Parasites in humans: symptoms and treatment

When helminths in the human body are detected, it is absolutely not worth ignoring the symptoms of their presence and delaying treatment.It all depends on what type of parasite colonizes the body. This is why it is so important to pass tests for the presence of worms and further select treatment.

Parasites in the Human Body: Causes

Parasites appear in the human body for a variety of reasons.

Here's how to get into the body.

• Food (via the digestive system). The most common situation is drinking contaminated water or food.
• Contact and household (through household items). In practice, this means that other people or pets who carry helminths become infected.
• Broadcast. It represents the entry of helminth samples through blood-sucking insects.
• Percutaneously. This means that the parasite enters the body through the mucous membranes or skin.
• Parasites can also enter the body with dust.

Fish is a valuable food that is recommended for all people. However, along with the benefits, it can also be harmful, serving as a carrier for parasitic diseases. Therefore, you need to be aware of the harmful effects that fish parasites can have on humans.

In fact, the most common parasites in fish organisms are helminths. The risk group for worm infection includes fish such as bream, rodents, and silver bream, but it is important to understand that all fish can become infected with helminth samples. Boil the fish thoroughly to prevent infection. If this is not done, the likelihood of infection remains extremely high. The most dangerous is to eat fish raw.

The most popular worms in fish are:

• Schistocephamos. They are most commonly smelled, sometimes found in trout, salmon, and pink salmon. The worm is killed by careful heat treatment.
• Siberian / Chinese Fluke. It contains Amur chebachka, crucian carp, carp and yaz. If swallowed, it may provoke opisthorchiasis and clonorchiasis.
• Wide ribbon. It most commonly lives in the organisms of pike, crown, diamond and salmon fish.
• In humans, helminths that cause nanopietosis live in chum salmon, white sieve, gray and other fish species.
• Tapeworms that cause ligulosis. Carp fish (bream, silver bream, cockroach, rodents) are exposed to this disease. It is important to note that if you remove all the worms from the fish, its meat can be eaten - it will be completely safe.
• Worms from the trematode family. Excitation of metagonimiasis. They live roughly and in ducks.

We emphasize that all fish are completely safe for humans if cooked correctly. After high quality and thorough heat treatment, the fish can be consumed completely safely by both adults and children. Another way to disinfect fish is to freeze for a long time.

A product that, if not better than fish, has an equal popularity with it - meat, of course. It is popular not only with humans but also with worms.

The following types of helminths live in meat:

• nematodes. Found in pork or chicken. Provoke gnatostomosis;
• Taurus tapeworm. It is found in boiled beef below. Excites teniarinhoses;
• Swine tapeworm. You can live in bottom-cooked pork. Provoke tennis;
• Toxocara nematodes. Caught in the liver of chickens. Irritating to toxocariasis;
• Nematodes. They live in bottom-cooked pork. May cause trichinosis.

Parasites in the human body: symptoms

There are 14 main symptoms of the presence of helminths in the human body:

• Chronic fatigue. It contains a number of signals, such as: poor memory; indifference; tension; low concentration; flu-like symptoms. These problems occur during both nutritional deficiencies and the ideal diet due to the difficult absorption of vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates, as well as proteins and fats. As a result, the body's constant poisoning with parasites is greatly increased.
• Pain syndrome in muscles and joints. Worms are able to migrate. Their relocation is accompanied by pain, which is often seen as a painful consequence of arthritis. Abnormal inflammatory processes in the joints can be the result of the body’s defensive reaction to the presence of helminth samples in it, as well as the tissue damage of worms.
• Weight problems. Worms can cause both weight gain and weight loss. The differences in both directions will be quite significant. Low weight is caused by anorexia, abdominal pain and indigestion. Obesity appears as a result of helminthic invasion. The feeling of hunger causes a lack of nutrients with an acceptable amount of "empty calories" as well as toxic effects on the metabolism.
• Irritable stomach syndrome. Parasites in the body can trigger an inflammatory process in the intestinal membranes, leading to a number of negative manifestations as well as impaired nutrient absorption. Fat gets into the colon instead of being absorbed in the small intestine, causing problems such as cramps, diarrhea and constipation. Excess fat is found in a stool test.
• Diarrhea. The chain of helminths forms a substance similar to prostaglandins. They provoke frequent watery stools. It is important to understand that diarrhea is not only a reaction of the body but also a sign of the presence of worms.
• constipation. Certain helminth patterns may block the work of certain organs. For example, they can block the bile ducts (causing jaundice and liver problems) or the intestines (causing constipation).
• Irritation, persistently bad mood. Residues of vital activity of toxic substances and worms negatively affect the central nervous system. As a result: depression, anxiety and constant excitement. The practice recognizes many cases where the elimination of parasites has resulted in significant changes in human character and made it calmer.
• Inflammatory processes of the respiratory system. Diverse parasites "permeate" the entire human body, including the respiratory system. Symptoms of respiratory worms include runny nose, cough, sputum formation and fever. In practice, even a sinusitis was caused by awakened migratory worms. Strongyloidosis and ascariasis are also terms of pneumonia.
• Swelling and gasification. It is provoked by the inflammatory process in the small intestine. If worms are not eradicated in time, bloating and gas formation can manifest to varying degrees for months or even years.
• Sleep problems, gnashing of teeth during sleep. The origin of Bruxism is still a mystery today. One variant is just the body’s reaction to poisoning and the excitation of the nervous system by parasites.
• Allergic reactions. This is how worms get into the intestinal wall, so large molecules of unprocessed food get into the bloodstream. The body responds to this by increasing the production of blood cells (eosinophils), which in turn triggers allergies. The worms themselves are allergenic.
• Oncological diseases. Helms living in the body contribute to its systemic intoxication, nutritional deficiencies, and immune system problems. They can also trigger a long inflammatory process. Well, all of this results in the formation of an oncological tumor.
• Severe skin problems. Helminths can provoke hives, rashes, eczema, hatching, acne, papillomas, and other skin conditions.
• Security system crashes. Worms severely weaken the defense system, reduce the production of protective immunoglobulins, and trigger allergies. As a result of their activities, they create the conditions for various infections and the intestines become the home of dysbiosis. Chronic colds and allergies are a likely consequence of getting helminth into the human body.

