15 facts about the parasites that everyone should know a grown man!

Parasites simultaneously frighten and fascinate people. There is nothing more disgusting the thought of a worm living in your stomach, but be willing to voluntarily swallowed the parasite to lose weight or "cleanse toxins". The website publishes an article by Dr. Lobanova, which dispels the myths and tells the most important facts about parasites.

Good afternoon. In advance I want to warn you — the best recommendations gives the doctor after personal examination and conducting several special studies.

The effect of alcohol on parasites? Alcohol for parasites is not valid. Exactly. If you throw a worm into a glass of alcohol, he certainly will die. The next morning. From a hangover. If you do not find the same experimenter as you with a glass of beer.

My colleague cites the case, when five hunters shot the boar, immediately began to chop it up and fry kebabs. Washed down with a kebab countless amount of vodka. Healthy men argue that everyone drank at least a litre.

All five were in intensive care with a severe form of trichinosis. The two had no hope of rescue, but apparently God loves fools.

After discharge they were arguing with the doctor-parasitologist, that they experienced, Trichinella the naked eye can see! The vodka kills.

Anything people do not learn.

Folk remedies for parasites (pumpkin seeds, garlic, pepper, tansy, tarragon, onion tea)? No, and no again. All of these herbs parasites certainly do not like. They will try to avoid the unpleasant environment and the rush to spread in different directions. A couple may choose a way out, the proud, the patient will write me in the comments: "you see, Lobanov, and I tryndel!" And a picture with the phone will make.

But most of the parasites rush in the other direction. They buried in different regions of the small and large intestine, Appendix, liver and gallbladder. Someone tries dig deeper into the intestinal mucosa, causing bleeding.

Welcome folk remedies as a result, significantly complicate diagnosis and treatment of parasitic diseases, as worms will be in unusual places for them.

The main drug for the parasites? Prevention medications have different Opinions.

There are two approaches to prevention:

1) once a year or half a year de-worming drugs (Vermoxum, Dekaris, Nematol, hundreds of them). The safest is albendazole, which is supposedly the West is even prescribed to pregnant women. This helps in the prevention of ascariasis, enterobiasis, zanah, that is, in 80% of cases infected with parasites.

2) Opponents of this method refer to the toxic effects of drugs on the human body and is recommended every six months to pass the triple tests in a laboratory (with intervals of three to four days) — to pass feces, smear, the scraping on enterobiasis, and not poisoned with chemicals, because every drug even in single dose has an effect on the liver.

Take your pick.

Preventionof Trichinosis — meat inspection in veterinary laboratories. Trihinelleze meat is destroyed in any case. Known cases, when the hunters, sparing meat, long-boiled pieces and fed to dogs. The dogs then had to finish, so as not suffered.

Opisthorchiasis — not to eat raw, dried, salted fish, homemade. Long freezing to 40 degrees for 7 hours — kills opisthorchis. Thus in industry destroy parasites. In fish they remain, but the harm did not bring. Only spoil the aesthetic appearance.

Ascariasis, cysticercosis, enterobiasis and most other parasites — wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet, observe the rules of personal hygiene. Products, especially in the summer, hide from insects.

In enterobioze in kindergarten it is recommended that it is better to hold the baby home.

Analyses in parasitic diseases?

• Analysis of blood leukocyte formula — an increased number of eosinophils diagnostic symptom most parasitic diseases;
• Serological analysis of immunoglobulins;
• Three-times (during three-four days) feces analysis on helminth eggs and segments;
• The scrapings with the anus for pinworms (pinworm in the feces analysis is not informative);
• Ultrasound of the liver;
• MRI of the brain.

Immunity and parasite Immunity, we will definitely save. It neutralizes the lion's share went to our body of parasite eggs. But sometimes the immune system gives up and then the parasites are happy to take our body. The immune system is struggling at the stage of eggs. Adults to overcome it.

• Calcification (the calcification) is a protective device of the body. The environment of the parasite (Echinococcus or cysticerci) connective tissue, impregnation of the shell by calcium salts and the creation of the mausoleum.
• Allergies — the immune system tries to fight with adults. But for millions of years the parasites have developed a lot of protective mechanisms. They often knock the immune system off, and then start allergic reactions (in fact — hyperimmunity).

Processing of meat for trichinosis Digestion of meat with a thickness of 1 cm for 2-3 hours, theoretically killing of Trichinella. But again, trihinelleze meat is thrown away. And it is better to burn that the homeless are not picked up.

Freezing when trichinosis is practically not working. I have a friend in the veterinary lab, so he had six months of torturing a piece of pork with Trichinella. Freeze, then defrost, slice a piece and places it in a favorable environment. So these bastards for six months come alive.

Where do you take meat? In veterinary laboratory.

The main symptoms in parasitic diseases? A lot of parasites. Different species occupy different niches in our body. Therefore, the common symptoms for all no.

