Hello everyone, dear readers! Today's topic is slippery and not very pleasant, but very relevant. I decided to dedicate it to parasites, which are often "inhabitants" of our organisms. Imagine a stormy life in your blood, in your gut, under your skin. B-rr! A person will tremble at the thought.
However, it has been scientifically proven that half of the people living on the planet today are carriers of worms of about 200 species and "breeds". That is, in theory, you also fall into the risk group. We forgive the tests, you see, not so much. We live for ourselves, go to work, cafes and movies, and feel good. . .
Please wait. Is it good? Chronic fatigue and a strange wet cough that does not last for months, does not bother you, diarrhea and constipation and other breaks in the gastrointestinal tract? It's the same! But this is one of the signs of the existence of worms. Parasites in the human body provoke various symptoms. I tried to summarize them in today's edition.
long, round, straight and others
What human parasites do you know? Worms? Rather, they are generalized names. But the species is a very slippery egg. Let's separate it so that we know who we will fight.
- The largest group of roundworms living in the digestive system. These include roundworms, side scrapers, whips, pinworms and others. Photos can be seen "in stock" on the Internet. Unwashed hands, which are unknown to us, also come from poorly cooked meat and fish due to unprocessed and dirty fruits and vegetables. If you have a cat or a dog in your home, you are more likely to have worms.
- The second type of tapeworms: tapeworm, echinococcus, pork and cattle tapeworms. These helminths are larger than the previous ones. Some wide tapeworms can be more than 25 meters long! Such worms can eat the whole body by absorbing the substances they need inside you. They do not have a specific area in the body, because they move freely throughout the body and crawl into the brain and bone marrow. You can get it by eating poorly fried meat or half-cooked fish. For this reason, I never "miss" these products in the markets, because the sellers of these outlets have not heard of open veterinary control.
- Subcutaneous parasites (filamentous nematodes, dirofilaria) live under human skin. In hot countries, such as Africa or India, you can catch flies, mosquitoes or bedbugs. They often appear: you will see a strange bulge on the skin, if pressed, it will slip under the finger.
- Fluke worms: fascilopsis, liver fluke, etc. Their habitat is the intestine, liver and pancreas. The source is unboiled contaminated water, low-salt, raw, undercooked fish.
- Tissue worms. They are located in various tissues of our body, muscles, brain, connective tissues and are parasites. You can catch the infection from both wild and domestic animals: pigs, cats, horses, ducks and chickens.
Parasites in the human body: symptoms
Theoretically, each of the above types can currently make invisible attacks from within, and you don't even know it. Many live with worms inside, and literally, a random analysis or physical examination by a doctor will allow them to eat themselves for several years until they discover their eggs in your analysis. These are quiet pests that not only feed you, but also have time to multiply and release toxins.
I wanted to get a test coupon right away, right? But first, check for indirect signs of their presence. Just don't panic right away and diagnose yourself. Many of these symptoms coincide with other medical conditions.
So you probably have worms:
- You suddenly became bloodless. Previously, the number of normal hemoglobin decreased significantly? This may indicate that there are helminths stealing iron from you.
- You often get sick for no reason and have strange abdominal pain. Detailed ultrasound examination of infected patients reveals many micro-cracks, ulcers, wounds in the intestinal mucosa and other organs. This can cause inflammation and pain.
- Now diarrhea, now constipation. Do you eat as usual and the nature of your bowel movements has changed significantly? Constipation can be caused by giant worms or small worms that touch the ball. Like a fungus, they close the outlet for feces. Well, diarrhea is triggered by microhelminths that destroy sodium and chlorides, which are responsible for the normal consistency of feces.
- Breaks the body, bones and joints. Worms can cause inflammation and eventually discomfort in the periarticular muscles.
- Acne, eczema, warts and other skin problems, as well as deterioration of nails and hair are caused by toxins released by parasites. Your liver cannot process enough harmful substances to affect your skin and hair.
- Excessive weight loss. Worms take a lot of nutrients from us, they lose them - we lose a lot of weight, but they also eat sugar - and because of their deficiency, we sometimes eat a snack and gain weight.
- Flatulence and bloating.
- Grinding teeth. It is said to be one of the most obvious signs, because in sleep our body is relaxed and asleep, and the worms do not sleep, so there is an unconscious reaction - grinding your teeth and tearing them.
- Weak immunity. This decrease is due to the fact that the body loses all its defenses against all parasites and does not have the strength to other viruses from abroad.
- Drowsiness, lethargy, apathy and nervousness with a normal diet and rest. Worms shamelessly steal from us all the minerals and nutrients we need: potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium. Their absence affects the nervous system and well-being.
- Itching. It usually intensifies at night when worms gather in the anus to lay eggs. Doctors say that we can meet the worms "face to face" at night and catch them in their dirty work.
- Unexplained cough from a cold.
Yes, did you find 4-5 signs? Honestly, I don't either. And that means only one thing - it's time to go to the hospital to see a therapist, infectious disease specialist, immunologist or parasitologist. After a thorough examination, you will be prescribed the necessary medication.
Parasites in the human body: expulsion
Get your whole family ready for treatment. Because parasites are transmitted very quickly through personal hygiene items, household items and utensils, the rest of your family is also more likely to be infected.
Although all medicines for worms are sold freely and without a prescription in pharmacies, you do not need to choose them yourself. Some only work on one type of worm and are completely useless against the rest. In addition, these drugs have many contraindications.
Prevention of garlic parasite
Folk remedies used by our grandmothers when there were no pills or pharmacies are also widespread.
Doctors now recommend combining this home remedy with prescriptions, so we use all the herbs described below only for prevention.
- Anise infusion is good for adding to a hot bath. After sitting inside for about half an hour, you will get rid of a small handful of worms. They can't stand the pungent smell of this herb penetrating your skin, but you will have to put up with it for a while.
- Kills parasites with common sorrel. Therefore, do not hesitate to chew the washed leaves in spring and summer.
- Ordinary raw pumpkin seeds are excellent helminths.
- For brewed oak bark (200 ml - 2 tablespoons).
- Tansy also has a good antiparasitic effect. To prepare the broth, pour a tablespoon of flowers into a glass of boiling water and insist in a closed thermos for 4 hours. Take a healing mixture, previously filtered, 1 tbsp. spoon 4 times daily before meals.
- Eat more garlic, onions and horseradish. For worms, their pungent odors are similar, and at the same time you will repair your broken immunity.
Do not think that on a good day all the parasites will form your body in a friendly way of their own free will. They will live inside and feed you for a very long time, so it is better to start expelling them immediately, otherwise in a few years there will be gray, earthy skin, broken hair, digestive problems and a lack of useful minerals for everyone. They will eat you alive, so don't let that happen!
