Parasites are considered organisms that live on or within the human body and compete with human host cells for nutrients.Parasite species vary in size from microscopic amoeba to large intestinal worms.
Ectoparasites are found on the external surfaces of the human body, while endoparasites live in the tissues and internal organs of the human body.
A parasite is known as an organism that obtains food by feeding on or inside another animal.Types of human parasites are divided into intestinal and blood parasites.
All types of parasites can be transmitted in the following ways:
- from animals to humans;
- from person to person;
- from humans to animals.
These organisms are able to live and reproduce in the organs and tissues of infected humans and animal hosts.They are often excreted in the feces.
Some parasites can be present in food or water and have become important causes of waterborne and foodborne diseases.Thus, parasites are now frequently identified as the cause of foodborne illness, ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating illness and possibly death (in the most severe cases).
Parasites are known to be transmitted from host to host through ingestion of contaminated food and water and/or mouthing anything that has touched the feces of an infected person or animal.
All types of parasites range in size from small, single-celled organisms (called protozoa) to larger multicellular worms (called helminths) that can be seen with the naked eye.
According to modern medical practice, helminths cannot reproduce in the human body and eventually disappear without infecting the person again.Protozoa have only one cell and can reproduce inside the human body.
Parasites can also be divided into the following types of parasites:
- Obligate parasites that can only survive in the body of the host and that is why they pass directly from one host to another.The process in question may involve complex life cycles.This type of parasite includes Trichomonas and Trichinella.
- Transient parasites that spend only part of their lives as parasites and another part as free organisms.
- Free parasites, which are usually free-living organisms capable of accidentally infecting a host.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites
Admittedly, there are a number of distinct symptoms experienced by people affected by parasites.They include:
- gas formation and bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome;
- sleep problems;
- skin diseases;
- allergies;
- joint and muscle pain;
- irritability, granuloma, chronic fatigue;
- anemia;
- teeth grinding;
- immune system problems.
According to recent studies of North America and Europe, different types of parasites have been found in the body of all these people suffering from various chronic diseases.
The course of using a colloidal medicine can provide effective help in the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections.Its action extends to many types of parasites, from protozoa to helminths, and the drug also helps to get rid of unpleasant symptoms caused by parasites.The recommended treatment and prophylactic course is 1 month.