These are not all signs - there are many others, but they are very varied and occur depending on the type of individual, the duration of the infection, and the stage of organ damage. Symptoms can be extremely severe (such as migraine, heart attack, asthma, and urinary tract inflammation).

Parasites in the Human Body: Diagnosis

The human body can accommodate dozens of worms at once. Therefore, therapy should be initiated with a diagnosis of the disease. Modern medicine uses a number of methods to diagnose organisms in the presence of different helminth samples.

Stool is most often analyzed. However, there are other methods, such as:

• Immunological - determination of antigens and antibodies against parasites by blood test.
• Histological coprogram - detailed examination of the body, larvae and eggs of helminths using a high-precision microscope. It allows you to find out the most effective drug complex for your therapy.
• Hemoscanning. Blood test with a 2, 000-fold increase in a drop. The method makes it possible to detect the presence of fungi, bacteria and other parasites.
• Electroacupuncture. The method is implemented with a special tool. It is little known and completely unpopular because it can significantly damage the body. Nevertheless, it allows the identification of the presence of worms in the body and the selection of the most effective therapeutic method.

Parasites in the Human Body: Medication

You can eliminate parasites with two groups of drugs:

synthetic chemotherapeutic drugs;

preparations made from herbal substances.

Let's look at the most popular:

• Levamisole is extremely effective against pinworms and roundworms. The effectiveness of Levamisole is due to a violation of the bioenergy of the helminth samples.
• Mebendazole - eliminates trichinella, pinworms, hookworms, whipworms and roundworms, as well as larvae of individual cestodes. The mechanism of action consists in micro-altering the synthesis and slowing down the formation of ATP.
• Albendazole - complex effect. It disrupts the activity of the worm’s cellular digestive system, blocks the movement of organelles in their cells, and blocks the use of glucose. It eliminates pinworms, roundworms, strongyloids, trichinella, whipworms and hookworms. It is also able to confront the larval forms of the porcine tapeworm and echinococcus.
• Diethylcarbamazine - used in systemic invasion and is expressed as round filamentous worms in the lymphatic system of humans. The active components of diethylcarbamazine cause dysfunctions in the neuromuscular system of parasites, leading to their death.
• Niclosamide - used to treat infections in the gastrointestinal tract with tapeworms. The mechanism of action is to induce intestinal disease in helminth samples and to reduce their resistance to gastrointestinal enzymes.
• Praziquantel is prescribed to patients infected with trematodes, cestodes and schistosomes. The active components of the drug contribute to the overall muscle contraction of helminths, which further flows into paralysis and death of parasites.
• Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum agent. It is prescribed to treat diseases such as strongyloidosis, filariasis, and scabies. In its composition, it contains substances that have a negative effect on parasites, paralyze their bodies and lead to their death.

Parasites in the human body: treatment with folk remedies

In addition to medication, you can try alternative methods. The main advantage of such treatment is the complete absence of damage.

Consider the most popular folk methods for treating worms:

• Healing tea. It is used to cleanse the intestines, liver and other organs. To make it, you need to mix the oak bark, wormwood and tansy in equal parts. Then take 5 grams of the mixture, pour 500 ml of boiling water on them and let it boil for 12 hours. After that, the drink is ready. To be consumed in the morning, 100 ml (for children, 50 ml). The cure is 21 days. Tea not only helps eliminate helminths, but also improves the condition of the organs.
• Pumpkin seeds. Take 300 grams of peeled seeds with a clean film that separates the seeds and peel. It is imperative to eat seeds with this layer. 10-20 grams should be eaten on an empty stomach. You must repeat the reception every other day. The therapy lasts for a week.
• Sometimes the test for the presence of helminths is negative, however, a person experiences weakness, dark circles under the eyes, and also suffers from skin problems. These are sure signs of the presence of worms in the liver, lymph or blood. In this situation, the therapy looks a little different. Mix 10 ml of aloe oil and juice and add half a lemon. Add olive oil for the first 3 months and then switch to corn oil. In the third stage of treatment, you should switch to using grape seed extract. The course of treatment is quite long - 9 months. The mixture should be drunk in the morning. Therapy, while long-term, is quite cost-effective and affordable.
• Pomegranate bark. However, extreme caution should be exercised as overdose is associated with poisoning. The bark is taken as a decoction. It is made as follows. Pour 10 grams of dried crust with 250 ml of boiled water and boil for 10 minutes. The product should be taken three times a day, 3 ml each before a meal. Oak bark is effective not only in removing parasites but also in cleaning the liver.
• Chanterelle. These fungi are also very effective against worms. They are used as an infusion. To prepare, pour 100 grams of fresh chopped mushrooms with 250 ml of alcohol and stick in the refrigerator for 21 days. We advise you to shake the mixture from time to time. Once the product is ready, 5 ml should be taken at bedtime each day. The treatment course is one month. We emphasize that it is not necessary to filter the product after its preparation. The device not only helps eliminate worms but also boosts immunity.
