Parasites are the simplest types of bacteria that live on nutrients from another organism, the parasite. 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. Very often, these bacteria are found in children, since they do not have such a high level of immunity, while they have a lot of contact with animals and dirty objects.
Remember that a small child often takes everything in his mouth?
These articles may contain dangerous parasites. This article provides a classification of parasites in the human body, how to treat infectious diseases, and what you should do to prevent harmful bacteria from entering your body.
Parasitic bacteria of the human body, in which organs can they live?
In the human body and on its skin 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 serious illnesses and are more difficult to eliminate than external parasites. Medicine has already found many ways to get rid of them, 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 commonly, endogenous parasites are found in the intestines, muscles, blood, lungs, heart, and liver. Some species even live in nerve tissue. Ectogenic parasites live on the skin.
How can parasites enter the body?
The first is to ingest bacteria into the body with food and water. Sometimes it gets infected or contaminated, then microorganisms start to multiply there. Insects like flies and cockroaches also carry many harmful bacteria. Certain types of food are initially contaminated - raw fish or raw meat. Very often the meat of cattle is infected with parasites, so a person does not eat it raw.
The second is contact-household. In this case, the parasites are transmitted by humans, household items or animals. Very often, infectious bacteria are carried by street animals - dogs, cats, birds and rats.
The third is blood transfer by mosquitoes. In the CIS countries, this happens rarely, most often infected mosquitoes live in warm countries. The fourth is the independent entry of certain insects into the human body. They gnaw through skin and enter muscle tissue or blood, then travel to 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 imperceptible, 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 experience constipation, vomiting, or diarrhea.
But the general signs of the presence of parasites in humans are: insomnia, general fatigue, headaches, and sometimes allergic reactions. Very 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 in humans are worms or roundworms. They cause indigestion and stomach pain, irritability, insomnia and anxiety attacks, sometimes dizziness. Detecting them is quite easy, you can see them in feces or get a positive test result for a worm egg;
- Next comes a rather dangerous parasite - tapeworm. It often causes discomfort or pain in the stomach, diarrhea, a sudden appetite (we eat a lot, but we do not gain weight), pain in the liver and the presence of its worms in the stool;
- in the presence of pinworms in a person, he may notice a loss of appetite, insomnia, nervousness and itching in the anus.
Why are parasites dangerous?
They disrupt the functioning of organs, cause inflammatory processes in tissues and destroy them. They produce toxic substances that destroy the body.
A parasite that parasitizes you can cause a lack of vitamins, general weakening and reduced immunity in adults and children. The presence of such a parasite in children is very dangerous, since they significantly slow down their development. It is very often difficult to get rid of parasites in the body, since 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 you a certain medicine or another more natural remedy.
There is also treatment with folk remedies, but it is recommended to do this in symbiosis with medication.
medical treatment
Doctors have long found an effective treatment for parasites in humans.
Some medications come in pill form, 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. In addition, the drugs have differences in the age of the patients for whom they are intended.
In the modern world, there is another way to cure 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 intestines with an enema, then oxygen is introduced by the tube 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 drug method.
Parasites: timely treatment with folk remedies
Various parasites in the human body can be eliminated with folk remedies, even some doctors recommend natural remedies to get rid of these parasites.
Pumpkin seeds are the best known remedy for treating parasites. They contain many nutrients that are beneficial to humans and their intestinal microflora, but harmful to harmful protozoa. In order to be completely cured, eat 20 grams of pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach in the morning, then 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 cleansing the intestines with an enema. To prepare a decoction, you can take wormwood, cloves, celandine or tansy. All of them have a pungent and bitter taste, so they make the environment in the intestines unsuitable for parasites.
However, be careful what herbs you use, many of them are prohibited for pregnant women.
Diet to prevent parasites
Anyone who has ever encountered the presence of parasites knows how important rehabilitation and prevention are. For this, the attending physician often prescribes a special diet. Separate meals are recommended when eating carbohydrates and proteins separately from each other. Because if we eat them together, the stomach does not receive a precise signal of what needs to be digested and which enzymes are needed for this.
Incompletely digested food is a great way for parasites to feed, so they can continue to live and grow.
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 must take a 2 hour break between each dose.

Take 15 walnuts, remove the green skin from them and fill them with vodka. Leave to infuse for a month in a dark, dry place. Then dilute a drop of tincture in half a glass of water and drink.
Gradually increase the dose by one drop each day for seven days. After that, gradually increase the intake to 2 teaspoons, take the drug several times a day. Then continue taking 2 teaspoons of the tincture, twice a day, throughout the year. It is a rather long cleaning, but very effective.
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 dose, by the end of the period you should reach one 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.
