There are currently more than twenty species of parasitic life forms that can inhabit the body of animals or humans.
They can all enter our body and cause a large number of diseases and infections. Very often such bacteria are found in children because they do not have such a high level of immunity while they are in a lot of contact with animals and some dirty things.
Remember that a small child often takes everything in his mouth?
These items can carry dangerous pests. This article provides a classification of parasites in the human body, how to treat infectious diseases and what is needed to prevent harmful bacteria from entering your body.
Parasitic bacteria in the human body, in which organs can they live?
In the human body and on the skin are the simplest bacteria, they can be unicellular and multicellular.
The parasites that inhabit the body are called ectoparasites. This type includes bedbugs, lice and similar scabies pathogens. Others are called endoparasites because they live in the human body. These include amoebae, worms and insect larvae.
The latter are the most dangerous, while the former are simply unpleasant.
Internal parasites often cause serious diseases and it is more difficult to get rid of external ones. Medicine has already found many ways to get rid of them, and also has extensive experience in the treatment of parasites in the human body.
Each of the parasites has its ideal place in the human body, where they have all the conditions for a parasitic lifestyle, ie the necessary nutrients for growth and reproduction. Some of them can move as they grow.
Endogenous parasites are most common in the intestines, muscles, blood, lungs, heart and liver. Some species even live in nerve tissue. Ectogenic parasites live on the skin.
How can parasites enter the body?
The first methodis the ingestion of bacteria in the body with food and water. Sometimes it is contaminated or contaminated, so that microorganisms begin to multiply there. Insects such as flies and cockroaches also carry many harmful bacteria. Some foods are initially contaminated - raw fish or unprocessed meat. Very often the meat of cattle is infected with parasites, so people do not eat it raw.
Second- contact the household. In this case, the parasites are transmitted by humans, through household items or animals. Infectious bacteria are often transmitted from animals in the open - dogs, cats, birds and rats.
Third- transmission through the blood of mosquitoes. In our country and in many other regions this happens rarely, most often infected mosquitoes live in hot countries.
The fourth is the independent entry of some insects into the human body. They gnaw through the skin and penetrate muscle tissue or blood and then go where the best living conditions are for them.
What are the symptoms of parasites?
Parasites in the human body can cause completely different symptoms - from insomnia, which is often unnoticeable, to skin lesions. For example, ectoparasites often cause skin damage and scabies. Endoparasites in the lungs often cause coughing. When found in the intestines, you may worry about constipation, vomiting or diarrhea.
But the common signs of parasites in humans are: insomnia, general fatigue, headaches and sometimes allergic reactions. Very often people use folk remedies, but they are not always pleasant, for example, not everyone can drink a glass of sauerkraut juice with worms.
Consider the symptoms of different types of parasites:
- The most common parasites in humans are worms or roundworms. They cause intestinal upset and stomach pain, irritability, insomnia and anxiety, and sometimes dizziness. Their detection is quite simple, they can be seen in the stool or get a positive test from an egg worm test;
- Then comes a very dangerous parasite - tapeworm. It often causes discomfort or pain in the abdomen, diarrhea, brutal appetite (eat a lot, but do not gain weight), pain in the liver and the presence of worms in his stool;
- If a person has pinworms, he may notice loss of appetite, insomnia, nervousness and itching in the anus.
Why are parasites dangerous?
They disrupt the functioning of the organs, cause inflammation in the tissues and destroy them. They produce toxic substances that destroy the body.
A pest that parasitizes you can cause vitamin deficiencies, general weight loss, and decreased immunity in both adults and children. The presence of such a parasite in children is very dangerous, as they significantly slow down their development. It is often difficult to get rid of parasites in the body, as they tend to adapt to their environment and do not want to leave their usual home.
How to treat parasites?
To get rid of parasites, you must first see a doctor. He will prescribe a specific medicine or other more natural medicine.
There is also treatment with folk remedies, but it is recommended to be carried out in symbiosis with drugs.
Medical treatment
Doctors have long found an effective treatment for parasites in humans.
The most effective and common pest control drugs are drugs based on synthetic components. They are all very effective in treating worms and various roundworms.
Some medicines are in pill form, while others are in another form, such as a liquid. The dosage is determined only by the doctor, it is not possible to do it yourself without side effects. Also, drugs have differences in the age of the patients for whom they are intended.
Another way to treat people with parasites has emerged in the modern world. It is called oxygen and has appeared relatively recently; performed only in hospitals under the supervision of a physician. First, the patient is cleansed of the intestine using an enema, after which oxygen is injected by probe method. Once the stomach and rectum are filled with oxygen, the parasites die. With this method, the treated patient does not get any side effects, unlike the drug method.
Parasites: quick treatment with folk remedies
You can remove various parasites in the human body with folk remedies, even some doctors recommend some natural remedies to get rid of such pests.
The most famous treatment for parasites is pumpkin seeds. They contain many nutrients that are beneficial to humans and their intestinal microflora, but are destructive to the simplest pests. To finally recover, eat 20 grams of pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach in the morning and then drink a laxative after 30-40 minutes.
Vegetable oils can be used as natural laxatives, the most common being castor oils.
For the treatment of parasites with folk remedies in adults are used anthelmintic teas and after cleansing the intestines with an enema. To prepare the broth, you can take wormwood, cloves, celandine or tansy. They all have a sharp and bitter taste, so they make the environment in the gut unsuitable for pests.
However, beware of the herbs used, many of which are banned for pregnant women.
Diet for parasite prevention
Anyone who has ever encountered parasites knows how important rehabilitation and prevention are. For this, the doctor often prescribes a special diet. A separate meal is recommended when you eat carbohydrates and proteins separately from each other. Because if we eat them together, the stomach does not receive an accurate signal of what will need to be digested and what enzymes are needed for this.
Digestive food is great food for parasites, so they continue to live and thrive.
For example, meat, legumes can not be eaten with potatoes, pasta or bread. Better to combine them with vegetables. If you want to eat carbohydrates and proteins, take a 2-hour break between meals.
Can't give up your favorite sandwiches?
Eat them with grilled vegetables. Eat porridge often, they perfectly cleanse the body.
Cleansing the body
To cleanse and flush out unwanted parasites from the body, some plants that can often be found for sale in pharmacies, markets or supermarkets will help.
For the first method you will need green walnut shells. If you live in a hot region, you can probably find walnut trees and pick unripe fruit from them. Take 15 nuts, remove the green peel from them and pour vodka. Leave to infuse for a month, in a dark, dry place. Then dilute one drop of the tincture in half a glass of water and drink.
Gradually increase the dose by drop every day for seven days. Then also gradually increase the intake to 2 x teaspoons, take the drug several times a day. Continue to take 2 teaspoons of the tincture twice a day throughout the year. This is a fairly long course of cleansing, but very effective.
An easier way is to use cloves. They must be ground to a powder. Just take one teaspoon of this powder at a time. Gradually reduce the dose over ten days, at the end of the period you should reach one teaspoon.
Various fresh juices will help cleanse the intestines. For example, carrots, cucumbers, lemons, beets, apples - all these juices, when consumed on an empty stomach, create a certain environment in the stomach and remove parasites from the body.
