Parasites- They are the simplest types of bacteria that live off the nutrients of another organism, parasitizing it.They feed on ready-made organic substances produced by third parties.
At the moment, there are more than twenty species of parasitic life forms that can live in the body of animals or humans.
All of them can enter our body and cause a large number of diseases and infections.These bacteria are often found in children, as they do not have such a high level of immunity and have a lot of contact with animals and some dirty things.
Remember how a small child usually puts everything in their mouth?
These items may contain dangerous parasites.This article explains the classification of parasites in the human body, how to treat infectious diseases, 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?
In the human body and on the skin there are simple bacteria;they can be unicellular or multicellular.
Parasites that live in the body are called ectoparasites.This type includes bed bugs, lice, and similar scabies pathogens.Others are called endoparasites because they live inside 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 ideal place in the human body, where it has all the conditions for a parasitic lifestyle, that is, the nutrients necessary for growth and reproduction.Some of them may move as they grow.
Most often, endogenous parasites can be found in the intestines, muscles, blood, lungs, heart and liver.Some species even live in nervous tissues.Ectopic parasites live in 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 start to multiply there.Insects like flies and cockroaches also carry a lot of harmful bacteria.For starters, some foods are contaminated – raw fish or unprocessed meat.Cattle meat is often infected with parasites, so people do not eat it raw.
Second- contact and address.In this case, the parasites are transmitted by humans, through household objects or animals.Often, infectious bacteria are transmitted by stray animals - dogs, cats, birds and rats.
Third- blood transmission by mosquitoes.In our country and in many other regions, this rarely happens;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 to where there are better living conditions for them.
What symptoms are observed in the presence of parasites?
Parasites in the human body can cause completely different symptoms - from insomnia, which is often imperceptible, to skin formations.For example, ectoparasites often cause skin lesions and scabies.Endoparasites that live in the lungs often cause coughing.If they are in your intestines, you may experience constipation, vomiting, or diarrhea.
But the general signs of the presence of parasites in humans are the following: insomnia, general fatigue, headaches and sometimes allergic reactions.People often 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 upset and stomach pain, irritability, insomnia and anxiety attacks, and sometimes dizziness.They are fairly easy to detect and can be seen in stool or tested positive for worm eggs;
- Next comes a rather dangerous parasite - the tapeworm.It often causes abdominal discomfort or pain, diarrhea, voracious appetite (you eat a lot without gaining weight), liver pain and worms in the stool;
- 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 tissues and destroy them.They produce toxic substances that destroy the body.
A parasitic pest can cause a lack of vitamins, general weakening and decreased immunity in adults and children.The presence of such a parasite in children is very dangerous, as it greatly slows down their development.It is often difficult to get rid of parasites in the body, as they tend to adapt to the environment and do not want to leave the house.
How to treat parasites?
To get rid of parasites, you must first consult a doctor.He will prescribe a specific medication or another more natural remedy.
There is also treatment with folk remedies, but it is recommended to carry it out in conjunction with medications.
Medical treatment
Doctors have long discovered an effective treatment against parasites in humans.
The most effective and widespread medicines to eliminate pests are those based on synthetic components.All of them are very effective in treating worms and various roundworms.
Some medications come in tablet form, while others come in other forms, such as liquid.Only the doctor determines the dosage;It is not possible to do this alone without side effects.Furthermore, medications differ depending on the age of the patients they are intended for.
In the modern world, another way to cure people with parasites has emerged.It is called oxygen and appeared relatively recently;it is carried out only in hospitals under the supervision of a doctor.First, the patient is cleansed with an enema and then oxygen is administered by tube.After filling the stomach and rectum with oxygen, the parasites die.With this method, the cured patient does not experience side symptoms, unlike the medication method.
Parasites: quick treatment with folk remedies
Various parasites in the human body can be removed with folk remedies;Even some doctors recommend some natural remedies to get rid of these pests.
The most famous remedy for treating parasites is pumpkin seeds.They contain many nutrients that are beneficial to humans and their intestinal microflora, but are harmful to protozoan pests.To get 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 colon cleansing with an enema.To prepare a decoction, you can take wormwood, cloves, celandine or tansy.They all have a strong and bitter taste and therefore make the intestine environment unsuitable for pests.
However, be careful with the herbs you use, many of them are prohibited for pregnant women.
Diet to prevent parasites
Anyone who has ever encountered the presence of parasites knows how important rehabilitation and prevention are.To this end, the attending physician often prescribes a special diet.They recommend separate meals, when you eat carbohydrates and proteins separately.Because if we eat together, the stomach does not receive an exact signal about what needs to be digested and which enzymes are needed for this.
Incompletely digested food is an excellent way for parasites to feed, so that they continue to live and develop.
For example, meat and vegetables should not be eaten with potatoes, pasta or bread.It is best to combine them with vegetables.If you want to eat carbohydrates and proteins, you must take a 2-hour break between taking them.
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 yourself and expel 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 warm region, you can probably find walnut trees and harvest green berries from them.Take 15 walnuts, remove the green skin and pour in vodka.Leave to infuse for a month in a dark, dry place.Then, dilute a drop of the tincture in half a glass of water and drink it.
Gradually increase the dosage by one drop per day for seven days.After that, gradually increase your intake to 2 teaspoons, take the medicine a few times a day.Then continue taking 2 teaspoons of the tincture twice a day for a year.This is a rather long, but very effective cleansing course.
An easier way is to use clove seeds.They need to be ground into powder.Just take one and a half teaspoons of this powder.Over the course of ten days, gradually reduce the dosage, by the end of the period it should reach one teaspoon.
Various freshly squeezed juices 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.
