Parasites are the simplest types of bacteria that live on another organism's nutrients, parasitizing it. They feed on ready-made organic substances produced by others.
Currently, there are more than twenty types of parasitic life forms that can live in the body of animals or humans.
All of them can enter our body and cause a large number of diseases and infections. Most often, such bacteria are found in children, as they do not have such a high level of immunity, while they have a lot of contact with animals and some dirty things.
Remember that a small child often takes everything in his mouth?
These items can contain dangerous parasites. This article provides a classification of parasites in the human body, how to treat infectious diseases, and what needs to be done to prevent harmful bacteria from entering the body.
Parasitic bacteria in the human body, in which organs can they live?
In the human body and on its skin there are the simplest bacteria, they can be unicellular and multicellular.
Parasites that live on the body are called ectoparasites. This species includes bedbugs, lice, and similar scabies pathogens. Others are called endoparasites because they live inside the human body. These include amoebas, worms and insect larvae.
The latter are the most dangerous, while the former are simply unpleasant.
Internal parasites often cause severe disease and are more difficult to get rid of than external parasites. Medicine has already found many ways to get rid of it, and also has a lot of experience in treating parasites in the human body.
Each of the parasites has its ideal place in the human body, where they have all the conditions for a parasitic lifestyle, that is, the nutrients necessary for growth and reproduction. Some of them can move as they grow.
Most often, endogenous parasites can be found in the intestines, muscles, blood, lungs, heart and liver. Some species also live in nerve tissues. Ectogenic parasites live on the skin.
How can parasites enter the body?
The first way is the ingestion of bacteria into the body with food and water. Sometimes it is infected or contaminated, so microorganisms start multiplying there. Insects such as flies and cockroaches also carry a lot of harmful bacteria. Some types of food are initially contaminated: raw fish or raw meat. Most often, the meat of livestock is infected with parasites, so a person does not eat it raw.
The second is home contact. In this case, parasites are transmitted by humans, through household items or animals. Most often, infectious bacteria are carried by street animals: dogs, cats, birds and rats.
The third is the transfer of blood by mosquitoes. In the CIS countries, this rarely happens, most often infected mosquitoes live in hot countries. The fourth is the independent entry of some insects into the human body. They gnaw through the skin and penetrate muscle tissue or blood, so they go where they have the best living conditions.
What are the symptoms of parasites?
Parasites in the human body can cause completely different symptoms: from insomnia, which is often unnoticeable, to skin formations. For example, ectoparasites often cause skin lesions and scabies. Endoparasites that live in the lungs often cause coughing. When they are in the intestines, you may be bothered by constipation, vomiting, or diarrhea.
But the general signs of the presence of parasites in humans are as follows: insomnia, general fatigue, headache and sometimes allergic reactions. Most often people use folk remedies, but they are not always pleasant, for example, not everyone can drink a glass of sauerkraut juice with worms.
Consider the symptoms in the presence of different types of parasites:
- The most common parasites for humans are worms or roundworms. They cause indigestion and stomach pain, irritability, insomnia and anxiety attacks, sometimes dizziness. To detect them is quite easy, you can see them in feces or get a positive result for a worm egg;
- Then comes a rather dangerous parasite: tapeworms. It often causes discomfort or pain in the abdomen, diarrhea, brutal appetite (you eat a lot, but you don't gain weight), pain in the liver and presence of its worms in the stool;
- in the presence of pinworms in a person, he may notice loss of appetite, insomnia, nervousness and itching in the anus.
Why are parasites dangerous?
They disrupt the functioning of organs, cause inflammatory processes in the tissues and destroy them. They produce toxic substances that destroy the body.
A parasite that parasites on you can cause a lack of vitamins, a general weakening and a decrease in immunity in both adults and children. The presence of such a parasite in children is very dangerous, as they significantly slow down their development. It is very often difficult to get rid of parasites in the body, as they tend to adapt to their environment and do not want to leave their usual home.
How to treat parasites?
To get rid of parasites, you must first consult a doctor. He will prescribe a certain drug or other more natural remedy.
There is also a treatment with folk remedies, but it is recommended to carry it out in symbiosis with drugs.
medical treatment
Doctors have long found an effective treatment for parasites in humans.
Some medicines come in tablets, while others come in other forms, such as liquids. The dosage is determined only by the doctor, it is not possible to do it yourself without side effects. Furthermore, the drugs have differences in the age of the patients they are intended for.
In the modern world, there is another way to treat people with parasites. It is called oxygen and appeared relatively recently, it is carried out only in hospitals under the supervision of a doctor. First, the patient is cleansed from the intestine with an enema, then oxygen is introduced by the probe method. After filling the stomach and rectum with oxygen, the parasites die. With this method, the cured patient does not receive any side effects, unlike the pharmacological method.
Parasites - quick treatment with folk remedies
Various parasites in the human body can be removed with folk remedies, even some doctors recommend some natural remedies to get rid of such parasites.
Pumpkin seeds are the most famous remedy for treating parasites. They contain many nutrients that are beneficial to humans and their intestinal microflora, but are harmful to parasites of protozoa. To be completely healed, eat 20 grams of pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach in the morning and, after 30-40 minutes, drink a laxative.
Vegetable oils can be used as natural laxatives, the most common being castor oil.
For the treatment of parasites with folk remedies in adults, anthelmintic teas are used, and after cleaning the intestines with an enema. To prepare a decoction, you can take wormwood, cloves, celandine or tansy. All of them have a sharp and bitter taste, so they make the environment in the intestine unsuitable for parasites.
However, be careful with the herbs you use, many of them are off-limits for pregnant women.
Diet to prevent parasites
Anyone who has ever encountered the presence of parasites knows how important rehabilitation and prevention is. For this, the attending physician often prescribes a special diet. Separate meals are recommended, when you eat carbohydrates and proteins separately from each other. Because if we eat them together, the stomach does not receive an accurate signal of what needs to be digested and which enzymes are needed for it.
Underdigested food is a great way to feed on parasites, so they continue to live and develop.
For example, meat, legumes should not be eaten with potatoes, pasta or bread. It is best to combine them with vegetables. If you want to eat carbohydrates and proteins, you should take a 2 hour break between each intake.

Take 15 nuts, remove the green peel and fill them with vodka. Leave to infuse for a month, in a dark and dry place. Then dilute a drop of tincture in half a glass of water and drink.
Gradually increase the dosage by one drop every day for seven days. After that, also gradually increase the intake to 2 tsp, take the medicine a couple of times a day. Then continue taking 2 teaspoons of the tincture, twice a day, throughout the year. This is a rather long, but very effective cleansing course.
An easier way is to use clove seeds. They must be ground to a powder state. Just take one and a half teaspoons of this powder. Over the course of ten days, gradually reduce the dosage, at the end of the period you should reach a teaspoon.
To cleanse the intestines, various freshly squeezed juices will help. For example, carrot, cucumber, lemon, beet, apple - all these juices, when consumed on an empty stomach, create a certain environment in the stomach and remove parasites from the body.
