When people look at pictures of parasites on the human body, this unpleasant sight does not satisfy them. And everyone thinks that such a monster will not be placed inside him for the reason that he always washes his hands thoroughly and there is no pet that carries this evil.
There is simply a large number and variety of parasites living in the human body. They come in a variety of sizes. Some of them are tall, sometimes reaching several meters in length, others are completely invisible without a microscope. But big and small parasites have a purpose - to capture the human body and make it their "home". Parasites in humans live for a long time. There they feed and reproduce. They can be found everywhere - in hair, skin and internal organs. And only a few of the symptoms signal the invasion of unexpected guests.
There is a lot of information and pictures describing different types of worms, thanks to which people today are less aware of this problem.
Why are helminths dangerous?
There are up to 250 different species of parasitic creatures in the world that attack not only the intestines but also many other human organs. There are times when helminths are found in the heart, liver and lungs. The scary thing is that these cases are not isolated. Humanity is shocked by statistics, which say that 95% of the population has parasites. Scientific research has proven that from toxic substances released by parasites as a result of their vital activity, infected people suffer from infectious diseases and even oncology. Up to 15 million people die each year becoming victims of helminths. In many cases, people do not even have doubts about "aliens", which worsens the situation.
Many pictures of parasites can not be viewed calmly and without horror. It is hard to believe that such disgusting creatures can be inside a person and live there for a long time. In the process of this parasitic life, they are constantly actively reproducing. From this, people develop various diseases, they turn into chronic forms with an alternation of frequent relapses. Due to the helminths that live in the body, its depletion occurs.
From such an unpleasant neighborhood, the systems fail and their full functioning stops. As a result, immunity is reduced, which leads to susceptibility to all types of infections. In people poisoned by toxic waste, the body weakens. All this does not happen overnight. Parasites that live in a person gradually deprive him of strength, energy and health. Many people are not familiar with the signs of pests. This ignorance leads to long-term lack of treatment and serious health problems.
Parasites in the human body
As already mentioned, there are a large number of parasitic creatures that inhabit humans. Some people err when they think they can only be placed in the intestines or colon. This view is wrong because uninvited guests can infiltrate any human organ.
Helminths can attack:
- Muscles;
- Drita;
- Liver;
- Nodes;
- Truri;
- Blood system;
- Eyes.
For example, cat lice, giardia, echinococcus, hepatic mumps attack the liver and gallbladder, and utripov, ascaris, bovine tapeworm and worms can be found in the digestive tract. Lung jumping is most comfortable in the human lungs. Filaria, trichinella, toxocara and schistosome can live in muscle. The life of parasites in humans sometimes lasts for decades. They have an amazing ability to adapt and disguise themselves in any situation. Therefore, it is quite difficult to identify them immediately in humans. You can not ignore the symptoms that indicate the slightest hint of the presence of a parasite in the body. Smaller signals in this regard should serve as a reason to start fighting it.
Common types of helminths
A large number of different species of helminths is simply impossible to consider in one article. But the most common ones can be described. The most common human parasites are:
- Ascaris. This is a large round helminth, reaching a length of 40 cm. Ascaris infection can occur from one person to another. This parasite can enter a person from contaminated water and food. In frequent cases, the larvae can damage the intestinal walls. There are times when roundworms that fall into the blind process provoke an attack of acute appendicitis. Due to their movement along the bile ducts, jaundice, abdominal pain, purulent cholecystitis, liver abscess and peritonitis may occur. Ascaris, which has entered a person’s lungs, causes a bloody cough and shortness of breath.
- Vlagoslav. This human worm can settle in the appendix, cecum or colon. Symptoms resemble problems in the gastrointestinal tract, accompanied by a decrease in appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, pain, gas.
- Stake worms. Small round helminths, 3-10 cm in size. Infection with these helminths is accompanied by itching in the anus, especially in the evening and at night. There are cases of permanent infection when worm eggs fall under the nails.
- Trichinella. These parasites are transmitted to humans through poorly processed meat. Helminth eggs first enter the intestine, after which they are carried through the blood to the muscles. Most often, infection with these worms is manifested by an inflammatory process in the eyes, swelling of the eyelids and face. Sometimes there is a thirsty condition and painful symptoms in the muscle tissue.
Symptoms indicating the presence of parasites
Each pest has its own specific location. For these reasons, the clinical picture of lesions is always different. But there are general signs of parasite infection in the body that everyone should be aware of. So, the following symptoms indicate the fact that there are human parasites in the body:
- Intoxication, which occurs due to poisoning of the body by helminths. Associated with headache, nausea, loss of appetite, irritability.
- Allergic manifestationsin the form of a rash that suddenly appears and disappears. This rash can not be cured with dermatological medication. If people prone to allergies become infected with the parasite, it looks even brighter and may be associated with bronchospasm and swelling of the mucous membranes.
- Anemia, which occurs due to the fact that all beneficial substances that are intended for humans are absorbed by worms. As a result, the body is in their absence panic for normal life. Most often, there is not enough iron, as a result of which the skin becomes pale and dizzy.
- Weight lossis quite common in such cases. The body constantly fights for beneficial substances with parasites. This symptom is more pronounced in infants. With good nutrition, they do not gain weight and look miserable.
- Presence of periodic hyperthermia,in which the temperature does not exceed 37. 5 degrees. As a rule, it is not accompanied by signs of colds.
- Bowel disordersThis is an important sign of the presence of helminths in the body. There may be constipation, diarrhea, gas, and abdominal pain that cannot be treated with medication.
Pictures of intestinal parasites look awful. Pests stick to the intestinal walls, irritating them and causing inflammation. With such an infection, patients develop abdominal pain of unclear localization, and defecation is disturbed. The parasite removes all useful vitamins and minerals intended for human life. As a result, his drastic weight loss occurs, his hair becomes dull, his skin becomes pale. In general, the body comes to a state of complete withering and misery.
There are times when parasites are found in the human mouth. Such unpleasant moments occur for various reasons, mainly due to illiterate self-medication with popular methods, incorrect dosing of medicines, treatment without knowing the type of worms. Such moments can cause improper localization and migration of parasites with damage to the abdominal walls and penetration into the esophagus. Sometimes helminths can come out with vomiting.
In order to effectively recover from helminthic infestation and avoid possible unpleasant moments, you should not treat yourself, but instead use the help of competent doctors.
