Parasites are the simplest type of bacteria that survive from the nutrients of other organisms, becoming parasites on them. They consume ready -made organic ingredients produced by others.
Currently, there are more than twenty types of parasitic life forms that can live in animal or human bodies.
All of them can enter our bodies and cause a large number of diseases and infections. Often, such bacteria are found in children, because they do not have a high level of immunity, while they have a lot of contact with animals and some dirty things.
Remember that little kid often took everything in his mouth?
This item may contain harmful parasites. This article provides a classification of parasites in the human body, how to treat infectious diseases, and things you need to do to prevent harmful bacteria from entering your body.
Parasitic bacteria in the human body, in which organs can they live?
In the human body and on its skin are the simplest bacteria, they can be unicellular and multicellular.
Parasites that live in the body are called ectoparasites. These species include rotten lice, fleas and similar scabies pathogens. Others are called endoparasites because they live in the human body. These include amoebae, worms and insect larvae.
The latter is the most dangerous, while the former is unpleasant.
Internal parasites often cause serious illness and are more difficult to get rid of than external parasites. Medicine has found many ways to get rid of it, and also has a lot of experience in treating parasites in the human body.
Each parasite has an ideal place in the human body, where they have all the conditions for a parasitic lifestyle, namely the nutrients needed for growth and reproduction. Some of them can move as they grow up.
Often, endogenous parasites can be found in the intestines, muscles, blood, lungs, heart and liver. Some species also live in nerve tissue. Ectogenic parasites live on the skin.
How can parasites get into the body?
The first way is the uptake of bacteria into the body with food and water. Sometimes it is infected or contaminated, so microorganisms start to multiply there. Insects such as flies and cockroaches also carry many harmful bacteria. Some types of food are contaminated at first - raw fish or raw meat. Often, livestock meat is infected with parasites, so one does not eat it raw.
The second is household-contacts. In this case, the parasite is transmitted from humans, through household items or animals. Often infectious bacteria are carried by street animals - dogs, cats, birds and mice.
The third is blood transfusions by mosquitoes. In the CIS countries, this is rare, most often infected mosquitoes live in hot countries. The fourth is the free entry of some insects into the human body. They gnaw the skin and penetrate muscle tissue or blood, and then go to places where they have the best living conditions.
What are the symptoms of a parasite?
Parasites in the human body can cause completely different symptoms - from insomnia, which is often invisible, to skin formation. For example, ectoparasites often cause skin lesions and scabies. Endoparasites that live in the lungs often cause coughing. When they are in the gut, you may be bothered by constipation, vomiting or diarrhea.
But the common signs of the presence of parasites in humans are as follows: insomnia, general fatigue, headaches, and sometimes allergic reactions. Often, people use folk remedies, but they are not always pleasant, for example, not everyone can drink a glass of sauerkraut juice with worms.
Consider symptoms with the presence of various types of parasites:
- The most common parasite in humans is worms or tapeworms. They cause indigestion and abdominal pain, irritability, insomnia and anxiety attacks, sometimes dizziness. Detecting them is easy enough, you can see them in feces or get a positive test result for worm eggs;
- Next came a rather dangerous parasite - tapeworms. It often causes discomfort or pain in the stomach, diarrhea, a cruel appetite (you eat a lot, but you do not increase your weight), pain in the liver and the presence of worms in the stool;
- with the presence of pinworms in a person, he may notice loss of appetite, insomnia, nervousness and itching in the anus.
Why are parasites dangerous?
They disrupt the function of organs, cause inflammatory processes in tissues and destroy them. They produce toxic substances that destroy the body.
Pests that parasitize on you can cause vitamin deficiencies, general weakness and decreased immunity in adults and children. The presence of such parasites in children is very dangerous, because they greatly slow down their development. It is often difficult to get rid of parasites in the body, as they tend to adapt to their environment and do not want to leave their usual home.

Diet to prevent parasites
Anyone who has ever encountered the presence of parasites knows how important recovery and prevention are. For this, the attending physician often prescribes a special diet. Separate meals are recommended, when you eat carbohydrates and proteins separately from each other. Because if we eat together, the stomach does not receive accurate signals about what needs to be digested and what enzymes are needed for this.
Food that is not fully digested is the best way for parasites to feed, so that they survive and thrive.
For example, meat, legumes should not be eaten with potatoes, pasta or bread. It is better to combine it with vegetables. If you want to eat carbohydrates and protein, you need to rest 2 hours between taking them.
