hand disease.All people in contact with the carrier are probably infected.Therefore, if cuts are found, it is recommended to treat the whole family.
Tokara- This is a type of parasites living in dogs.They enter the human body and also develop perfectly.Unlike these verses in the body, dogs, human toxocars do not come out, but affect many organs and cause certain diseases.You can be infected with toxocars through the ground, because the larvae of these verses come out with the dog's excrement.But also parasitic eggs can spread from the damp breathing of the dog.
Alveococcus and echinococcusinfects the body in many ways.Their danger lies in the fact that larvae are transformed into cysts which can be in various internal organs.
The representative of the protozoa is the lambie.Like pine verses, giardias most often infect children.
They not only reduce the immunity of the child, but also cause a delay in the mental and physical development of children.
This list is far from Noton.The main danger of parasites is that no one is immune to infection.Their secret leads to the fact that a person has been feeding parasites for years without suspecting him.Compliance with personal hygiene, constant cleaning of wet accommodation and the implementation of thermal treatment of meat products are not poor prevention of infections.It will be useful to undergo an examination of the doctor and take the necessary tests once every six months, in order to avoid the spread of parasites.
