Hello everyone, dear readers! Today the topic will be slippery and not very pleasant, but very relevant. I decided to dedicate it to parasites that are often “residents” of our organisms. Imagine that there is a stormy life going on in your blood, intestines, and under your skin. B-rr! You will shudder at the thought.
Today, however, it has been scientifically proven that half of the planet's inhabitants are carriers of worms, of which there are around 200 species and “races”. That means, theoretically, you also fall into the risk group. We donate tests, you see, not that often. We live for ourselves, go to work, go to cafes and movies, and seem to feel good about ourselves. . .
Please wait. It is OK? And chronic fatigue and a strange wet cough that does not go away for months do not bother you, diarrhea and constipation and other gastrointestinal disorders? It's the same! But this is one of the signs of the presence of worms. Parasites in the human body cause a wide variety of symptoms. I also tried to summarize them in today's publication.
Long, round, flat and other
Which human parasites do you know? Worms? Rather, it is their generalized name. But the varieties are one huge slippery lump. Let's take it apart so we know who we're going to fight.
- The roundworms that live in the digestive system are the largest group. These include roundworms, side scrapers, whipworms, pinworms, and a few others. Your photos can be seen "in stock" on the Internet. They come to us for the notorious unwashed hands and unprocessed and dirty fruits and vegetables made from poorly cooked meat and fish. If you have a cat or dog at home, the chances of your worms are much higher.
- The second type are tapeworms: broadband worms, Echinococcus, pig and beef tapeworms. These helminths are much larger than the previous ones. Some of the wide tapeworms can be over 25 feet long! Such worms can eat with the whole body and with their surface absorb the substances that they need in you. They do not have a specific residence area in the body as they move freely in the body and also crawl into the brain and bone marrow. You can get infected by eating poorly fried meat or half-baked fish. That is why I never buy these products "spontaneously" at spontaneous markets, because the sellers at these outlets have obviously not heard of a veterinary inspection.
- Subcutaneous parasites (filamentous nematode, dirofilariae) live under the human skin. You can catch them in hot countries, for example in Africa or India, by flies, mosquitoes or bed bugs. They are often visible: on the skin, you will see a strange bulge that slips out from under your finger when pressed.
- Fluke worms: Fascilopsis, Liver fluke, and others. Their habitat is the intestines, liver and pancreas. The source is uncooked contaminated water, lightly salted, raw, poorly cooked fish.
- tissue worms. They are found in various tissues in our body, in muscles, brain and connective tissue and are parasitic. You can trap the infection from wildlife and pets: pigs, cats, horses, ducks and chickens.
Parasites in the human body: symptoms
In theory, any of the above guys can do their invisible attacks from within right now, and you don't even know it. Many live with worms inside and literally allow them to devour themselves for several years until an accidental analysis or physical exam by the doctor discovers their eggs in your analyzes. These are calm pests that not only feed on you, but also have time to multiply and release toxins.
I wanted to take a test coupon right away, right? But first check out the indirect signs of their presence. Just don't panic right away and don't self-diagnose. Many of these symptoms overlap with other medical conditions.
So you probably have worms if:
- You are suddenly anemic. Have normal hemoglobin levels decreased significantly so far? This may indicate that it is the helminths that are stealing your iron.
- You often feel sick for no reason and have strange stomach aches. A detailed ultrasound examination in infected patients reveals many microcracks, ulcers, wounds on the intestinal mucosa and other organs. This can cause inflammation and pain.
- Now diarrhea, now constipation. Are you eating as usual and the type of bowel movement has changed noticeably? Constipation can be caused by giant worms or small worms that intertwine into a ball. They close the manure outlet like a cork. Well, diarrhea is caused by microhelminths, which destroy and dilute the sodium and chlorides that are responsible for the normal consistency of the feces.
- Breaks the body, bones and joints. Worms can cause inflammation in the periarticular muscles and, as a result, discomfort.
- Acne, eczema, warts and other skin problems, as well as the deterioration of nails and hair, are caused by toxins released by parasites. Your liver can't process so many harmful substances that it affects your skin and hair.
- Excessive thinness or rapid weight gain. Worms take away many useful substances from us and lose them - we lose weight significantly, but they also eat sugar - and because of its deficiency, we occasionally eat a snack and get fat.
- Gas release and bloated stomach.
- grinding your teeth. They say that this is one of the most obvious signs, because in a dream our body is relaxed and asleep, and the worms are not sleeping, so there is an unconscious reaction - clench your teeth and they creak.
- Bad immunity. Its decline is due to the fact that the body has now used all defenses against parasites and simply no longer has any strength for other viruses coming from outside.
- Drowsiness, lethargy, apathy and irritability with normal diet and rest. Worms brazenly steal almost all the minerals and nutrients we need: potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium. Their deficiency affects the nervous system and well-being.
- itching. It usually intensifies at night when the worms accumulate on the anus to lay eggs. Doctors say we can meet the worm "face to face" at night to catch them doing their dirty business.
- Incomprehensible cough without a cold.
Did you find 4-5 symptoms? To be honest, neither do I. 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 detailed examination, you will be prescribed the necessary medication.
Parasites in the human body: displacement
Be prepared for your whole family to be treated. The rest of your household is likely to be infected as well, as parasites are spread very quickly through personal hygiene items, household items, and dishes.
Although all worm medicines are sold freely in pharmacies without a prescription, you do not have to choose them yourself. Some of them only work on a certain type of worm and are completely useless against the rest. In addition, these drugs have many contraindications.
Garlic parasite prophylaxis
Treatment with folk remedies, used by our grandmothers when there were no pills and pharmacies, is also widespread.
Now doctors recommend combining such home treatment with medical prescriptions. Therefore, we only use all of the herbs described below for prevention.
- Aniseed infusion works well to add to a hot bath. After sitting in it for about half an hour, you will get rid of a small handful of worms. You just can't stand the pungent smell of this herb permeating your skin, but you have to endure a little.
- The sorrel kills parasites with its acid. Therefore, chew the washed leaves in spring and summer.
- Ordinary raw pumpkin seeds make excellent helminths.
- Drink infused oak bark (200 ml - 2 tablespoons).
- Tansy also has good anti-parasitic properties. To prepare the broth, pour a tablespoon of their flowers with a glass of boiling water and insist on a closed thermos for 4 hours. Take a previously filtered medicinal mixture with 1 tbsp. Spoon 4 times a day before meals.
- Eat more garlic, onions, and horseradish. In worms, their pungent smells are similar after death, and at the same time they correct your broken immunity.
Do not think that one fine day all parasites will leave your body in a friendly formation of their own free will. They will live inside you and feed on you for a very long time, so it is better to drive them out immediately, otherwise in a few years you will get gray, earthy skin, brittle hair, digestive problems and a lack of all useful minerals. They will eat you alive so don't let them do it!
