As a rule, a person does not think about his health and the number of parasites in his body until he feels unwell. Patients do not know which specialist to visit to find out the exact number of parasites present and which organs they are at risk. A person cannot diagnose himself, but he can easily determine the presence of parasites in the body.
What parasites can live in the human body
There are two types of parasites that easily exist in the human body. They consume all the useful elements in the body and produce substances that give rise to important activities in the body.
- Endoparasites. A type of parasite that lives in the human body. This type of parasite includes all bacteria, fungi, lamblia and many viruses.
- Ectoparasite. They live on the outside of the human body. They consume human blood and tissues. Ectoparasites include fleas, ticks, fleas, mosquitoes and other insects.
It is much easier to recognize the defeat of the body by ectoparasites. Their presence has external signs that are impossible not to notice:
- skin rash and itching are observed;
- redness in some areas of the skin;
- Insect -like bites appear
- pain and burning sensation.
More precise studies can be performed using a microscope or special analysis.
Unlike ectoparasites, endoparasites do not inhabit the outside of the human body. In this case, it is quite difficult to observe. These parasites can literally eat a person so that the patient cannot guess about its existence.
The presence of parasites in the body - a sign of appearance
All parasites that can inhabit the human body are very powerful and dangerous. They reproduce almost instantaneously, which poses a certain danger to human health. It is possible to identify the presence of parasites when several signs appear:
- skin rash and itching;
- the appearance of a red rash that causes severe itching;
- the presence of edema in places with growing subcutaneous tissue;
- a sudden increase in body temperature.
The manifestation of allergic reactions directly depends on the location and development of the parasite in the human body. As a rule, the incidence of parasites can also be determined by the following external signs:
- Obvious disturbances in the work of the gastrointestinal tract.

What diseases can be caused by the presence of parasites
The long -term presence of parasites in the human body impairs its work. In addition, the vital activity of a large number of parasites can activate a number of unpleasant diseases:
- some types of anemia;
- disorders of the central nervous system;
- abscesses in various parts of the human body;
- the appearance of oncological diseases, as well as cysts;
- significant decreased immunity;
- difficult breathing;
- arthralgia, myalgia and many other diseases associated with pain in the joints.
In fact, parasites cause damage to human health. They can live literally anywhere. They are so different that their development can cause varying degrees of danger to the body.
