Anyone a modern person at least once in his life has encountered the problem of parasites in the body.The amount and variety of parasites, which, in the literal sense of the word, cannot live without us, are simply large.Parasites in the human body use it as a source of food and habitat until they are completely exhausted, but without giving their presence.
Parasites are microscopic sizes or can grow up to a few meters in length, but even in this case, their vital activity in the body cannot always be felt.A person, as a rule, does not feel them nor does they know about their presence within themselves.Meanwhile, they have been able to live in a human body for years and even decades, causing it to an irreparable damage.
Parasites in the human body pose a serious danger and pose a major threat to human health, as they violate the work of internal organs and systems, provoke a failure in the work of the immune system and interfere with the complete assimilation of useful substances, vitamins and minerals.In some cases, the situation is so serious that it can even lead to death.
Types of relationships between organisms
In nature, there are several types of relationships between organisms that have a diverse effect on each other.
The impact of one species on another may have both neutral or positive, and negative.
In addition, there are different combinations of such relationships.Distinguish:
- symbiosis;
- neutralism;
- Antibiosis.
Symbiosis is a form of relationships between the two organisms, which both benefit.
Neutralism is a kind of biological connection, which consists of living two organisms in a territory, but at the same time they are not related to each other and do not directly affect each other.
Antibiism is an antagonist of the biological relationship in which one type of population limits the possibilities of another, adversely affecting it.One of the most negative types of antibiism is parasitism.
Parasitism and parasites
Parasitism is a form of antibiotic in which representatives of one species use the body of another species as a temporary or continuous environmental environment and a source of nutrients.
Biological organisms that live at the expense of another organism are called parasites.
The parasites do not kill their owner, but for a long time use it as a source of food and habitat.
Parasites include:
- parasitic worms;
- pathogenic bacteria;
- protozoa;
- mushrooms;
- Viruses.
The host organisms can be:
- bacteria;
- protozoa;
- plants;
- animals;
- man
In the development process, the parasites go through several stages of development from eggs and larvae to adults (sexually mature, invading), which indicates their long lives and should change 2-3 owners.
Classification of parasites
All parasites are divided into links and optional.
Oblie parasites outside the host's body either die or exist in an inactive state.For example: viruses.They lead an exclusively parasitic lifestyle, that is, they depend entirely on the owner and activate their activities within it.
Optional parasites lead a parasitic lifestyle, but if necessary, they can exist in an absolutely normal form in the external environment.For example: pathogenic fungi and bacteria.
By the nature of the relationship with the host body, they share:
- true parasites;
- false parasites;
- Super parasites.
True parasites are the same bond parasites for which a parasitic lifestyle is the only form of survival.However, there are parasites that can be either (constant) and optional (temporary) bonds.For example: lice, fleas, intestinal poisons.
False parasites - voluntary living organisms, which, in the event of an accidentally entering the body, are able to live in it for some time and damage it.For example: the larvae of a room fly into a person's intestines.
Super parasites are parasites living in other parasites.For example: bacteria and viruses in other parasitic insects living in other organisms.
Depending on the duration of interaction with the host body, they distinguish:
- continuous parasites;
- Temporary parasites.
Continuous parasites are organisms that perform their entire life cycle in the body - the owner, lowering the larvae in it.For example: ascarides, tapeworms, lice.
Temporary parasites;Live and eat at the expense of the owner at a certain stage of development.For example: larvae of a volt -fart fly and an imagination (adult insects) -in fleas and mosquitoes.
At the location of the host body, the parasites are divided into:
- ectoparasis;
- Endoparasites.
Ectoparasites are organisms that live on the skin of the host body.For example: lice, fleas, ticks.
Endoparasites are organisms that are inside the host's body.Endoparasis are divided into:
- internal parasites;
- tissue parasites;
- intercellular.
The parasites within the lid are organisms that are located in the cavities related to the external environment, for example: Ascaris, Vlasov -changed in the human intestines.
Parasites of clothes-a kind of organisms that are located in closed cavities and tissues of the host body, for example: for example, liver bacon, cisture of tape worms.
Intercellular parasites are located in body cells - the owner, for example: plasmodia malaria, toxoplasma.
In terms of distribution in the environment, the parasites are:
- Curls, encountered everywhere;
- Tropicals, which are common only in hot, tropical climate.
According to biological and epidemiological characteristics, parasites are divided into:
- Googelminters- these are parasites that are first subject to the developmental phase in the human body, and then in the outer environment (for example, Earth);
- Biogelmining- The parasites in which the cycle of development develops not only in the human body but also in the organisms of other creatures.A person, as a rule, is the last owner, and sometimes intermediate.
