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 sucking his life and poisoning with his poison.
Types of parasites
From the point of view of medicine, parasites include unicellular and protozoa.Depending on the habitat, they are divided into exoparasites (lice, insects and others) and endoparasites.
Endoparasites have their subspecies:
- Larvae established by insects.
- The simplest (AMEBA, Lamblia).
- Helminths (worms or worms).
Infection
Each parasite has its own path of penetration in the human body.The most common way is to alien, that is, with the help of water or food.Many insects can carry parasite larvae, infecting the environment.Using raw water, uninsy and non -carefully cooked products, a person is infected with parasites.
Some species are transmitted directly when human contacts to a path-way 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.
Less popular transmission path of infection.In this case, insects that suffocate the blood are tolerated by parasites.Thus, they can be obtained after a mosquito bite or other insect.
The last way to reach parasites is the perpetuting path, the second name is active.Infection occurs by penetration of larvae through mucous membranes and skin.This happens in connection with contact with soil or infected water in a reservoir.
Symptoms
Parasites in the human body can live for a long time and not manifest.Symptoms, of course, will be, but are disguised from other diseases.This is why a person may not guess what is infected for a long time.
Symptoms usually appear depending on the location of the larvae, but the body may signal the 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 they can clog some organs;
- Joint and muscle pain.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 to the body, and the damage to the stomach walls contribute to the disturbance of digestion and the entry of food molecules in the blood;
- The appearance of granules.These are a kind of neoplasms that arise as a result of enveloping the body with the body of eggs of destroyed parasites;
- Dermatological manifestations;
- Anemia.Often people suffer from anemia precisely because of parasitic forms activities;
- Sharp fluctuation by weight;
- Mental disorders.In the life process, parasites are distinguished toxins that negatively affect the nervous system of the carrier.A consequence of body poisoning can be neurosis, depression, anxiety;
- Bruxism.It is a teeth grinding during sleep.This is the nervous system response to the appearance of foreign bodies.But this fact is not finally proved by science;
- Sleep disorder.As a rule, it occurs due to non -comfortable sensations.An example may be the cuts of your photos here, which lay eggs at night.Leaving the rectum, the cutter emits a toxin that causes severe itching;
- Dysbiosis;
- Cancer diseases;
- Chronic fatigue.It arises due to lack of nutrients, which negatively affects the state of the body;
- Respiratory diseases.Several parasites can live in the respiratory tract, causing your illness.Other parasites cause colds, moving through the respiratory system;
- Immunity disorders.Absorption of most parasitic vitamins leads to a weakening of body barrier functions and more likely to infect disease.
But there are also characteristic symptoms of the presence of parasites in a specific human organ.For example, the life of the parasites in the liver may indicate papillomas, the appearance of bald spots on the head, cracks in 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 duties and do not direct a person to special studies to identify parasites in the body.The most common analysis is the delivery of stool to worm 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 taking your eggs from brain to stool great?Most likely not.Even in the presence of worms in the gut, parasitic eggs cannot be found.
First of all, the doctor should perform a visual examination of the patient.From external signs, you can suspect the presence of human parasites.The easiest way to detect them is to pass a blood test designed to detect special antibodies in worms.
Description of human parasites
There are several dozen parasite species living in the human body.
Worms or helminths, these are a type of worms.Its size depends on the type, for example, ascarid females reach a size of 40 centimeters.Some species may exceed a length of 10 meters.The favorite habitat of worms is the intestines, but they are often found in other organs, even in the brain.
For example, ascarides larvae circulate throughout the body, collecting nutrients and returning to the intestines, where they grow and multiply.Often they live in the respiratory system.The presence of Ascaris in the human body is accompanied by a disorder of internal organ work, body poisoning, allergic manifestations and even an increase in temperature.
Among the representatives of the worms in the track is a pork chain that migrates to the brain through the blood.
This parasite enters the body through poorly processed meat products.This worm lives up to 20 years.
Tips usually develop in a child's body, but often found in adults.These worms are small in size, reach 1 inch long.Pinheiro egg distribution occurs on a contact path.The female comes out of the rectum and places eggs on the outer folds of the anus.The toxin, distinguished by the female, causing severe itching, which leads to the entrance of eggs into a person's hands and transferring it to all 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.
Toksokara- This is a type of parasite that lives in dogs.They enter the human body and also develop perfectly in it.Unlike these worms 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, as the larvae of these worms come out with the dog's feces.But also parasite eggs can spread from the dog's damp breath.
Alveococcus and echinococcusinfects the body in many ways.Its danger is that the larvae are transformed into cysts that may be into various internal organs.
The protozoan representative is Lambia.Like pinworms, giardias most often infect children.
Not only do they reduce the child's immunity, 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 safe from the infection.His secrecy leads to the fact that a person has been feeding parasites for years without suspecting.Compliance with personal hygiene, constant cleaning of damp housing and the implementation of the heat treatment of products to meat are not low infections prevention.It will be useful to undergo an examination of the doctor and go to the necessary tests every six months to prevent the spread of parasites.
