Greetings to all, dear readers! Today, the topic will be slippery and not very pleasant, but very relevant. I decided to dedicate it to parasites that are common “inhabitants” of our body. Just imagine that there is a turbulent life going on in your blood, in your intestines, under your skin. B-rr! Man shudders at the thought.
But today, it has been scientifically proven that half of the planet’s inhabitants carry worms, which have about 200 species and “varieties”. That is, in theory, it also belongs to the risk group. We donate tests, you see, not so often. We live for ourselves, we go to work, to cafes and movies, and we seem to have a good time. . .
Please wait. OK? And the chronic fatigue and the strange wet cough that hasn’t gone away for months, no disturbances, diarrhea and constipation and other interruptions in the gastrointestinal tract? Same! But this is one sign of the presence of worms. Parasites in the human body cause various symptoms. I also tried to summarize them in today’s publication.
Long, round, flat, and more
What human parasites do you know? Worms? Rather, their generalized name. But the varieties have huge slippery knots. Let’s take it apart so we know who we’re going to fight.
- Spherical worms are the largest group in the digestive tract. These include spindle worms, side scrapers, whipworms, pinworms, and a few others. Their photos can be seen "in stock" on the Internet. They come from poorly cooked meat and fish because of the infamous unwashed hands and unprocessed and dirty fruits and vegetables. If you have a cat or dog at home, the likelihood of worms is much higher.
- The second type is the tapeworm: broad tapeworm, echinococcus, porcine and bovine tapeworm. These helminth samples are much larger than the previous ones. Part of the broad tapeworm can be more than 25 meters! Such worms can eat the whole body, absorbing the substances you need with their surface. They do not have a certain abode in the body as they move freely throughout the body, penetrating both the brain and the bone marrow. You can become infected by eating poorly fried meat or half-fried fish. That’s why I never buy these products in spontaneous markets, “out of hand, ” because the sellers at these stores obviously haven’t heard of any veterinary inspections.
- Subcutaneous parasites (nematodes, dirofilaria) live under human skin. In hot countries like Africa or India, you can catch them from flies, mosquitoes or bugs. They are often seen: you see a strange bulge on the skin that, when pressed, slides off from under your finger.
- Fluke worms: fascilopsis, liver fluke, and others. Their habitat is the intestines, liver, pancreas. The source is unboiled contaminated water, lightly salted, raw, poorly cooked fish.
- Tissue worms. They are located and parasitized in various tissues of our body, muscles, brain, connective tissues. You can also catch the infection from wild and domestic animals: pigs, cats, horses, ducks and chickens.
Parasites in the Human Body: Symptoms
Theoretically, each of the above types can execute their invisible attacks from within at this moment, and you don’t know either. Many live with worms and literally allow them to devour themselves for years until a doctor’s random analysis or physical examination discovers their eggs in their analyzes. These are silent pests that not only feed on you but also have time to multiply and release toxins.
I just wanted to buy a test coupon, didn't I? But first, check for indirect signs of their presence. Just don’t panic right away and don’t diagnose yourself. Many of these symptoms overlap with other health conditions.
So you probably have worms if:
- You are suddenly anemic. Has previously normal hemoglobin levels been significantly reduced? This may indicate that helminths are stealing iron from you.
- He often feels unwell for no good reason and has strange abdominal pains. Detailed ultrasound examination of infected patients reveals a number of microcracks, ulcers, wounds on the intestinal mucosa and other organs. This can cause inflammation and pain.
- Now diarrhea, now constipation. Do you eat as usual and the nature of your bowel movements has noticeably changed? Constipation can be caused by giant worms or worms woven into small spheres. They, like a cork, close the feces outlet. Well, diarrhea is provoked by microhelminthic samples, which destroy the sodium and chlorides that are responsible for the normal consistency of the stool, diluting it.
- It breaks the body, bones and joints. Worms can cause inflammation in the periarticular muscles and, as a result, cause discomfort.
- Acne, eczema, warts and other skin problems, as well as nail and hair deterioration, are caused by toxins released by parasites. The liver is unable to process so many harmful substances that it affects the skin and hair.
- Excessive leanness or rapid weight gain. Worms lose a lot of useful substances from us, losing them - we lose significantly, but they also eat sugar - and because of its lack, we sometimes snack and gain weight.
- Gas release and bloated stomach.
- Tooth grinding. It is said to be one of the most obvious signs because in a dream our body is relaxed and asleep and the worms are not sleeping, so there is an unconscious reaction - to gnashing our teeth and creaking at them.
- Weak immunity. Its decline is due to the fact that the body has abandoned its defense against all parasites and simply has no strength for other viruses coming from outside.
- Drowsiness, lethargy, apathy, and irritability with a normal diet and rest. Worms stealthily steal almost all the necessary minerals and nutrients from us: potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium. Their deficiency affects the nervous system and well-being.
- Itching. It usually intensifies at night when worms accumulate in the anus to lay eggs. Doctors say we can meet the worm at night "face to face", catching them in their dirty cases.
- Incomprehensible cough without a cold.
Well, did you find 4-5 symptoms? To be honest, neither am I. And that only means one thing - it’s time to go to the hospital for a therapist, infectious disease specialist, immunologist or parasitologist. After a detailed examination, the necessary medications are prescribed.
Parasites in the Human Body: Expulsion
Prepare to take care of the whole family. The rest of the household is also likely to be infected as the parasites spread very quickly through personal hygiene items, household items and utensils.
Although all anthelmintics are sold freely and without a prescription in pharmacies, you do not have to choose them yourself. Some of them only work on one type of worm and are completely useless to the others. In addition, these drugs have many contraindications.
Garlic parasite prophylaxis
Treatment with folk remedies, which was used by our grandmothers when there were no pills and pharmacies, was also widespread.
Doctors now recommend that such home treatment be combined with medical prescriptions, so we use all the herbs described below for prevention only.
- Anise infusion is good for hot bath infusion. After a session of about half an hour, it gets rid of a small handful of worms. They just can’t stand the pungent scent of this herb penetrating through your skin, but you have to put up with it a little bit.
- Sorrel kills parasites with acid. Therefore, feel free to chew the washed leaves in spring and summer.
- Ordinary raw pumpkin seeds are an excellent helminth.
- Drink poured oak bark (200 ml - 2 tbsp).
- Tansy also has a good antiparasitic effect. To prepare the broth, pour a tablespoon of flowers with a glass of boiling water and stick to a closed thermos for 4 hours. Take a healing mixture, previously filtered, 1 tbsp. spoon 4 times daily before meals.
- Eat more garlic, onions and horseradish. Worms have a similar sharp smell of death and at the same time correct their shattered immunity.
Don’t think that one fine day, every parasite will leave your body in a friendly way of its own free will. They will live and feed indoors for a very long time, so it is better to start chasing them now, otherwise in a few years gray, earthy skin, brittle hair, digestive problems and any deficiency will get useful minerals. They eat alive, so don’t let them do it!
