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 the type of parasite that colonizes the body. That is why providing testing for the presence of worms and greater selection of treatment are of such importance.
Parasites in the human body: causes.
Parasites appear in the human body for various reasons.
They can enter the body in the following ways:
- Alimentary (through the digestive tract). The most common situation is: ingesting contaminated food or water;
- Contact and home (via household items). In practice, this means infection from other people or pets that carry helminths;
- Transmission. It represents the entry of helminths through blood-sucking insects;
- Percutaneous. This means that the parasite enters the body through the mucous membranes or the skin;
- Also, parasites can enter the body along with the dust.
Fish is a valuable food recommended for all people. However, along with the benefits, it can also harm, serving as a carrier of parasitic diseases. Therefore, you need to know what kind of parasites that live in fish can harm a person.
Actually, the most common parasites among those living in fish organisms are just helminths. The risk group for worms includes fish such as bream, rudd, and silver bream, but it is important to understand that absolutely any fish can become infected with helminths. Boil fish well to prevent infection. If this is not done, the probability of infection remains extremely high. The most dangerous thing is to eat raw fish.
The most popular worms in fish are:
- Schistocefamos. Most of the time they live in odors, in some places they are found in trout, salmon and pink salmon. The worm is destroyed by careful heat treatment;
- Chinese coincidence. Found in Amur chebachka, crucian carp, carp and yaz. If it enters the human body, it can lead to opisthorchiasis and clonorchiasis;
- Wide ribbon. Most of the time it lives in the organisms of pike, ruff, burbot and salmonids;
- Helminths, which cause nanofietosis in humans, live in chum salmon, whitefish, grayling, and other fish species;
- Tapeworms that act as causative agents of ligulosis. Carp fish (bream, bream, cockroach, rudd) are exposed to this disease. It is important to note that if you remove all the worms from the fish, its meat can be consumed; it will be absolutely safe;
- Worms of the trematode family. Excite metagonimiasis. They live in rudd and gudgeon.
We emphasize that any fish is absolutely safe for humans if cooked correctly. After a complete and high-quality heat treatment, both adults and children can consume the fish absolutely safely. Another way to disinfect fish is to freeze it for a long time.
A product that, if not superior to fish, is on an equal footing with it in popularity, is, of course, meat. It is popular not only with people, but also with worms.
The following types of helminths live in meat:
- Nematodes. It can be found in pork or chicken. Cause gnathostomosis;
- He had bovine. It is found in undercooked beef. Excites teniarinhoses;
- Pork tapeworm. It can live on undercooked pork. Cause taeniasis;
- Toxocara nematodes. Trapped in the liver of chickens. Exciting toxocariasis;
- Nematodes. They live on undercooked pork. It causes trichinosis.
Parasites in the human body: symptoms.
