Parasitic diseases, diseases caused by protozoa, helminth and insects. According to statistics, from the infection to suffer every fourth inhabitant of the planet. In Russia every year there are almost 1.5 million cases of infection.
Infection is possible by drinking contaminated water, vegetables and fruits, herbs, buy fresh fish and meat in "illegal" spots, where there is no certificate of veterinary inspection, when communicating with Pets. The risk of parasitic infestations, that in the absence of treatment is the slow destruction of the body.
Types of parasites in the human body
Organisms, parasites in the human body are divided into true and false. The first group is from pinworms, Giardia and other parasites, for which parasitism is a prerequisite for existence; the second those that accidentally enter the body and starts to parasitize.
Each of the pathogens has the tools to help you to gain a foothold in the human body. This is the suction cup, the plate-tooth hooks, which constantly damage the mucous membranes. At the microscopic or sizeable destroy the useful bacteria that poison the body with their waste, and suppress the body's immune system.
Symptoms of parasites in humans
Because of the different pathogenetic mechanisms of the effects of parasites on the body the symptoms can be similar for infectious and surgical diseases. So, for the final diagnosis, physicians needed the results of laboratory tests.
Doctors typical symptoms of infection of helminth and other parasites. The most striking of them.
Allergic
- Itching ;
- Symptoms of urticaria;
- The development of pseudo-allergies after bathing, sunbathing, drinking sodas, sweets and cakes;
- Spontaneously arising and subsiding attacks of bronchospasm;
- Perianal itching, perioral dermatitis, cheilitis;
- Hair loss;
- Febrile syndrome;
- Education pustular rash.
The gastrointestinal tract
In chronic course of.
- Nausea, vomiting;
- Rapid weight loss;
- Diarrhea or intestinal obstruction;
- The lack or loss of appetite;
- Pain when moving the tongue;
- The development of pain in the near-umbilical and epigastric regions;
- Inability to eating fatty;
- Increase salivation;
- An enlarged liver.
Astenovegetative
Observed in the toxocariasis infection, hymenolepiasis, and cysticercosis, trichocephalosis.
- Sleep disorders;
- Irritability and fatigue;
- Hypochromic iron deficiency anemia;
- Worse performance on the background of the deterioration of memory, attention;
- Instability of blood pressure;

Causes parasites in the human body
Infecting the other is due to a lack of hygiene or violation of technology of preparation of dishes. A list of the main causes of parasites are:
- The use of dirty vegetables, fruits, boiled water;
- Illiterate cooking;
- If, in accordance with sanitary regulations, catering vendors;
- Contact with animals;
- Touching the handles of public doors, rail transport;
- Swimming in waters that are contaminated with schistosome;
- The presence of flies in the apartment house;
- Work with soil or manure, without gloves, playing in the sandbox.
The main sources of infection
Infection occurs by direct contact or by mouth. Through the mouth of parasites that can enter the body in two ways: through dirty hands, products, or eating poorly heat treated meat or fish, which are infected with larvae of parasites.
Parasites in fish
- Opisthorchiasis. Media: fish of the carp family. Fluke lives in the liver, the pancreas, which causes a rise in temperature up to 40 degrees, intolerance to fatty, vomiting, pain in the right hypochondrium. The symptoms appear after 2-3 weeks. Opisthorchiasis in the last few years, affecting the internal organs.
- Clonorchiasis. Media fish that inhabit the waters of China, Korea, Amur region. The symptoms of opisthorchiasis are similar.
- Difillobotrioz. Media – the far Eastern fish. Symptoms: bloating, nausea, drowsiness, unstable stool, salivation.
- Antacids. Media: herring (North sea amazed at 55-100%), cod, salmon. Within the body gets to eat raw fish. Symptoms: diarrhea, rash, possible intestinal ulcers.
- Ligules. Media: carp. Are not dangerous for people, if the pathogen extract, and fish is subjected to heat treatment.
Parasites in the meat
- The species Trichinella spiralis. The path of infection – from wild game meat or pork. Larvae with the blood in the muscles, which causes pain in them, swelling of the face, the rash is of allergic nature.