- Contact helminthsThey are distinguished by the body of the host from already mature or semi -measured, as a result of which it is possible to repeat his infection or infection of another person (autoinasia, reinvasia).
How the parasites fall into the human body
There are many favorable factors that contribute to the entry of parasites into the human body:
- dirty hands;
- animal hair;
- poorly cooked products (nutritional factor);
- Contact House holding factor;
- transmitted;
- perkutant.
Dirty hands are the main source of infection with parasitosis.There are a number of diseases called "dirty hand diseases".Worm larvae, which first fall on the skin of the hands, and then in the mouth, cause characteristic symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract.The path of transmission of these infections is called fecal-oral.Thus, helminths with Helminthiasis contact fall into our bodies.For example, ascarids enter the human body through dirty hands, poorly washed vegetables, fruits, berries, greens, and are also spread to flies.
The animals and their wool are an ascaride and liphryli source with worms.For example, for a long time, which has fallen from animal wool, preserves vibrancy (up to about 6 months) and, falling into carpets, things, beds, toys and children's hands, penetrate the food tract.
Also, through wet breathing, dogs and cats are able to distribute parasite eggs at a distance of 3 - 5 meters.In addition, there are fleas in dog and cat wool, which also tolerate worm eggs.
The nutritional method of infection with parasites is performed:
- Through poorly washed vegetables and fruits;
- poorly cooked food (most often meat);
- Infected water.
For example, incorrectly cooked barbecue, sharp or home -made bar can infect a person with trichinellosis and echinococcus, and dry fish or poorly cooked caviar can cause an infection with an opistorchiasis and a wide tape.
The transmission method of infection occurs using blood singing insects, for example: ticks, mosquitoes, lice, fleas, mistakes.
Contact - the inner route of infection is performed through a person or infected animal when contacting or using ordinary household items.
The percutaneous method of infection occurs during baths in reservoirs or in contact with the infected soil.The larvae penetrate the body through the mucous membrane or human skin during contact with water or infected soil.
Characteristics of the device
Almost all parasites are very adaptable to survival.There are a number of factors that contribute to their high vibrancy:
- A long life expectancy.For example, helminths live in the human body for years, and sometimes exactly as much as the owner lives.
- Helminth eggs are able to continue and not collapse in the outside environment for decades.
- The parasite development phase also contributes to its longevity.It passes all stages of development, starting from the egg, continuing the larvae and the change of the owner, in the event of a lack of nutrients.
- The ability of the parasites to cause a state of immunity to the owner's immunity, which allows you to penetrate pathogenic agents from the outside, as well as "stimulate" dormant internal infections.
- Helminths that fall on a person's gastrointestinal tract produce anti -enzyima, which allows them to pass their death, but at the same time they violate the normal process of eating and cause toxic - allergic reactions in their host: asthma, urticaria, dermatitis.
- Parasites are associated with the exchange of genetic information during sexual reproduction, which leads to the stability of their heterogeneous population.
- The broad vitality of helminths in many habitats: soil, water, animals, plants.
- Lack of effective methods of immunoprophylaxis, as parasites are able to suppress or modify the immune response of the host body.
How to identify parasites in the body
As a rule, a person raises such a question when his health is fully mined.It is common for a person to rest the problem in his or her initial stage until it develops in a serious form and will affect his well -being.
Since parasites are separated from the habitat in the body - the owner in the endoparasis and ectoparasites, the symptoms are divided into interior and external.
Ectoparasis are characterized by a particular activity, which is manifested by the following symptoms:
- rash;
- itching;
- burning;
- hyperemia;
- pain (if it were a bite);
- the presence of a wound at the site of a bite.
Discovering endoparazites is much easier.The following actions are performed for this:
- visual identification (if there is external penetration through the skin);
- Microscopic examination.
The discovery of ectoparasis is a difficult task, as in the process of "hanging" evolution are adapted for survival as they mask and without betraying themselves, they perform destructive work in the host's body.After all, a person lives, for example, with worms since his appearance, and the stages of their development can last from several months to a decade.So how to determine the presence of parasites in the body?
External and internal manifestations
Since parasites vary in a long life and actively multiply in the human body, they cause symptoms that are recurrent and chronic.
External manifestations of parasite activity include:
- rash;
- itching;
- burning;
- hyperemia;
- thirsty state;
- Quincke's edema.
