Signs of parasites in the body

In addition to “normal” microorganisms that constantly live in the human body, we are exposed to pathogenic parasites from the external environment.Eating raw or poorly welded meat and close communication with pets are two most common ways to infect.Since parasitic invasions are very common, it is important to learn how to recognize the symptoms of the disease.Let's discuss the main signs of the presence of parasites in the human body and list the possible reasons for their appearance.

Abdominal pain with helminthiasis

How to suspect helminthosis?

The most common intestinal parasites that live in a person are considered to be lamblia, hokworm, tape worms, pinworms, candida.

Speaking in detail, then, for example, Hookworm is a centimeter -sized worms, attached to the internal walls of the host intestinal.Once there, they grow and multiply, stealing nutrients and preventing them from absorbed by the owner’s cells.The helminth larva can penetrate the skin, and the eggs can be inhaled by a person.The sources of eggs and larvae HOOKWORM are animal excrement and raw meat.Remember that pets clean themselves with their tongue.It often happens that the HOOKWORM larva is attached to the fur and through the kiss, the affection enters the human body.Symptoms of Hookworm Infection:

  • blood in a chair;
  • blood in sputum with coughing;
  • gas formation and bloating;
  • nausea and vomiting;
  • pallor of the skin;
  • anemia;
  • loss of appetite;
  • Frequent uncontrolled crying in infants (children's colic).

For a better understanding of the issue, we also noteGeneral symptomssignaling the presence of protozoa, multicellular, as well as other organisms in the human body, leading a parasitic lifestyle:

  1. Chronic digestive problems: flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting.
  2. Abdominal pain: stomach disorder, cramps, weakness.
    3. Symptoms signaling the presence of parasites
  3. The chair is liquid, with mucus.The presence of helminth eggs or spores of fungi in the chair.
  4. The craving for sweet, constant hunger, increased appetite or loss of appetite.
  5. Repeated cases of food poisoning.
  6. A feeling of fatigue, exhaustion, mood swings, muscle and joint pain, discomfort in the whole body, shortness of breath, cough, asthma.
  7. Rashes on the skin in the form of eczema, urticaria, rosacea.
  8. Bad sleep, insomnia, nightmares, night sweat, grinding in a dream.
  9. The itching of the vagina around the vulva, anal itching, a rash and vaginal infections.
  10. The depressed general condition: inexplicable loss/increase in weight, nutrient deficiency, dehydration, fever, nervous exhaustion.
  11. Autoimmune disorders.

Symptoms of brain damage

Unfortunately, despite the hematoencephalic barrier, parasites can get into the brain and settle there.These include a pork tapeworm that causes cystiscosis;Naegleria Fowler, provoking the development of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis;Toxoplasma is the simplest, causing toxoplasmosis.

  • A headache is one of the first symptoms that a person infected with these dangerous organisms can experience.The pain in the head is often accompanied by sensitivity to light, clouding of vision.
  • Memory problems, disorientation, inability to make decisions - signs that a parasitic infection is growing and affecting brain tissue.
  • The fever develops as a reaction to malicious microorganism, which continues to progress.In this case, the immune system is activated.
  • The nausea that occurs when the larvae attach to the cavity with the brain fluid.
  • HeadacheHydrocephaly (excessive fluid accumulation in the brain) occurs with the development of the disease.
  • Convulsions, loss of balance, paranoia, hallucinations are important signs of brain damage to terrible “migrants”.

Signs of lung lesions

Trematodes are parasitic flat worms that infect light and other internal organs.The causative agent is most often found in seafood, and if you swallow it, it can get from the intestines into the pancreas, liver, lungs.As a result of parasitic infection, patients may notice unpleasant symptoms.

  • A cough that can begin with dry, irritating and developing into a strong cough with red veins of blood.
  • Strong pain in the chest and abdomen as a result of inflammation.
  • Fever.Heavier cases lead to strong fever.
  • Diarrhea.
  • Frequent episodes of pneumonia or bronchitis, which may indicate the possible localization of helminths in the lungs.Parasites also contribute to the development of an abscess of the lungs.

Who is at risk

In many cases, parasitic infections are caused by everyday activity and lifestyle of a person.Specialists call the main reasons for the development of invasions:

  • eating infected meat, fish, water;
    • Signs of lung lesions
  • the presence of parasites in your pet;
  • bad hygiene;
  • The habit of walking barefoot.

Intestinal parasites are not always manifested by characteristic symptoms.For this reason, many people who are in a high-risk zone (traveling to different exotic countries; having domestic animals; living in areas with poor sanitation; differing in weakened immunity), it is necessary to observe the purification protocol: for prevention 1-2 times a year.Additional risk factors include children and elderly patients, educators working in children's preschool institutions, as well as boarding schools.

Types of parasites

We will voice the main types of intestinal parasites and ways to infect them.So, you can get the pinworms if you have the habit of poke dirty hands in your mouth, gnawing your nails.Very often, pinworms are found in children.Hookworm is “picked up”, as was already mentioned above, in contact with feces of animals or infected soil when walking barefoot.Trematodes arise when using infected raw crops, water, fish or snails.Round worms affect the body if you eat thermally unprocessed meat containing larvae.

How to identify them

Today there are various laboratory tests that are used by medical workers to identify and diagnose parasites in the human body.Usually in such cases they are appointed:

  • fecal analysis on ovum vermis;
  • Serological blood test with the search for antibodies or antigens of parasites;
  • blood test under a microscope;
  • X -ray, MRI, CT;
  • Scotch tape for the presence of pinworms;
  • Endoscopy (through the mouth) and colonoscopy (through the rectum) can be used to study the digestive tract.
Diagnosis of parasites in the human body

Preventive measures

Make sure that you wash your hands every time after any touch to animals.It is also worth excluding products (raw or poorly fried meat, fish, land), which can cause infection with pathogens.If you have a suspicion that someone already lives and parasitizes in your body, you can use the rectal insuclement-a special procedure with purging the intestines of an ozos-acid mixture, which effectively destroys worms and removes toxic waste of their vital activity.Include antiparasitic products, herbs, vitamin and multienzyme additives in the diet.To improve and restore the healthy intestinal microflora, take probiotic drugs, as well as turmeric, ginger, garlic, pumpkin seeds, Oregano oil (oregano), which are detrimental to parasites.Exclude refined sugar from your menu, simple carbohydrates (white bread, cleaned rice) in order to stop the growth of the fungus of the candidate.

We hope that our article will help you recognize the first signs and symptoms of the presence of parasites, will allow you to think about the consequences and will serve as a reason for the speedy seeking a doctor!
