Parasites are the simplest types of bacteria that live on the nutrients of another organism, parasitizing on it. They feed on ready-made organic substances produced by others.
There are currently more than twenty species of parasitic life forms that can live in the bodies of animals or humans.
All of them can enter our body and cause a large number of diseases and infections. Very often such bacteria are found in children because they do not have such a high level of immunity, while they have a lot of contact with animals and some dirty things.
Do you remember that a small child often takes everything in his mouth?
These products may contain dangerous parasites. This article provides a classification of parasites in the human body, how to treat infectious diseases and what you need to do to prevent harmful bacteria from entering your body.
Parasitic bacteria in the human body, in which organs can they live?
The simplest bacteria are in the human body and on its skin, they can be unicellular or 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 amoebae, worms and insect larvae.
The latter are the most dangerous, while the former are simply unpleasant.
Internal parasites often cause serious diseases and are harder to get rid of external parasites. Medicine has already found many ways to get rid of them, and also has extensive experience in the treatment of parasites in the human body.
Each of the parasites has its ideal place in the human body, where there are all the conditions for a parasitic lifestyle, ie the necessary nutrients 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 even live in nerve tissue. Ectogenic parasites live on the skin.
How can parasites enter the body?
The first way is to ingest bacteria in the body with food and water. Sometimes it is infected or contaminated, so the microorganisms begin to multiply there. Insects such as flies and cockroaches also carry many harmful bacteria. Some foods are contaminated initially - raw fish or raw meat. Very often cattle meat is infected with parasites, so people do not eat it raw.
The second is contact-bit. In this case, the parasites are transmitted by humans, through household items or animals. Infectious bacteria are often transmitted by stray animals - dogs, cats, birds and rats.
The third is the transmission of blood by mosquitoes. In the CIS countries this happens rarely, 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, then go where they have the best living conditions.
What are the symptoms of parasites?
Parasites in the human body can cause very different symptoms - from insomnia, which is often unnoticeable, to skin lesions. For example, ectoparasites often cause skin lesions and scabies. Endoparasites that live in the lungs often cause coughing. When in the gut, you may be worried about constipation, vomiting or diarrhea.
But common signs of parasites in humans include 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 for humans are worms or roundworms. They cause indigestion and stomach pain, irritability, insomnia and anxiety attacks, sometimes dizziness. Detecting them is easy enough, you can see them in the feces or get a positive result from the worm egg test;
- Next is a very dangerous parasite - tapeworm. It often causes discomfort or pain in the abdomen, diarrhea, brutal appetite (eat a lot but 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 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 pest that parasitizes on you can cause a lack of vitamins, general weight loss and reduced 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 often difficult to get rid of parasites in the body, as they tend to adapt to the 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 medicine or another, more natural medicine.
There is also treatment with folk remedies, but it is recommended to be carried out in symbiosis with drugs.
medical treatment
Doctors have long found effective treatments against parasites in humans.
Some drugs are available in tablet form, while others are available in other forms, such as liquids. The dosage is determined only by the doctor, it is not possible to do it alone without side effects. The drugs also have differences in the age of the patients for whom they are intended.
In today's world there is another way to treat people with parasites. It is called oxygen and appears relatively recently, it is carried out only in hospitals under the supervision of a doctor. First, the patient is cleaned of the intestine with an enema, then oxygen is introduced by the method of the probe. After filling the stomach and rectum with oxygen, the parasites die. With this method of healing, the patient does not get any side effects, unlike the drug method.
Parasites: rapid treatment with folk remedies
Various parasites in the human body can be removed by folk remedies, even some doctors recommend some natural remedies to get rid of such pests.
Pumpkin seeds are the most famous remedy for parasites. They contain many nutrients that are beneficial to humans and their intestinal microflora, but are harmful to protozoan pests. To completely heal, eat 20 grams of pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach in the morning, and later 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 are used anthelmintic teas, and after cleansing the intestines with an enema. To prepare a decoction, you can take wormwood, cloves, celandine or tansy. They all have a sharp and bitter taste, which makes the environment in the gut unsuitable for pests.
However, be careful with the herbs you use, many of which 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. Therefore, the doctor often prescribes a special diet. A separate diet is 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 what enzymes are needed for this.
Incompletely digested food is an excellent way for parasites to feed, so they continue to live and thrive.
For example, meat, legumes should not be eaten with potatoes, pasta or bread. It is better to combine them with vegetables. If you want to eat carbohydrates and proteins, you should take a 2-hour break between meals.

Purification of the body
To cleanse and expel unwanted parasites from the body will help some plants that can often be found on sale in pharmacies, markets or supermarkets.
For the first method you will need green walnut peel. If you live in a hot region, you can certainly find walnut trees and collect unripe fruit from them. Take 15 nuts, remove the green peel from them and fill them with vodka. Leave to infuse for a month, in a dark, dry place. Then dilute one drop of tincture in half a glass of water and drink.
Gradually increase the dose by drop every day for seven days. Then also gradually increase the intake to 2 teaspoons, take the drug several times a day. Then continue to take 2 teaspoons of tincture, twice a day throughout the year. This is quite a long course of cleaning, but very effective.
An easier way is to use cloves. They must be ground to a powder. Just take one and a half teaspoons of this powder. Gradually reduce the dose over ten days, reaching one teaspoon at the end of the period.
Various freshly squeezed juices will help to cleanse the intestines. 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.
