Parasites in the body of children and adults are a very common phenomenon, according to some estimates in some population groups, the indicators are up to 80-90%.
Young and medium children are often sensitive to Pinworms infections, hunters -Tricinellosis, fishermen -PyPhiloborosis.
Furthermore, a person may not guess the presence of helminths, since not in all cases there are characteristic symptoms.
In addition, it should be borne in mind that signs of infection with parasites often resemble symptoms of other common pathologies for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, respiratory and nervous system.In such cases, people have been treated without success for various specialists for years.
Worms.How is the infection?
It is customary to separate the four main ways of penetration of parasites in the body:
- Soil.The ground contains a huge number of mature eggs of worms and many living individuals who arrive with animals and people.There is also direct contact: the transfer of eggs of worms with insects (mainly flies), with feces to food products.
- Contact with an infected person.This is the most common way of infection, which is characteristic, for example, for Pinworms.It is carried out by a man per person.
- Biogelminth path.The entrance of parasites into the body through a meat or a raw fish, saw, scarcely treated, that is, food, already infected with helminths.
- Bizio of insects.In the insect bite, the infection occurs, but this method is not so common.
The main mechanism of worms infection
This is an oral-fecal path, which consists in the penetration of the eggs of parasites in the body together with food and water.
Worms.Is it true that children are infected more often?
If infected with Pinworms, the female parasite at night is committed to laying the eggs.Skay from the intestine, near the anus, leaves at least 5,000 eggs.The child feels serious itching, gets trabons of the anus and at the same time the eggs fall under the nails.
The eggs spread everywhere - falling on bed linen, panties, face, hands, body.
In these cases, an adult shows a great vigilance of a child who does not always wash his hands simultaneously.Therefore, the parasites eggs remain thousands in the house of handles, clothes, products, toys.
The infection process goes further, the worms enter the body of other children and adults.
Children are really more often infected and not only because of a lower desire for personal hygiene.In children there is no normally functional protection, all connections of immunity are not formed.In addition, in children, in particular to the younger age, the acidity of the stomach is lower than adults.And this is a favorable factor in the development of helminths.
Children learn more about the world around them, trying everything for taste.It is impossible to get used to the rules of personal hygiene of the child, the development of skill does not occur before three or five years and sometimes later.
How do parasites propagate?
Not everyone knows that the worms do not multiply directly in the body.Each type of parasites has its period of a temporary life segment and a time comes when adults die.Pinworms live no more than two or four weeks, Ascarides for no more than a year.
Attention!The eggs are deposited by adults with sexually mature individuals and must leave the body of an infected person.Therefore, an increase in the number of individuals, for example, should only take place in the intestine in case of ri -efaction (through feces, water, household items, food, etc.).
The eggs must fall into the external environment and from there again in the human body.The maturation in the body continues a certain period, so the worms begin to actively pest.
How to exclude the infection with worms again?
There are only three rules that "work":
- Observance of hygiene.
- Preventive measures.
- Timely treatment (taking modern antielminic agents).
The intake of drugs is not recommended "just like that".The modern means of parasites are incredibly strong and toxic.They are used only when they confirm the diagnosis.In addition, its instrument is expected for each type of parasites.
There are preventive measures that work well relatively safe for the body and can be successfully applied, for example, popular methods.However, in any case, the consultation of a doctor is mandatory, especially when it comes to the treatment of children.
Parasite diseases or helminthy invasions
Attention!A large group of diseases in which the pathology develops due to the penetration of various parasites in the body falls within this term.
To date, science knows hundreds (!) Of their species.
This, in particular, includes:
- Infection from pathogenic bacteria and viruses.
- Penetration of parasites in the body:
- Protozoa.
- Arthropods.
- Unicellular.
- Multicellular.
Parasites infection.Why do changes appear in the work of the human body?
Any parasite, including pathogen bacterium, pathogen or worms, emits toxic substances that are their life products.This leads to changes in the work of human organs and systems due to toxins poisoning.
In addition, parasites:
- destroy the structure of tissue cells;
- damage the internal organs;
- Parasites in lymph and blood.
Symptoms of parasitic infection
The symptoms of the infection are very different, but it can be absent.For decades, a person may not suspect an infection and not feel discomfort.At the same time, there are such types of parasites that significantly worsen the quality of life.In some cases, a parasitic disease is the cause of death.
The signs of the disease depend on a huge number of factors, one of which is the type of parasite and its characteristics.
Parasite diseases can resemble:
- sore throat;
- sinusitis;
- bronchitis;
- damage to the nervous system;
- lung pathologies;
- Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, etc.Etc.
Some symptoms of parasitic infection
- Interruption of the function of the gastrointestinal tract, which occurs:
- Diarrhea.
- Flatulence (swelling).
- Chronic constipation.
