Types of parasites

Parasites are considered organisms that live on or inside the human body and compete with human host cells for nutrients.The types of parasites vary in size from tiny amoebas to large intestinal worms.

reasons for the entry of parasites into the body

Ectoparasites are found on the external surfaces of the human body, while endoparasites live in the internal tissues and organs of the human body.

A parasite is known as an organism that receives food by eating or inside another animal.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 humans;
  • from person to person;
  • from humans to animals.

These organisms are able to live and reproduce in the organs and tissues of infected human and animal hosts.They are often excreted in the feces.

Some parasites may be present in food or water and have become important causes of waterborne and foodborne diseases.Thus, parasites are now frequently recognized as causes of foodborne illness, ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating illness and possibly death (in the most severe cases).

Parasites are known to be transmitted from host to host through ingestion of contaminated water and food and/or mouthing anything that has touched the feces of an infected person or animal.

All types of parasites range in size from single-celled, microscopic 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 re-infecting the person.Protozoa have only one cell and can reproduce inside the human body.

Pests can also be divided into the following types of pests:

  1. 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.
  2. Temporary parasites that spend only part of their lives as parasites and the other part as free-living organisms.
  3. 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 a number of distinct symptoms experienced by people infected with parasites.They include:

  • gas formation and bloating, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome.
  • sleep problems;
  • skin diseases;
  • allergies;
  • joint and muscle pain;
  • nervousness, granulomas, chronic fatigue.
  • anemia;
  • Grinding of teeth;
  • immune system problems.

According to recent North American and European studies, different types of parasites have been found in the body of all these people suffering from various chronic diseases.

A course of using a colloidal drug can provide effective help in the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections.Its action extends to many types of parasites, from protozoa to helminths, while the drug also helps to get rid of the unpleasant symptoms caused by parasites.The recommended therapeutic and prophylactic course is 1 month.
