When detecting helminths in the human body, it is not worth ignoring the symptoms of their presence and not categorically delaying their 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.
They can get into the body in the following ways:
- Food (via the digestive tract). The most common situation is: consuming contaminated water or food;
- Communication and household (via household items). In practice, this means that other people or pets who carry helminths are infected;
- Spread. Represents the entry of helminth samples through blood-sucking insects;
- Percutaneous. This means that the parasite enters the body through the mucous membranes or skin;
- Parasites can enter the body along with the dust.
Fish is a valuable food that is recommended to 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, of the parasites living in fish organisms, only helminths are the most common. 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:
- Schistocefamos. They are most commonly smelled, sometimes found in trout, salmon, and pink salmon. The worm is killed by careful heat treatment;
- Chinese fluke. It contains Amur chebachka, crucian carp, carp and yaz. Once it enters the human body, it can trigger opisthorchiasis and clonorchiasis;
- Wide ribbon. It most commonly lives in the organisms of pike, crown, rhombus, and salmon;
- In humans, helminths that induce nanophietosis live in chum salmon, white cod, gray and other fish species;
- Tapeworms that are pathogens of ligulosis. Carp fish (bream, silver bream, cockroach, rodents) are exposed to this disease. It’s 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 perfectly safe for humans if cooked correctly. After high quality and thorough heat treatment, the fish can be consumed with absolute safety by both adults and children. Another way to disinfect fish is to freeze for a long time.
A product that, if not higher than fish, is on the same footing in popularity with it is, of course, meat. 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;
- Cattle tapeworm. It is found in boiled beef below. Excites teniarinhoses;
- Pig 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 several signals, for example: poor memory; indifference; tension; low concentration; flu-like symptoms. These problems are due to both nutritional deficiencies and ideal nutrition due to the difficult absorption of vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates, as well as proteins and fats. Because of this, 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 may be the result of the body’s protective response in the presence of helminth samples, 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 triggers nutrient deficiencies with an acceptable amount of "empty calories" and toxic effects on 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 the stool analysis;
- 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 may 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 has made it calmer;
- Respiratory inflammatory processes.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. One of the terms for strongyloidosis and ascariasis is also pneumonia;
- Puffiness and gas formation.It is provoked by the inflammatory process in the small intestine. If worms are not eradicated in time, bloating and gas formation can occur 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 only the reaction of the body 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 systematic poisoning, nutritional deficiencies, and immune system problems. They can also trigger a long inflammatory process. Well, all of this results in an oncological tumor;
- Severe skin problems.Helminths can provoke the appearance of urticaria, rash, eczema, boils, pimples, papillomas, and other skin diseases;
- Protection system failure.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 up to 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 in 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: drug treatment
You can eliminate parasites with two groups of drugs:
- synthetic chemotherapeutic drugs;
- preparations made from herbal substances.
The most appropriate drug to remove parasites from the body is recommended by a specialist based on the results of the test.
Parasites in the human body: treatment with folk remedies
In addition to medication, you can also 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 dance in equal parts. Then take 5 grams of the mixture and pour 500 ml of boiling water on it, and let it boil for 12 hours. The drink will be ready then. 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 course lasts one week;
- Healing mixture.It happens that tests for the presence of helminths are negative, however, the 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 not only effective in eliminating parasites but also in cleaning the liver;
- Chanterelle.These fungi are also very effective against worms. They are used as an infusion. To prepare it, 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. After the product is ready, 5 ml should be taken at bedtime each day. The treatment course is one month. We focus on the fact that the product does not need to be filtered after preparation. The device not only helps eliminate worms, but also increases immunity.
