Proven recipes and tips on how to treat parasites with folk remedies are presented in our article.
Harmful effects and routes of infection
Helminths are represented by more than 250 different species, some of which do not go through the entire cycle of maturation in the human body, but even with their own presence they cause significant damage to the body. For their nutrition, parasites use all the organic matter and minerals that come to us with food.
In addition, an excess of parasites in the body can cause blockage of important ducts and lead to life -threatening conditions. Residual helminths can cause allergic reactions and lead to body intoxication. Mechanical damage to internal organs is not excluded, because larvae and adults "wander" in our bodies, literally eating their way.
This default condition may not be normal, so you should do your best to avoid infection. To do this, it is important to determine the main routes of entry of larvae and eggs of helminths into the human body.
How can you get helminths:
- The easiest and most common way is through dirty hands. During the day, when we touch hundreds of different objects on the street, in the store or in transport. If hygiene is not observed, infection is inevitable.
- Inadequate meat and fish processing can also lead to infection with various types of helminths. All products must undergo adequate heat treatment. Also, when preparing meals, it is important to adhere to all rules and technologies and it is better to avoid dubious catering establishments altogether.
- Vegetables and fruits can also contain parasite larvae. Many types of helminths mature well in the soil and enter the human body through direct contact or through related products.
- Wild animals and pets often carry parasites. Some of them are familiar to people, with others we are just middle -level masters.
- Contaminated water is also a common cause of infection. Water from any source must be boiled, but not used raw. In addition, bathing can cause parasitic infections, especially in enclosed bodies of water (ponds, lakes).
Often infections occur for reasons beyond our control. This includes visiting public places, eating food of questionable quality in food stores, as well as contact with infected people or animals.
It is very difficult to protect children from infection, because children are very active in exploring the world around them, visiting children's groups and playgrounds, the level of hygiene is uncontrollable.
In addition, children are more likely to break the rules of hygiene, so the most attentive and loving parents often face the consequences of aggression. It’s not always recommended to use pharmaceuticals, so it’s definitely worth looking at traditional pest control methods. They are less toxic and safe for the body, so they are often used to prevent the disease.
Symptoms of parasitic infestation
Most people are unaware of such a "neighborhood" that helminths make themselves felt. The main symptoms appear precisely in the acute stage, especially when infected with a flat type of parasite. In addition, symptoms are exacerbated by a large number of worms in the body, when their vital activities pose a real threat to humans.
The following symptoms should warn you:
- Change your eating habits. Parasites do not respond well to spicy and sour dishes, but sweet foods are a delicacy for them. A person may have a strong craving for flour products and cakes, but the weight does not change or, conversely, disappear.
- Abdominal discomfort. Parts of the abdomen, chest, and even areas under different shoulder blades can be painful. Pain is also characterized in different ways. In addition, there are symptoms of dysbacteriosis and indigestion. Most patients complain of nausea and watery stools, sometimes constipation and almost always heartburn, belching and bloating.
- Deterioration of general condition. The presence of even a small number of parasites in the body always causes some physical and psychological problems. A person becomes tired faster, does not feel refreshed even after a good rest. In addition, there may be signs of behavioral disorders, sleep disorders, as well as poor appetite, nervousness.
- The presence of helminths can also be determined by the condition of the skin and hair. Nutrients that are essential for the formation of our organs are not supplied in sufficient quantities, so the hair will become dull and lifeless, the nails will always break, and the skin will become problematic. In this way, the frequent appearance of a rash can also indicate the presence of parasites in the body.
- Weak immunity. The vital activity of parasites causes serious stress to our body, first of all, the immune system suffers. Frequent colds and a long recovery period may be indicators of a parasitic attack.
- Many types of helminths lay eggs around the anus. That is why itching may appear in this area, especially at night.
It is possible to identify the presence of helminths by laboratory tests. Often, stool samples are examined, although this is one of the least informative tests. Scraping for enterobiasis will give more accurate results, but it only indicates the presence of certain types of parasites.
Now more and more often the blood is checked for the presence of special reagents - antibodies, the production of which in our body is provoked by unwanted guests. Such an analysis can be performed for both adults and children, the disadvantages of which are the high cost and the need to go to private clinics. Having determined the exact type of "enemy", it is easier to choose a method of treating parasites with folk remedies.
