When people look at pictures of parasites in the human body, this unpleasant sight does not please them. And everyone thinks that such a monster will not settle in him for the reason that he always washes his hands thoroughly and there is no pet to carry this evil.
In the human body live just a huge number and variety of parasites. They are available in different sizes. Some of them are long, sometimes up to several meters long, others are completely invisible without a microscope. But both large and small parasites have one goal - to capture the human body and make it their "home". Parasites in humans live a long time. There they feed and breed. They can be found everywhere - in the hair, on the skin and in the internal organs. And only some of the symptoms signal the invasion of unexpected guests.
There is a lot of information and photos describing different types of worms, thanks to which people today are little aware of this problem.
Why are helminths dangerous?
There are up to 250 species of various parasitic creatures in the world that attack not only the intestines but also many other human organs. There are cases when helminths are found in the heart, liver and lungs. The scary thing is that these cases are not isolated. Mankind is shocked by the statistics that 95% of the population has parasites. Research has shown that the toxic substances released by parasites as a result of their vital activity, infected people suffer from infectious and even cancer. Up to 15 million people die each year from helminths. In many cases, people do not even suspect "aliens", which worsens the situation.
Many photos of parasites cannot 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 alternating frequent relapses. Due to the helminths living in the body, its depletion occurs.
From such an unpleasant neighborhood, the systems fail and their full functioning stops. As a result, immunity decreases, leading to vulnerability to all types of infections. In people poisoned by toxic waste, the body weakens. All this does not happen overnight. Parasites living in a person gradually take away his strength, energy and health. Many people are not aware of 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 huge number of parasitic creatures that inhabit humans. Some people mistakenly think that they can only be found in the gut or colon. This view is wrong because uninvited guests can penetrate any human organ.
Helminths can attack:
- Muscles;
- Light;
- Liver;
- Compounds;
- Brain;
- esophagus;
- Blood system;
- Eyes.
For example, feline flukes, giardia, echinococci, liver flukes attack the liver and gallbladder, and thrips, roundworm, bovine tapeworm and whipworms can be found in the digestive tract. Pulmonary methyl is most convenient in the human lungs. Filaria, Trichinella, Toxocara and Schistosomes can live in muscles. The life of parasites in humans sometimes lasts for decades. They have an amazing ability to adapt and mask under all conditions. Therefore, it is quite difficult to identify immediately in humans. You can not ignore the symptoms, which show the slightest hint of the presence of a parasite in the body. The slightest sign of this should serve as a reason to start fighting it.
Common types of helminths
A large number of different types of helminths is simply impossible to consider in one article. But the most common 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 injure the intestinal walls. There are cases when roundworms, which fall into a blind process, provoke an attack of acute appendicitis. Due to their movement along the bile ducts, jaundice, colic, 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 be found in the appendix, caecum or colon. The symptoms resemble problems in the gastrointestinal tract, accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, pain, flatulence.
- Blades. 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. The helminth eggs first enter the intestines and are then transmitted through the blood to the muscles. Most often, the infection with these worms is manifested by an inflammatory process in the eyes, swelling of the eyelids and face. Sometimes there is a febrile condition and painful symptoms in the muscle tissue.
Symptoms indicating the presence of parasites
Each pest has its own specific place. For these reasons, the clinical picture of the lesions is always different. But there are common signs of parasite infection that everyone should know. So, the following symptoms tell about the fact that there are human parasites in the body:
- Intoxication, which occurs due to poisoning of the body by helminths. It is accompanied by headache, nausea, loss of appetite, irritability.
- Allergic manifestationsin the form of a rash that suddenly appears and disappears. This rash cannot be cured with dermatological drugs. If people prone to allergies become infected with the parasite, it looks even brighter and may be accompanied by bronchospasm and swelling of the mucous membranes.
- Anemia, which occurs due to the fact that all useful substances that are intended for humans are absorbed by worms. As a result, the body is in a panic due to their lack of 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 is constantly fighting for nutrients with parasites. This symptom is more pronounced in babies. With good nutrition, they do not gain weight and look deplorable.
- 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.
- Intestinal disordersThis is an important sign of the presence of helminths in the body. There may be constipation, diarrhea, flatulence and abdominal pain that cannot be treated with medication.
Pictures of parasites in the gut look awful. Pests attach to the intestinal walls, irritating them and causing inflammation. With such an infection, patients develop abdominal pain of unclear location and the stool is disturbed. The parasite takes away all the useful vitamins and minerals intended for human life. As a result, his drastic weight loss occurs, his hair becomes cloudy, his skin turns pale. In general, the body reaches a complete withering and deplorable state.
There are times when parasites are found in a person's mouth. Such unpleasant moments occur for various reasons, mainly due to illiterate self-medication with folk methods, improper dosing of drugs, 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 recover effectively from a helminth infestation and to avoid possible unpleasant moments, you should not self-medicate, but rather seek the help of competent doctors.
