Parasites- These are the simplest types of bacteria that feed on the nutrients of another organism and parasitize it.They feed on finished organic substances produced by others.
Currently, there are more than twenty species of parasitic life forms that can live in the bodies of animals or humans.
All of them can enter our body and cause a variety of diseases and infections.Very often, such bacteria are found in children, as they do not have such high immunity and have a lot of contact with animals and some dirty things.
Remember how a small child often puts everything in his mouth?
These items may contain dangerous parasites.This article will discuss the classification of parasites in the human body, how infectious diseases are treated and what you need to do to prevent harmful bacteria from entering your body.
Parasitic bacteria in the human body, in which organs can they live?
There are simple bacteria in the human body and on its skin;they can be unicellular or multicellular.
Parasites that live on the body are called ectoparasites.This type includes bed bugs, lice and similar scabies pathogens.Others are called endoparasites because they live in the human body.These include amoebas, worms and insect larvae.
The latter are the most dangerous, while the former are simply unpleasant.
Internal parasites often cause serious illness and are more difficult to eliminate than external parasites.Medicine has already found many ways to get rid of them, and also has extensive experience in treating parasites in the human body.
Each of the parasites has its own ideal place in the human body, where it has all the requirements for a parasitic lifestyle, i.e. the necessary nutrients for growth and reproduction.Some of them can move as they grow.
The body's own parasites are most commonly found in the intestines, muscles, blood, lungs, heart and liver.Some species even live in nerve tissue.Ectopic parasites live on the skin.
How can parasites enter the body?
First way- This is the entry of bacteria into the body with food and water.Sometimes it is infected or contaminated, so microorganisms begin to multiply there.Insects such as flies and cockroaches also transmit many harmful bacteria.Some foods are contaminated to begin with - raw fish or unprocessed meat.Farm animal meat is very often infected with parasites, which is why it is not eaten raw.
Second- Contact and household.In this case, parasites are transmitted from humans, through household items or animals.Very often infectious bacteria are transmitted by street animals - dogs, cats, birds and rats.
Third- Transmission through blood by mosquitoes.This rarely happens in our country and many other regions;Infected mosquitoes most often live in hot countries.
The fourth is the independent entry of some insects into the human body.They gnaw through the skin, penetrate muscle tissue or blood and then get to where the best living conditions exist for them.
What symptoms are observed in parasite infestation?
Parasites in the human body can cause completely different symptoms - from insomnia, which often goes unnoticed, to skin lesions.For example, ectoparasites often cause skin lesions and scabies.Endoparasites that live in the lungs often cause coughing.If they are in the intestines, constipation, vomiting or diarrhea may occur.
However, the general signs of the presence of parasites in humans are as follows: 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 for worms.
Let's look at the symptoms of different types of parasites:
- The most common parasites in humans are worms or roundworms.They cause intestinal discomfort and stomach pain, irritability, insomnia and anxiety attacks and sometimes dizziness.They are relatively easy to recognize and can be seen in feces or test positive for worm eggs;
- Next comes a pretty dangerous parasite – the tapeworm.It often causes abdominal discomfort or pain, diarrhea, food cravings (you eat a lot without gaining weight), liver pain, and worms in your feces;
- If a person has pinworms, they may notice loss of appetite, insomnia, nervousness, and itching in the anus.
How dangerous are parasites?
They disrupt the functioning of organs, cause inflammatory processes in tissue and destroy it.They produce toxic substances that destroy the body.
A pest that parasitizes you can cause vitamin deficiency, general weakening and reduced immunity in both adults and children.The presence of such a parasite in children is very dangerous as it greatly slows down their development.Very often it is 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 do you treat parasites?
To get rid of parasites, you must first consult a doctor.He will prescribe you a specific medication or another, more natural remedy.
There is also treatment with folk remedies, but it is recommended to carry it out in symbiosis with medications.
Medical treatment
Doctors have long found an effective treatment against parasites in humans.
The most effective and widely used pest control drugs are those based on synthetic components.All of them are very effective in treating worms and various roundworms.
Some medications are available in tablet form, others in other forms, such as liquid form.The dosage is determined solely by the doctor;It is not possible to do it yourself without side effects.In addition, medications differ depending on the age of the patient for whom they are intended.
In the modern world, another way to cure people with parasites has appeared.It's called oxygen and it appeared relatively recently;It is only carried out in hospitals under medical supervision.First, the patient is cleaned with an enema, then oxygen is administered via tube.After the stomach and rectum are filled with oxygen, the parasites die.With this method, the cured patient does not experience any side effects, in contrast to the medication method.
Parasites: quick treatment with folk remedies
Various parasites in the human body can be removed using folk remedies;Even some doctors recommend some natural remedies to get rid of such pests.
The best-known remedy for treating parasites is pumpkin seeds.They contain many nutrients that are useful for humans and their intestinal flora, but are harmful to protozoan pests.To be completely cured, eat 20 grams of pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach in the morning and drink a laxative 30-40 minutes later.
Vegetable oils can be used as natural laxatives, the most common being castor oil.
To treat parasites with folk remedies in adults, anthelmintic teas are used, followed by intestinal cleansing with an enema.To prepare a decoction, you can take wormwood, cloves, celandine or tansy.They all have a pungent and bitter taste and therefore make the environment in the intestines unsuitable for pests.
However, be careful about the herbs you use, many of which are forbidden for pregnant women.
Parasite prevention diet
Anyone who has ever come into contact with parasites knows how important rehabilitation and prevention are.For this purpose, the attending physician often prescribes a special diet.They recommend separate meals, where you eat carbohydrates and proteins separately.Because if we eat them together, the stomach does not receive a precise signal about what needs to be digested and which enzymes are needed for it.
Incompletely digested food is an excellent source of nutrition for parasites to continue living and developing.
For example, meat and legumes should not be eaten with potatoes, pasta or bread.It is better to combine them with vegetables.If you want to consume carbohydrates and proteins, you should take a break of 2 hours between intakes.
Can't live without your favorite sandwiches?
Eat them with grilled vegetables.Eat porridge often, it perfectly cleanses the body.
Cleansing the body
To cleanse yourself and remove unwanted parasites from the body, some plants can help, which are often found for sale in pharmacies, markets or supermarkets.
For the first method you will need the shells of green walnuts.If you live in a hot region, you can probably find walnut trees and collect unripe fruits from them.Take 15 nuts, remove the green shell and pour vodka.Leave to steep in a dark, dry place for a month.Then dilute a drop of tincture in half a glass of water and drink.
Gradually increase the dosage by one drop each day for seven days.Then gradually increase the intake to 2 teaspoons and take the medicine several times a day.Then take 2 teaspoons of the tincture twice daily for a year.This is quite a long cleanse but very effective.
An easier option is to use clove seeds.They need to be ground into a powder.Just take one and a half teaspoon of this powder.Reduce the dosage gradually over ten days, reaching one teaspoon at the end of the period.
Various freshly squeezed juices help cleanse the intestines.For example, carrot, cucumber, lemon, beetroot, apple - when consumed on an empty stomach, all of these juices create a certain environment in the stomach and remove parasites from the body.