- Beef tapeworm infection. Medium – cattle, method of infection – the consumption of beef exposed to the minimum heat treatment. Symptoms: constipation, rapid weight loss.
Parasites from plants, forest fruits
- Alveococcus multilocularis. A person infected through dirty berries or dirty hands.
- Geohelminth Ascaris. Characteristics of infection: ingestion of eggs from unwashed fruit and vegetables, drinking not boiled water. Symptoms of infection: cough and Allergy, intestinal obstruction.
- Ancylostoma duodenale. The parasite larvae from soil enter the inside of the person, if it swallows them up with vegetables and fruit. The parasite feeds on the blood and damage the lining of the small intestine, causing inflammation.
- Balantidium coli. Media – pigs, sometimes dogs, and rats. Often sick people in rural areas.
Parasites in the water
- Dracunculiasis. Media – crustaceans Cyclops. Enter the body with poorly treated water. In the parasites, which are released after digestion of crustaceans in the stomach. From there, the worms that fall within the subcutaneous fat. A year later, the female parasite forms million Mature larvae. Your head the end result on the skin, which is watery bubble of 10 cm to eliminate the itching and burning sensation, the person immerses the affected area and water, which causes the release of parasites and the start of a new round of development.
- Gnathostoma spinigerum. Infection occurs by drinking water no disinfection of the water, the flesh eating frogs and fish. The symptoms are: swelling of the skin and itching, fever, possible loss of the eyeball. The disease, which is a recurrent nature.
Modern methods of diagnosis of parasites
Helminth living in the gut, were found in the mud: coprogram, perianal scrapings, the method of augmentation. If the doctor suggests the paragons, the analysis of take sputum, urine, - in cases of suspected urogenital schistosomiasis. The reliability of this method is only 15-20%.
We have a list of frequently used and current research, in which determine their strengths and weaknesses.
- Macro - and microscopic examination of stool. The performance depends on at which stage of the development of the parasite. The victim of the parasite that the notice is very difficult, so the parasite must come into the laboratory alive.
- Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The presence of antibodies and antigens by helminth to an accuracy of 60-80% provides types of parasites, their strength.
- Histological coprogram. Stool analysis, which includes detection of parasites or components of their body with heavy-duty microscopes.
- Ultrasound x-ray examination and computed tomography. Detects changes of the internal organs.
- Bioresonance diagnostics. Picks up a certain frequency range, which emit a helminth. To detect the parasites in all stages of development, determines their localization. The authenticity of 75-95%.
- Hemo-scan. Analysis of blood cells reveals the presence of nonspecific substances and elements, which indicates the presence of helminth.
- Serological methods (reaction of a ring precipitation test, indirect hemagglutination, enzyme-labeled bodies, binding complement, agglutination in latex). Based on the detection in blood of specific antibodies.
- Laboratory tests of the muscles, the parts of the skin and blood. Biopsy and muscle digestion. Allows the detection within the muscle fibers of larvae of Trichinella.
- Analysis of duodenal content. Fractional detection, among which are 3 parts of the bile from the duodenum 12. The last about 1.5 hours. The analysis sent to the still hot bile.
- Examination of the urine. Allows the detection of helminth, parasitic in the urogenital system.
The impact of parasites on the health of the people
The parasites deprive the body of vitamins and minerals, it kills the blood cells – white blood cells, red blood cells, leaving only the toxic waste his life. This is also reflected in the development of allergic reactions and slagging of the intestine and the liver, the deformation of different bodies, "chronic fatigue syndrome".
In General, the impact of parasites on health can be divided into mechanical, toxic, immune, and food. Here are the most dangerous human interference:
- Peritonitis caused by parasites on the walls of the intestine and ulcers.
- Intestinal obstruction caused by the accumulation of tangles of parasites.
- Violation of trophism of tissues and organs, provoked by the compression of the parasites of the blood vessels.
- Beriberi, which slows down growth and the process for the production of body weight.
- Violation of protein metabolism, associated with the violation of a leakage of biochemical processes.
- Menstrual disorders, vaginitis in women, infertility, prostatitis in men.
