Most people don't even think about what is inside your body of someone living. We are talking about parasites. Someone who thinks that because in his house no animals, but at the hands washed after each exit to the street, the risk of invasion is minimal. This is not so. According to health statistics, parasites in the human body and are present in nearly 50% of cases. Worms, for example, are the oldest creatures parasites in the human body. They are so adapted to life inside people who are often their presence does not manifest itself and the media it seems that they are infected, are asymptomatic.
Actually, the symptoms have always been there, it is important to see the warning signs. Today we will look at what symptoms indicate the presence of infection, how to take action to prevent infestations and how the treatment can be directed against the parasites, if they are detected.
The symptoms of infection
The biggest problem from the point of view of the detection of parasites in the body, – the diversity of symptoms that can be confusing, not only for the person but also the doctor, the patient asked for advice. Depending on the species, location and life cycle of parasites, which are shown differently. Sometimes people don't notice most of the symptoms, stopping the attention on just one (for example, pain in the lungs). Due to the patients being treated for established disease, if he came, if not sent home for lack of the clinical picture.
It is therefore important that you see a picture of your overall health, to mention a comprehensive change in the country. Medicine the stresses of more than ten signs of infection. Consider these symptoms in the form of a table.

The increase in weight associated with the fact that the body on the contrary, loss of nutrients, people are constantly experiencing a rise in blood sugar and hungry. |
| Sleep disorders | Frequent awakenings, nervous and light sleep are often associated with parasitic infections.

The above symptoms very rarely appear in a moment for this to happen, parasitic infections need to be very strong. But the combination of the three or four things are happening everywhere. Look at the example of certain infections:
- Ascarids – intestinal pain, disorders of the chair, disturbed functioning of the liver and pancreas.

The diagnosis of parasites
If a person find yourself or your loved ones some of the above symptoms, it is recommended to examine to be sure that it detects the parasites in the body. For this you can contact our General practitioner (or paediatrician, if we are talking about a child) to the appropriate destination. Usually the officer writes out directions for the analysis of blood, saliva and stool.
Modern medicine also offers immunological testing for parasitic infections, as well as comprehensive tests to reveal a specific group of parasites. Unfortunately, this complex analysis, which are paid and that they can go to private clinics. However, the results point definitely to the specific types of pests, which allows you to determine the appropriate treatment.
There is no cure, as effectively affect all groups of parasites. In appointing the drug must be considered in the development stage of the pest, as drugs that act on the eggs, can not hit adults. So, for start the therapy, once they have the analysis and their definitions. Usually doctors use several classes of medications, which we will describe below.
The treatment of parasitic infestations
Anti-parasitic drug, which exist in the present, they have a wide range of activities, i.e. covers the many types of parasitic organisms in human beings. However, as we noted above, every drug has a specific activity, and is assigned after the diagnosis. However, in the medical Arsenal, in the case of infection is about a dozen vehicles (and their equivalents) that have been proven as safe and effective.
The first group of drugs that are used in the detection in the body of round worms, nematodes, helminths. The medications that are prescribed if the person is infected with these parasites such as pinworms, ascarids, vlasoglavy, Trichinella, and the like.
Another group of drugs that is effective against tape worms, cestodes tapeworms. These include the broad tapeworm, trematodes, dwarf, beef and pork tapeworm – these parasites, which are the most common.
It is understandable that when infected with parasites of one family member, with a probability of 99% of the other household members who are also carriers of these pests. Therefore, in order to carry out diagnosis and treatment is recommended for the whole family. The same is true for a small group of people who closely communicates with each other (kindergarten, for example).
Traditional methods for eliminating parasites
