Parasites are considered organisms that live on or in the human body and compete with human host cells for nutrients.Parasite types vary in size, from microscopic amoebas to large intestinal worms.
Ectoparasites are found on the external surfaces of the human body, while endoparasites live in the internal tissues and organs of the human body.
An organism that obtains nutrition by feeding on or within another animal is known as a parasite.The types of human parasites are divided into intestinal and blood parasites.
All types of parasites can be transmitted in the following different ways:
- from animals to people;
- from person to person;
- from people to animals.
These organisms can live and reproduce in the organs and tissues of infected human and animal hosts.They are often excreted in feces.
Some parasites can be present in food or water and have become important causes of water- and food-borne illnesses.Therefore, today parasites are often identified as causes of foodborne illnesses, ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating illness and possibly death (in the most severe cases).
Parasites are known to be transmitted from one host to another by ingesting contaminated food and water and/or by putting anything in the mouth that has touched the feces of an infected person or animal.
All types of parasites vary in size, from small single-celled 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 reinfecting the person.Protozoa have a single cell and can reproduce inside 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 therefore pass directly from one host to another.This process can involve complex life cycles.This type of parasite includes Trichomonas and Trichinella.
- Temporary parasites that spend only part of their life as a parasite and the other part as free-living organisms.
- Free parasites, which are usually free-living organisms capable of accidentally infecting a host.
Symptoms of the presence of parasites.
It must be recognized that there are several different symptoms that people affected by parasites experience.They include:
- gas formation and bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome;
- sleep problems;
- skin diseases;
- allergies;
- pain in joints and muscles;
- nervousness, granulomas, chronic fatigue;
- anemia;
- teeth grinding;
- immune system problems.
According to recent North American and European studies, different types of parasites have been found in the bodies of all these people who suffer from various chronic diseases.
A course of use of a colloidal drug can provide effective assistance in the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections.Its action applies to many types of parasites, from the simplest to helminths, and the drug also helps to eliminate unpleasant symptoms caused by parasites.The recommended treatment and prophylactic course is 1 month.
