Symptoms of a parasitic invasion
Sometimes one can hear from people and such an opinion - why remove parasites when they are increasingly used in weight loss programs. However, such programs have no scientific basis and are mostly common quacks.
In nature there is no organism that would benefit from the parasitic activity of the worms it contains. Sooner or later this activity leads to the destruction of the internal organs and the death of the organism itself, which feeds the parasite. Therefore, our natural aversion to parasites in the human body reflects the real state - they are harmful and dangerous to us.
How do helminthiases manifest themselves? The specific symptoms depend on the type of parasites that have settled in the body, but there are also common symptoms that are characteristic of most helminthiasis:
- Anemia- the majority of worms localized in the intestine lead to a violation of the blood composition, especially iron deficiency and other types of anemia.
- Stagnation in the bile ducts(cholestasis), obstruction is often the result of worsening peristalsis and blockage of the bile ducts due to parasitic invasion.
- CFS- a condition known as chronic fatigue syndrome, which is accompanied by emotional instability, loss of concentration, memory disorders, jumps in body temperature and constant general weakness, can also be a signal to protect the body from parasitesto free.
- Irritability, sleep disorderswith frequent nocturnal awakenings are caused by the body's attempts to rid itself of parasites and worms.
- fluctuations in body weight (e. g. to lose weight - due to the presence of an "internal consumer". This fact debunks the myth of the benefits that can supposedly be obtained from human worms.
- Skin problemscan be a result of the toxic activity of opisthorchus, fungi, lamblia and other protozoal parasites. Most often they are expressed by urticaria, neurodermatitis, eczema.
- Allergic reactionscause digestive disorders that activate the body's immune response and lead to an increase in the level of eosinophils in the blood.
- Epigastric complaints and stool disorders(diarrhea) are often clear signs of the presence of worms in the body.
- Joint and muscle paincan occur as a result of the migration of parasites in the body in search of a more favorable environment for them.
One of the characteristic signs of helminthiasis in children is intellectual disability and an inhibition of speech.
If you experience any of these signs in yourself or loved ones, you need to see a doctor and get tested.
