More than half of the world's population suffers from parasites. This is due to the fact that in some situations the infection is asymptomatic, but this does not alleviate the carrier of pathogenic complications that occur in the human body. In most cases, you can get rid of parasites with folk remedies at home, so you need to know the types, signs and characteristics of treatment of each pathogen.
Causes
Parasites in the body of the host appear in contact with the external environment. All pathways of disease penetration are divided into 4 main types:
- Food contamination (with dirty water or food, unwashed hands).
- Penetration of contacts and households (through pets and other infected people).
- Transmissible injection (due to insect bites).
- Excision or active infection (penetration of the parasite larva through the skin and mucous membranes in contact with dirty soil or water).
Such a disease can also be contracted through unprotected sexual intercourse, thus Trichomonas enters the human body.
Types of parasites
All bacteria that live by attaching to the human body can be divided into three major groups:
- Protozoa. This group has many varieties, the most common of which can be found with infection with giardiasis, smallpox and toxoplasma. They can appear in different parts of the body.
- Worms (helminths). These include pinworms, roundworms, swine and bovine tapeworms, echinococci and other species. Such parasites develop in the patient's intestines.
- Ectoparasites such as ticks or lice, fleas. Parasitizes on human skin (hairy or open epidermis).
Ectoparasites are the safest, unlike other species. Protozoa and worms can develop in the body of an infected person for months, impairing the functioning of internal organs, but without giving any special signs of their appearance. The symptoms of worms are often attributed to general malaise or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas. To prevent the development of the disease, it is necessary to know the symptoms and signs of the appearance of parasitic "guests" in the body.
Symptoms and signs
The symptoms of different types of pathogens in the body can vary. On average, the following clinical picture can be distinguished:
- frontal headache and irritability;
- weakness, fatigue;
- loss of appetite and nausea, as a result - weight loss;
- bowel dysfunction, pain;
- each rash;
- increase in body temperature;
- anemia (blanching of the skin and mucous membranes of the body).
Microorganisms live from their host, so the human body works to wear itself out. With the development of the pathology, the symptoms worsen, so treatment should begin at the first signs.

Prevention
Intervention in your body can be avoided. Prevention of parasites in the human body consists of the following rules:
- thorough hand hygiene;
- wash fresh vegetables and fruits before eating;
- the use of mainly boiled and filtered water, not raw;
- subject the dishes to a complete heat treatment;
- monitor the presence of parasites in a pet (visit a veterinarian);

Infection with parasites requires treatment not only for the carrier in which they are identified, but also for all members of his family and even pets. This will reduce the risk of recurrence of the disease.
