More than half of the world's population suffers from parasites. This is due to the fact that in some situations the infection is asymptomatic, but this does not relieve the carrier of the pathogenic complications that occur in the human body. In most cases, you can get rid of parasites with folk remedies at home, for this you need to know the types, signs and characteristics of the treatment of each pathogen.
Causes of occurrence
Parasites in the host's body appear by contact with the external environment. All routes of penetration of the disease are divided into 4 main types:
- Food contamination (with dirty food or water, unwashed hands).
- Contact and penetration into the home (through pets and other infected people).
- Transmissive injection (due to insect bites).
- Active or cut infection (penetration of the parasite larva through the skin and mucous membranes in contact with dirty soil or water).
This disease can also be infected through unprotected sexual intercourse, in this way Trichomonas penetrates the human body.
Types of parasites
All bacteria that live by adhering to the human body can be divided into three large groups:
- Protozoa. This group has many varieties, most often you can meet a lamblia, trochimonads and toxoplasma infection. They can appear in various parts of the body.
- Worms (helminths). These include pinworms, roundworms, porcine and bovine tapeworms, echinococci, and other species. These parasites develop in the intestines of the patient.
- Ectoparasites such as ticks or lice, fleas. Parasites human skin (hairy or open epidermis).
Ectoparasites are the safest, unlike other species. Protozoa and worms can develop in the body of an infected person for months, impairing the functioning of internal organs, but without giving special signs of their appearance. Symptoms with worms are often attributed to general malaise or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas. To prevent the development of the disease, it is necessary to know the symptoms and signs of the appearance of parasite "hosts" in the body.
Symptoms and signs
The symptoms of different types of pathogens in the body may differ. On average, the following clinical picture can be distinguished:
- frontal headache and irritability;
- weakness, fatigue;
- loss of appetite and nausea, as a result - weight loss;
- intestinal dysfunction, pain;
- skin rash;
- increased body temperature;
- anemia (pale skin and mucous membranes of the body).
Microorganisms live off their host, so the human body is working to wear itself out. As the pathology develops, symptoms worsen, so treatment should be started when the first signs are detected.
