The world is designed in such a way that parasites invade the human body and feed on its nutrient supply.Many people who carefully monitor their health, live an active life, try to eat a balanced diet, cannot achieve the desired result;the reason may be helminths, which take all the beneficial substances from the host and leave a small part.
This lifestyle of these pests is very convenient for them;in fact, their presence may go unnoticed for a long time.This is because the symptoms of a worm infection are very similar to those of other diseases;the infected person can be treated for other diseases for a long time and positive dynamics are not observed.
Symptoms
Strangely, parasites do not have a digestive system, yet they feed exclusively on useful substances present in the host.Thanks to the beneficial substances, their lifespan increases significantly, but the person's condition noticeably deteriorates.
Symptoms of infection may be absent or may resemble symptoms of other diseases.For example:
- hookworm larvae in the lungs have symptoms similar to pneumonia;
- pinworm larvae cause symptoms of appendicitis;
- Opisthorchis larvae can resemble pancreatitis.
The infection is often accompanied by a cold: sore throat, sinusitis, bronchitis or other similar diseases.Suspicion may begin with the following changes:
- A sharp change in the functioning of the digestive system (diarrhea, bloating, constipation);
- Pain occurs in the joints and muscles;
- An allergic reaction appeared on the skin;
- Anemia develops (most worms feed on blood, which leads to iron deficiency);
- Sudden weight gain or loss;
- Change in mental status:depression, panic attacks, strong irritability, sleep disorders (while the worms are in the human body, they release toxins that are dangerous to the human body).
- Grinding teeth at night;
- Decreased immunity, frequent viral and infectious diseases are observed;
- Inflammation of the respiratory system;
- Oncology (the long-term presence of worms contributes to the degeneration of cells into cancer cells).
It should be understood that the presented symptoms do not indicate the presence of parasites, only the assumption of their presence.Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after a complete diagnosis.The full range of possible symptoms is not presented;in addition to the above, disorders of the liver, kidney, and cardiovascular system appear.Violations develop into more serious problems requiring specialist intervention.
