Parasites are considered organisms that live on or in the human body and compete with the cells of the human host for nutrients.Parasites vary in size from microscopic amoebas to large intestinal worms.
Ectoparasites are found on the outer surface of the human body, while endoparasites live in the internal tissues and organs of the human body.
Parasites are known as organisms that obtain nutrition by feeding on or inside other animals.Types of human parasites are divided into intestinal and blood parasites.
All types of parasites can be transmitted in different ways:
- from animals to humans;
- from person to person;
- from people to animals.
These organisms can live and reproduce in the organs and tissues of infected humans and animal hosts.They are often excreted in the stool.
Some parasites can be present in food or water and are the main cause of water and foodborne diseases.Therefore, parasites are now often identified as the cause of foodborne illness, from mild discomfort to debilitating illness and possibly death (in the worst cases).
These parasites are known to be transmitted from host to host through ingestion of contaminated water and food and/or by putting into the mouth anything that has touched the feces of an infected person or animal.
All types of parasites range in size from small, tiny organisms (called protozoa) to larger, multicellular worms (called helminths) that can be seen with the naked eye.
According to modern medical practice, helminths cannot reproduce in the human body and eventually disappear without infecting the person again.Protozoa have only one cell and can reproduce in the human body.
Parasites can also be divided into the following types of parasites:
- Obligate parasites that can only survive in the host's body and that is why they pass directly from one host to another.Said process may involve a complex life cycle.These types of parasites include Trichomonas and Trichinella.
- Transient parasites that only spend part of their lives as parasites and the other part as free-living organisms.
- Free parasites, which are usually free-living organisms capable of unintentionally infecting a host.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites
It should be recognized that there are several different symptoms experienced by people affected by parasites.They include:
- gas formation and bloating, constipation, diarrhea, colon syndrome;
- sleep problems;
- skin diseases;
- allergies;
- joint and muscle pain;
- restlessness, granuloma, chronic fatigue;
- anemia;
- teeth grinding;
- Immune system problems.
According to recent North American and European studies, various types of parasites have been found in the bodies of all people suffering from various chronic conditions.
A course of using colloidal medicine can provide effective help in the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections.Its action covers a wide range of parasites, from protozoa to helminths, and the drug also helps eliminate unpleasant symptoms caused by parasites.The recommended treatment and prophylaxis course is 1 month.