There are 14 main symptoms of the presence of helminths in the human body:
- Chronic fatigueIt includes a number of signs, such as: poor memory; indifference; stress; low concentration; flu-like symptoms. These problems arise both with nutritional deficiencies and with ideal nutrition due to the difficult absorption of vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates, as well as proteins and fats. For this reason, the permanent intoxication of the body with parasites increases enormously;
- Pain syndrome in muscles and joints.Worms have the ability to migrate. Their relocation is accompanied by pain, which is often perceived as a painful consequence of arthritis. Also, abnormal inflammatory processes in the joints can be a consequence of the body's protective reaction to the presence of helminths in it, as well as a consequence of tissue damage by worms;
- Weight problemsWorms can cause both weight gain and loss. The deviations in both directions will be quite significant. Low weight is caused by loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and indigestion. Obesity appears as a result of helminthic invasion. The sensation of hunger causes a lack of nutrients in conditions of an acceptable amount of "empty calories", as well as by toxic effects on the metabolism;
- Irritable stomach syndrome. Parasites living in the body can provoke an inflammatory process in the intestinal membranes, which leads to a large number of negative manifestations, as well as a deterioration in the absorption of nutrients. The fat, instead of being absorbed in the small intestine, passes into the large intestine, causing problems such as cramps, diarrhea and constipation. Excess fat can be found in stool analysis;
- Diarrhea.A chain of helminths forms matter similar to prostaglandins. It is they that cause frequent watery stools. It is important to understand that diarrhea qualifies not only as a reaction of the body, but also as a sign of the presence of worms;
- Constipation.Certain helminths can block the functioning of certain organs. For example, they can block the bile ducts (causing jaundice and liver problems) or the intestines (causing constipation);
- Irritability, permanent bad mood.Toxic substances and the remnants of the vital activity of worms have a negative effect on the central nervous system. As a result: depression, anxiety and constant excitement. The practice knows many cases in which the elimination of the parasites caused significant changes in the character of a person and reassured him;
- Inflammatory processes of the respiratory tract.Various parasites "travel" throughout the human body, including the respiratory system. Symptoms of respiratory tract worms include a runny nose, cough, sputum production, and fever. In practice, there was even a sinusitis caused by awake migratory helminths. Also one of the expressions of strongyloidosis and ascariasis is pneumonia;
- Bloating and gas formation.Caused by an inflammatory process in the small intestine. If the worms are not removed in a timely manner, bloating and gas formation can manifest itself in varying degrees over several months, and perhaps even years;
- Trouble sleeping, teeth grinding during sleep.The origin of bruxism remains a mystery today. One version is simply the body's reaction to intoxication, as well as the excitement of the nervous system by parasites;
- Allergic reactions.It happens that worms enter the intestinal wall, so large molecules of unprocessed food end up in the blood. The body reacts to this by increasing the production of blood cells (eosinophils), which in turn cause allergies. The worms themselves are also allergens;
- Oncological diseases.Helminths that live in the body contribute to its systematic poisoning, nutritional deficiencies, and problems with the immune system. They are also capable of triggering a long inflammatory process. Well, as a result of all this, an oncological tumor forms;
- Serious skin problems.Helminths can cause hives, rashes, eczema, boils, acne, papillomas and other skin diseases;
- Protection system failures.Worms severely weaken the defense system, reduce the production of protective immunoglobulins, and cause allergies. As a result of its activity, the conditions for various infections are created and the intestine becomes a home for dysbiosis. Chronic colds and allergies are the possible consequences of a helminth entering the human body.
Not all are signs; There are many others, however, they are very diverse and arise according to the type of individual, the duration of the infection and the stage of organic damage. Symptoms can be extremely serious (for example, migraine, heart attack, asthma, and inflammation of the urinary tract).
Parasites in the human body: diagnosis.
The human body can host up to several dozen worms simultaneously. For this reason, therapy must begin with the diagnosis of the disease. Modern medicine uses a number of methods to diagnose organisms by the presence of various helminths in them.
Most of the time, stool is tested. However, there are other methods, for example:
- Immunological - determination of the amount of antigens and antibodies against parasites by means of a blood test;
- Histological coprogram: a detailed examination of the body of helminths, their larvae and eggs through a high precision microscope. Allows you to discover the most effective drug complex for therapy;
- Hemoscanning. Blood test increasing a drop 2000 times. The method allows you to detect the presence of fungi, bacteria and other parasites;
- Electroacupuncture. The method is implemented by a special device. It is little known and completely unpopular because it can significantly harm the body. However, it allows you to identify the presence of worms in the body and choose the most effective method of therapy.
Parasites in the human body: drug treatment.
You can eliminate parasites using two groups of drugs:
- chemotherapy drugs obtained by synthetic means;
- preparations obtained from plant materials.
A specialist will recommend the most appropriate drug to eliminate parasites from the body, based on the results of the examination.
Parasites in the human body: treatment with folk remedies.
In addition to drug treatment, you can try alternative methods. The main advantage of such treatment is the total absence of damage.