- May develop pneumonia, asthma, diabetes, diseases of the joints.
Treatment of parasites in the human body
Treatment of helminth includes the selection of certain anthelmintic drugs. The pharmacological industry produces a lot of drugs belonging to different chemical groups. Folk remedies can also help in the fight against the disease, but keep in mind that they do not take into account your individuality as a patient, presence of accompanying diseases.
Folk remedy for parasites
Folk remedies, which are well reflected in the initial stage of the disease. They work slower than synthetic drugs, however, can cause the body less damage. We have a list of the most effective:
- Monastic tea from parasites. Kills helminth, protozoa, fungal spores. The basis of: agrimony, oak bark, marsh cudweed, yarrow, the leaves of birch, wormwood, calendula, chamomile, connected in known only to the manufacturer of a relationship. If you drink 21 days, the parasites will die, and their waste products removed, the affected areas of the internal organs will begin to recover.
- Tincture of wormwood pumpkin seeds. Dry raw materials of sage and pre-crushed seeds pour vodka in the ratio of 1:3, keep on the Sunny location for 7 days; take twice a day, 50 ml, preferably 30 minutes before meals. It normalizes the intestinal microflora, stimulates biliary secretion, neutralizes toxins, strengthens the immune system.
- The pod parasites. Carnation disinfects the internal organs, restores the protective functions of the body after poisoning, relieves pain. This treatment of giardiasis and opisthorchiasis. Home used clove powder: a blend of cloves and flax seeds in the ratio of 1:10, grind and lasts for 3 days in a row before a meal 1 teaspoon (allowed to drink water).
- Garlic against parasites. Evening: apples or sauerkraut, and then in small quantities and completely swallow the finely chopped garlic – 200 g cucumber, tomatoes and pickles. Up to 16.00 the next day – only pickles, or sauerkraut, and then put the enema (to get rid of the dead helminth). Enema: in 2 liters of water, brew 1 tablespoon of chamomile, after cooling, into the soup and add 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar and sea salt.
- Triad of parasites. Triad is called an anti-parasitic collection, which includes the green peel of walnut, cloves and wormwood or tansy, wormwood and cloves (according to the method Ivanchenko). Contraindications: children, pregnancy, gastrointestinal disease, poisoning, immune deficiency.
- Tansy of the parasites. The bitter taste of tansy is an antagonist, worms, and Giardia. We give the recipe: 20 g raw pour a liter of boiling water and insist hour. Adults take 1/2 C three times a day, before you eat, children 1 tbsp.
- Pumpkin seeds from parasites. Used in combination with garlic. Crushed roasted in a dry frying pan 200 grams of untreated seeds: mix and crushed 6 cloves garlic and 2 tablespoons of honey. Persist for half a day, then take 1 tbsp for adults and 1 tsp of children for 4 days.
- Soda from parasites. Treatment includes a course of enemas from 8 to 10 sessions. 20-30 gr. soda, dissolved in 800 ml of water, heated to 38 to 42 degrees. Before treatment, the cleaning enema, and then the prepared solution was injected for 30 minutes. After bowel once again put a cleansing enema.
Do not forget that the funds are used in folk medicine, sometimes only alleviate the symptoms of the infection. Do not give up your medication prescribed by your doctor.
Prevention of parasitic diseases
Prevention is the only way to fight against parasitic infection. The daily observance of simple rules, which is much more efficient.
- Thoroughly wash hands when hands after using the toilet, communicating with animals, by excavation.
- Buy meat and fish in areas that have authorized the trade.
- Expose meat and fish longer heat and cooking: cooking meat in small pieces approximately 2.5 hours and fish for at least 15 minutes. Ambassador fish is to be determined, not less than 2 weeks, freezing is more than 10 days at a temperature of minus forty degrees.
- Do not use for chopping and cutting meat, vegetables, bread, fish the same Boat.
- Berries, fruit, greens, gather at their summer cottage, thoroughly wash and drench with boiling water.
- The water used for drinking, be sure to boil.
- Track down and destroy the carriers of the parasites, cockroaches, flies and other insects.