- An irritated intestine syndrome.
- The appearance of muscles and joint pain.
- Allergic skin manifestations.
- Reducing blood hemoglobin indicators (iron deficiency anemia).
- Changes in body weight for no apparent reason (weight loss or weight gain).
- Mental disorders, including depressive disorders, insomnia, irritability, tears.
- Ginger teeth at night (broxsism).
- Signs of dysbiosis.
- Reduce immunity.
- General asthenia (loss of strength, weakness).
- Frequent inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system.
- Malignant neoplasms.
The details of parasitic diseases
Often the diagnosis is difficult, because often the doctor does not occur to the doctor to tie the psyche in the patient with a parasite cause.
At the same time, in some people, the infection causes serious psycho-emotional deviations that manifest themselves not only due to an increase in nervousness, irritability and constantly bad mood, but also with severe depression, up to the appearance of panic attacks that are treated for years of psychiatrists.
This response of the human body is due to a huge number of toxins that negatively affect all organs and systems.
The tendency to frequent colds and other diseases when infected with parasites is explained by disorders in the work of the immune system, since a large number of worms is blocking the synthesis of immunoglobulin A, which is responsible for the normal functioning of the body protection body.A person becomes defenseless before pathogenic microorganisms.
With a prolonged discovery of some parasites in the body, due to the same reduced immunity, in some cases, the degeneration of normal normal cells in evil.
Mental deviations, a decrease in the concentration of attention, the deterioration of memory, the inability to concentrate, the signs of excess chronic work, external indifference, apathy, exposure to stress, signs of acute infectious respiratory diseases occur with a lack of nutrients and vitamins in the human body.At the same time, food can be perfect.
In this case, parasites complicate the absorption process:
- minerals;
- vitamins;
- carbohydrates;
- proteins;
- fat.
The result of the life of parasites:
- strengthen the signs of chronic intoxication;
- pain in the muscles;
- Joint pain.
Why does a person suffer pain when infected with parasites?
Often people feel pain, for example, in the joints and take them for manifestations of another disease, which, presumably, has nothing to do with the penetration of parasites - this is arthritis.
This is due to the migration of the worms.In addition, inflammatory processes in the joints and muscles may be the result of the body's response to the penetration of parasites, as well as the result of the tissue damage.
Reasons for weight variations in parasitic infection
The weight can decrease and some patients know it, due to a decrease in appetite, digestive disorders, abdominal pain.
Units know that a sign of worms can be obesity.However, often a person significantly increases the weight due to a constant feeling of hunger (sucking the stomach), in this case there is a significant reduction in blood sugar, therefore the appetite increases.
Irritable intestine syndrome and parasites
The infection with parasites leads to the inflammation of the intestinal mucosa and the deterioration of the normal absorption process of nutrients from the products.
The fatty foods that should undergo transformation into the small intestine cause diarrhea or, on the contrary, constipation, while entering a scarcely elaborate form already in the large intestine.
In some cases, an aqueous watery chair can be observed, caused by substances similar to prostaglandins.Chronic constipation develops due to the blocking of the work of some organs.
For example, the stay of parasites in the biliary tract inevitably affects the liver and the location of parasites in the intestine often leads to difficulty in the defecation act.
Worms and inflammation of the respiratory tract
The appearance of many signs of respiratory diseases without a direct cause are the most likely symptoms of parasites infection in adults and children.
The infection can occur:
- chronic nose that colas;
- increase body temperature;
- cough;
- Expectorate selection;
- pneumonia.
Grind your teeth in a dream and worms
Science does not know the reasons for a phenomenon such as Broxsism.It is assumed that a touch of the tooth is a manifestation of poisoning and suits of the central nervous system.
Worms and rashes
Allergic skin reactions - A consequence of the activation of immunity to penetrate the parasites, which causes greater production of special blood cells (eosinophils).In addition, it should be emphasized that the worms themselves are an allergen for the human body.
Oncological problems and worms
Systematic poisoning by the disintegration products of parasites, a decrease in immune defense, a chronic deficiency of vital substances and a failure of the work of all organs and systems leads to some cases of malignant tumors.
Deterioration of the appearance of skin and worms
Manifests itself:
- the appearance of acne;
- bubbles;
- nettle;
- Papillomes;
- eczema;
- Long non -erable firce;
- Other different rashes.
Conclusions.The signs of parasitic infection are incredibly different and have similar symptoms with a huge number of pathologies.The symptoms are due to the individual reaction of the body of a particular patient, to a variety of individuals, the characteristics of the invasion, the phases of the infection, etc.Etc.
The signs include symptoms of damage to the internal organs and manifest themselves in a wide range - from serious attacks of heart and asthma to chronic micranium and inflammatory processes of the urinary tract and the gastrointestinal tract.
