The World Health Organization has proven that 95% of humanity lives in the body with various parasites. These parasitic organisms can colonize any organ, even the ear and eye, causing a number of serious and fatal diseases. This is why it is so important to know what symptoms the parasites may have in the human body and what medications to help get rid of them.
There are characteristic symptoms of infecting the human body with parasites.
Parasites are dangerous to humans
Many varieties of helminths can exist for a long time and actively reproduce in the human body without showing themselves in any way. That’s why people haven’t even known they have been infected with worms for years. As a result, they do not take an anthelmintic and the diseases resulting from their presence become chronic with a recurrent course.
In addition, the internal organs affected by the parasitism of the helminths cease to function fully. Immunity is also reduced and the human body is unable to resist various infections.
The most dangerous is that parasites of unique shape and size can be present in our body that can close the intestinal cavity, leading to serious complications.
If intestinal obstruction occurs, the medication is helpless and immediate surgery is required, otherwise it can be fatal.
What signs you may suspect of the presence of parasites
The symptoms of parasites in the body vary depending on what helminths a person has had to deal with and on which internal organ they have settled. Consider the most common symptoms of the presence of parasites in the human body.
Intoxication
Poisoning is a mandatory symptom of parasites. This is due to the fact that helminths parasitizing our bodies release a lot of toxic substances, so the whole body is poisoned. A person may experience headaches, weakness, nausea, loss of appetite, and irritability.
A parasitic infection can cause a variety of allergic reactions.
Allergy
The symptoms of the presence of helminths in the human body are very often manifested in rashes on the skin. Such rashes may appear and disappear intermittently, while dermatologicals are virtually unhelpful. In childhood, this can manifest as diathesis. Similar phenomena occur due to the same toxic components excreted by the parasites. If someone was prone to allergies before the worms appeared, they may experience more severe symptoms, swollen mucous membranes, bronchospasm, and so on.
Weight loss
A symptom of the presence of parasites in humans is also that they are well fed and their weight does not increase but decreases. This is especially true for kids while they may seem exhausted. This is because parasitic worms live inside a person due to the use of large amounts of nutrients entering the body.
Intestinal diseases
Signs of parasites in the body can manifest as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and severe abdominal pain. Such symptoms are often attributed to dysbiosis and are attempted to be cured with medications or even antibiotics, but such treatment does not produce positive results.
Abnormalities in bowel work are often accompanied by helminthiasis.
Anemia
As well as the fact that parasites in humans support their vital activities at the expense of nutrients, there is a shortage of them to meet the body’s own needs. In this case, the most important manifestation is iron deficiency anemia, which explains the too pale skin and mucous membranes, as well as systematic dizziness.
Painful feelings in the joints and muscles
Scientists have long confirmed the fact that helminths are able to move throughout the body, which can cause them to enter a person’s muscles and joints. During the migration, one experiences severe pain in these places. Very often, such a manifestation is attributed to the occurrence of arthritis and is started to be treated with completely different medications that are needed to get rid of the worms. If there are parasites in the muscles, the tissues they damage cause the pain.
Biliary pancreatitis
If biliary tract inflammation occurs, it may be due to the presence of parasites in the body. Under these conditions, the main symptom is abdominal pain, which is often given to the back or hypochondria.
Such pains occur especially when a person has consumed alcohol or ate some smoked, fried, sour, or spicy food.
Gallbladder problems
Certain types of parasites can settle in the gallbladder. In this case, the worms may not show up for a long time, but many people notice a change in their well-being. In this organ, in the presence of helminths, the person may feel pain in the abdomen on the right side under the ribs, a bitter taste appears periodically in the mouth, and sometimes nausea with vomiting reflexes.
Papillomas
Health professionals believe that papillomas indicate the presence of parasites in the human body. Helminthiasis often causes no symptoms and a person lives with worms for a long time without being aware of it. If you suddenly have a lot of papillomas on your body, you may want to suspect an infection and have an ovarian scan.
The appearance of papillomas may indicate the presence of helminths in the body.
People often do not associate the appearance of papillomas with the presence of worms in the body, so every effort is made to eliminate cosmetic defects, and the disease worsens significantly in the process. It should be understood that if you do not look for the cause of papillomas and do not eliminate them, they can become malignant.
Ear problems
Helmet patterns tend to migrate throughout the human body, so they can even get into the ears. However, getting into this organ, the parasitic worm "understands" that there are not too favorable conditions for life, as there is no nutrient. Consequently, by hitting the ear canal, the parasites continue to move in search of a more comfortable habitat using the ear canals.
How anthelmintic drugs affect parasites
Each drug has a different effect on the body and the uninvited guests themselves. Therefore, in order for the treatment of parasites in the body to be effective, the effect of the ingested tablet on the worms must be considered.
This is done in one of the following ways:
- The active substances of the drug inhibit the production processes of glycolysis inside the helminth samples. The effect is due to the parasite's muscles paralyzing and dying.
- Medical treatment with each drug is based on disrupting the function of the intestinal cells of the parasite and disrupting the processing of glucose, which leads to the death of the worms.
- There are drugs that work to block the functioning of the neuromuscular system in worms. Because of this, the parasites cannot stick to the intestinal wall and get out with the feces.
- In addition, the treatment of parasites is due to the fact that the drug that penetrates the human body destroys the impenetrable cuticle of the worms, so their body senses calcium very sharply. As a result, such an environment becomes unfavorable for parasitic worms.
After taking the medication, the vital activity of the parasites is inhibited and they are eliminated from the body.
What pills can cure parasites
In order for the parasites to leave the human body without complications, the medication must first be aimed at eliminating the symptoms and then destroying the worms. Many medicines have been developed in medicine to help people get rid of intruders. Medications should be prescribed by a specialist.
Folk remedies against helminths
For the treatment of worms, many prefer traditional folk remedies that have been proven for centuries over medicines. There are several ways to get rid of helminths using traditional medicine, consider the most common and effective recipes:
- Tansy. To control fungal and nematodes, take 1/3 of a spoonful of the dried flowers of the plant, grind to a powder, and mix with a small amount of honey. This treatment should be taken half an hour before breakfast and dinner for 3 days. On the last day, shortly before going to bed, take any laxative.
- Wormwood. This herb effectively fights many types of helminths. For such treatment, the ground leaves of the plant and the pumpkin seeds are mixed in equal proportions. This mixture is then poured with vodka and placed in a warm place for a week. After this time, take the medicine with 1 glass for 2-3 weeks before lunch and dinner.
- Immortelle. This plant helps get rid of tapeworms. To do this, take 2 tablespoons of immortelle, pour 2 cups boiling water, pour into a thermos and let stand for 12 hours. The product is then filtered and consumed in half a glass before each meal. This alternative treatment should be continued for 7-10 days.
Despite the existence of many medicines and folk remedies to get rid of worms, self-medication is strictly prohibited. In order for the treatment to be positive, you need to know for sure that the symptoms were caused by the presence of worms in the body and which worms have invaded.
A person cannot determine this on their own, so when a symptom first occurs, a specialist should be consulted and his or her recommendations should be strictly adhered to.