It is important to know that the degree of allergy development depends on many factors:
- the location of the parasite in the body;
- parasite contact with tissues and vital organs;
- the amount of toxins produced.
The following symptoms include violations in the body of internal occupation:
- disorders in the work of the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, diarrhea, belching);
- Weight fluctuations associated with nutrient deficiency and a decrease in appetite;
- longing for sweets due to metabolic disorders and general body weakening;
- Chronic fatigue syndrome, which is manifested by general fatigue, drowsiness, in some cases insomnia, impaired concentration and memory;
- persistent headaches caused by the weakness of the body and intoxication;
- tooth grinding in a dream (bruxism), manifested especially in children;
- swelling of the limbs;
- nerve disorders and psychic disorders, as parasites can cause depression and irritability;
- paroxysmal cough;
- muscles and joint pain;
- painful skin pallor;
- Skin lesions (dermatitis, eczema, acne and acne).
Especilly, especially important to know the general symptoms observed with parasitic bowel occupation.
Violations in the digestive tract, which are manifested by the following symptoms:
- intestinal cramps;
- Irritated intestinal syndrome;
- Flatulence;
- constipation or diarrhea;
- Change of feces color;
- itching in the anus;
- Visual detection of helminths;
- The presence of worms in the gag.
Since worms can reach significant size in the body, they are able to physically complicate the progression of the feces and violate the work of other organs, for example, bile ducts.
Parasites can cause violations in the work of a particular organ or system.
The most common violations are:
- Anemia
- Central nervous system lesions.
- Abscesses in the liver.
- Purulent inflammation of the gall bladder and pancreas.
- Fruits in immune work, until the development of autoimmune reactions.
- Disorders in the functioning of the respiratory system.
- Common diseases.
Diagnosis of parasites
All of the above symptoms cannot always confirm the presence of parasites in the body accurately, as these symptoms can be observed with many diseases.
You can place the presence of parasites in the human body when examining feces.However, this method is unsafe because parasite larvae cannot always be seen through a microscope or pass them.In addition, not all parasites lay many eggs.
To detect the parasite larvae in the feces, it is necessary to get up to 8-10 times a fecal analysis.But if in this case the analysis has shown nothing but the doctor has doubts, then a number of serological blood tests have been prescribed, which will help detect the antibodies of poisons that appear in the blood a few weeks after infection with parasites.
There are other methods to identify the "subordinates" of the so -called string test.A string with a capsule is inserted into the intestines through the nose and removes it after four hours along with the samples taken.
Another method is a colonoscopy during which the specialist considers the state of the inner surface of the colon using a special probe.
Specialists found that the most common parasites are helminths.In addition, they are all very applicable and fertile, and their purpose is to destroy their master and to derive maximum benefits for themselves.
How to remove parasites from the human body
It is difficult to get rid of the parasites, but it is possible.It is important to prioritize: it is necessary not only to know how to get rid of the parasites, but also to understand what the treatment process itself is.It is performed in three directions:
- Destruction of parasites in all stages of existence.That is to say, it is necessary to destroy not only adults but also their larvae and eggs.
- Normalization of the work of all organs and systems of the body.
- Body restoration.
To satisfy all three of the above articles will help modern medicines based on the plant ingredients that the specialist will prescribe.
Such drugs are modern medicines and have a certain therapeutic effect.Using these medicines in the complex allows you to combine their therapeutic effect and get a wonderful result.
Dosage and combination of medicines with each other is performed on the basis of:
- stages of parasitic occupation;
- the general condition of the patient;
- the availability of complications from a particular organ;
- The severity of the course of the disease.
The priority of anthelmintic drugs is based on:
- efficiency;
- security;
- The possibility of combining some medicines for the best therapeutic effect.
Treatment with folk remedies is a very effective way to get rid of parasites.Most often, the grass cleaning tea is used, which neutralizes the harmful effect of parasites, cleans the liver and gall bladder.
They prepare the following tea: Take one tablespoon from the following plants each: oak bark, buckthorn, wormwood, tansy.Then, one tablespoon a plant mixture is poured with 500 ml of boiling water and left on a closed plate at night.In the morning, on an empty stomach, 100 grams of trivies that result are drunk.Treatment persists for two to three weeks.
Pumpkin seeds are also very effective in the fight against parasites.To get rid of the parasites, take 300 grams of pumpkin seeds, they are cleaned of the peel, but at the same time they leave as much transparent film as possible, which wraps the seeds.Seeds should be eaten in the morning on an empty stomach.This recipe not only eliminates parasites but also improves the functioning of the intestines, stomach, liver and gall bladder.
