Parasitesare the simplest types of bacteria that live on the nutrients of another organism and parasitize it. They feed on prepared organic matter produced by others.
Currently, there are more than twenty species of parasitic life forms that can inhabit the body of animals or humans.
All of them can enter our body and cause a large number of diseases and infections. Very often, these bacteria are found in children, since they do not have such a high level of immunity, while they are in a lot of contact with animals and some dirty things.
Remember that a young child often puts everything in his mouth?
These items can carry dangerous vermin. This article provides a classification of parasites in the human body, how to treat infectious diseases, and what is needed to prevent harmful bacteria from entering your body.
Parasitic bacteria in the human body, in which organs can they live?
The simplest bacteria are found in the human body and on its skin, they can be unicellular and multicellular.
Parasites that inhabit 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 amoebae, worms, and insect larvae.
The latter are the most dangerous, while the former are just plain unpleasant.
Internal parasites often cause serious illness and are more difficult to eliminate than external ones. 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 they have all the conditions for a parasitic lifestyle, that is, the nutrients necessary for growth and reproduction. Some of them can move as they grow.
Endogenous parasites are most commonly found in the intestines, muscles, blood, lungs, heart, and liver. Some species even live in nerve tissues. Ectogenic parasites live on the skin.
How can parasites enter the body?
The first methodis the ingestion of bacteria into the body with food and water. Sometimes it is polluted or contaminated, so microorganisms start to multiply there. Insects like flies and cockroaches also carry many harmful bacteria. Some foods are initially contaminated: raw fish or unprocessed meat. Most often, the meat of cattle is infected with parasites, so a person does not eat it raw.
Second- contact home. In this case, the parasites are transmitted from humans, through household items or animals. Most often, infectious bacteria are carried by animals in the open air: dogs, cats, birds, and rats.
Third- transmission through blood by mosquitoes. In our country and in many other regions, this rarely happens, most often infected mosquitoes live in hot countries.
The room is the independent entrance of some insects to the human body. They gnaw through the skin and penetrate into muscle tissue or blood, and then head to where the best living conditions are for them.
What are the symptoms of parasites?
Parasites in the human body can cause completely different symptoms, from insomnia, which is often undetectable, to skin lesions. For example, ectoparasites often cause skin damage and scabies. Endoparasites in the lungs often cause coughing. When it is in the intestines, you may be concerned about constipation, vomiting, or diarrhea.
But the general signs of parasites in humans are: insomnia, general fatigue, headaches, and sometimes allergic reactions. Very often, people use folk remedies, but they are not always pleasant, for example, not everyone can drink a glass of sauerkraut juice with worms.
Consider the symptoms in the presence of different types of parasites:
- The most common parasites for humans are intestinal worms or worms. They cause intestinal discomfort and stomach pain, irritability, insomnia, and anxiety attacks, and sometimes dizziness. Detecting them is quite simple, they can be seen in the stool or get a positive test result for an egg worm;
- Then comes a rather dangerous parasite: tapeworm. It often causes discomfort or pain in the abdomen, diarrhea, a brutal appetite (you eat a lot, but do not gain weight), pain in the liver and presence of worms in its stool;
- If a person has pinworms, they may notice loss of appetite, insomnia, nervousness, and itching in the anus.
Why are parasites dangerous?
They disrupt the functioning of the organs, cause inflammation in the tissues and destroy them. It produces toxic substances that destroy the body.
A plague that parasitizes you can cause a lack of vitamins, a general weakening and a decrease in immunity in both adults and children. The presence of such a parasite in children is very dangerous, since they greatly slow down their development. Very often it is difficult to get rid of parasites in the body, as they tend to adapt to their environment and do not want to leave their usual home.
How to get treatment for parasites?
To get rid of parasites, you must first consult a doctor. He will prescribe a specific medication or other more natural remedy.
There is also treatment with home remedies, but it is recommended to do it in symbiosis with medications.
Medical treatment
Doctors have long found an effective treatment for parasites in humans.
The most effective and common drugs to get rid of pests are drugs based on synthetic components. All of them are very effective in treating roundworms and various intestinal worms.
Some medicines are in pill form, while others are in another form, as a liquid. The dose is determined only by the doctor, it is not possible to do it yourself without side effects. In addition, the drugs have differences in the age of the patients for whom they are intended.
Another way to cure people with parasites has appeared in the modern world. It's called oxygen and it appeared relatively recently; it is performed only in hospitals under the supervision of a doctor. First, the patient's intestines are cleaned with an enema, then oxygen is injected using a catheter method. Once the stomach and rectum are filled with oxygen, the parasites die. With this method, the cured patient does not have any secondary symptoms, unlike the drug method.
Parasites: quick treatment with home remedies
You can eliminate various parasites from the human body with home remedies, even some doctors recommend some natural remedies to get rid of such pests.
The most popular antiparasitic treatment is pumpkin seeds. They contain many nutrients that are beneficial to humans and their intestinal microflora, but are destructive to the simplest pests. To finally recover, eat 20 grams of pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach in the morning and then drink a laxative after 30-40 minutes.
Vegetable oils can be used as natural laxatives, the most common being castor oils.
For the treatment of parasites with folk remedies in adults, anthelmintic teas are used and after cleansing the intestines with an enema. To prepare the broth, you can take absinthe, cloves, celandine or tansy. All of them have a strong and bitter taste, making the environment of the intestine unsuitable for pests.
However, be careful with the herbs used, many of which are prohibited for pregnant women.
Diet for the prevention of parasites
Anyone who has encountered parasites knows how important rehabilitation and prevention are. For this, the attending physician often prescribes a special diet. Separate meals are recommended, when carbohydrates and proteins are eaten separately. Because if we eat them together, the stomach does not receive an exact signal of what will need to be digested and what enzymes are needed for it.
Poorly digested food is excellent for parasites, so they continue to live and develop.
For example, meat, legumes cannot be eaten with potatoes, pasta or bread. Better to combine them with vegetables. If you want to eat carbohydrates and protein, take a 2-hour break between taking them.

Take 15 walnuts, remove the green shells and cover them with vodka. Leave to infuse for a month, in a dark and dry place. Then dilute a drop of the tincture in half a glass of water and drink.
Gradually increase the dose by one drop each day for seven days. After that, also gradually increase the intake to 2 x teaspoons, take the drug a couple of times a day. Continue taking 2 teaspoons of tincture twice a day throughout the year. This is a fairly long cleaning cycle, but very effective.