For intestinal is often fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes on the skin type urticaria, heaviness and pain in the abdomen, fatigue

For trichinosis — a disease, like digestive, then pain in joints and muscles, swelling of the face. The last trait I would like to emphasize that, as the hunting season is in full swing, and many hunters bring home the meat of wild boars.

Opisthorchiasis is in principle the same as in intestinal may increase the jaundice. The parasite is effectively disguised as cholecystitis and hepatitis.

Cysticercosis — depending on hit:
Brain — headaches, convulsions, seizures pseudoepinephrine
Eyes — blurred vision
Heart failure heart rhythm
Dirofilaria — feeling under the skin someone the creeps.

Almost any parasitic invasion of the blood cells will be increased eosinophils.

Can antibiotics affect parasites? Antibiotics are another group of drugs that are designed to impact on the microorganisms.

Here it is necessary to distinguish parasites — flat and round worms, and parasites — protozoa. On the simplest antibiotics work (for example, on the same templaza), and worms designed for de-worming drugs

What to be afraid of when traveling to exotic destinations With tourist trips to Africa and South-East Asia should follow a few simple rules:

• Never eat any food outside of major restaurants and cafes (if Thai will offer you a Scorpion on a skewer near the hotel chase his kicks);
• Not to swim in untested freshwater (only the pools and the sea), in fast flowing mountain rivers, but in lakes, puddles, ponds and swamps, especially in the rice fields — better not;
• Do not walk barefoot on the green grass. And generally do not walk barefoot. Only on the sand on the beach;
• Wash your hands. Constantly. Several times a day. Before eating and after using the toilet;
• Don't drink untested water;
• A few weeks after arrival, it is better to go to the lab and get tested;
• Relax at Home (just kidding).

Animal lovers, Remember, your sweet cat or the Terrier, even if sitting at home, are sources of parasitic diseases. You came from the street — bring on the clothing and shoes thousands of eggs of helminths, fungus, bacteria... Your cute little dog ran towards you, licking his shoes, pants. Ready, he is already infected. And then climbs to lick your nose.

If your cat or dog walk on the street — there's no talk at all.

Every six months spend prevention veterinary drugs. Can and human, but there is a risk not to calculate the dose, because your pet does not weigh fifty pounds.

Slimming parasites on the Internet you can often read the is parasites that contribute to weight loss. Like, immediate effect without any harm.

Imagine, you infect a creature that is little that eats half your food, and shit in your body. And yet she clings to the walls of your intestine by hooks or suckers. And it can bring in the liver and the lymphatic system.

It is necessary to you? You will surely lose weight. But the damage to your body will be incommensurable. Provoked allergic reactions, intoxication by the waste products of the parasite, mechanical damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Here is a partial list of issues that you can purchase.

Giardiasis slippery Topic. Frankly, I do not want to raise.

Until recently, Giardia was considered normal human microflora and almost no symbionts. Only in recent years decided to put their after all to the enemy. The main problem with Giardia is that they are everywhere. If the analysis showed the lack of them — then it's a bad analysis.

CIS proudly say that our tap water Giardia no! But laboratories in Germany find Giardia in bottled water and mineral water of the famous sources. Whether the Germans are slobs, whether we can do better than that.

Giardia — in contrast to the above worms are the simplest organism. So, very small. Giardia cysts pass through the filters of urban water supply systems, they are constantly found in wells and columns, lakes and ponds.

Giardia exists in two forms. Mobile and cyst. A person infected just cysts. Guilty of dirty hands, household items. The infection occurs even if you have washed the fruits are not too clean water or when bathing swallowed lake water. The same sources can be brothers our smaller dogs, cats, rodents. In water Giardia cysts fall in the stool, or patient support and survive in the water for five to six weeks.

Giardia effect on liver and small intestine. Infected pale skin, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, rash. In some regions of the CIS, a significant percentage of children and adults infected with Giardia and are chronic carriers. By the way in Europe and the U.S. in some regions, not less, so let's not show off.

Therefore, if your child is not there, often diarrhea, complains of pain in the abdomen, and the therapist invariably puts it the diagnosis "gastritis", do not take the money and get tested for Giardia. Maybe it's these tiny parasites.

Treatment of complex, multi-stage, with the use of several drugs (metronidazole one of them), under the constant supervision of a physician. The house itself giardiasis is not cured.

Can the parasite live long in the human body and does not manifest itself? Can.

Our body — a place of compact residence of millions of petition and uninvited guests from the world of viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and animals.

They include:

• Symbionts (gut bacteria that help us digest our food) — I must say that even symbionts, not moved in the body can damage. For example, intestinal bacteria, once in the blood stream will cause sepsis.
• Neutral — from a parasite, who quietly eat up the pasta in your gut, to bystanders, which is known as brought and they stayed (most of the inhabitants of the skin and oral mucosa).
• Directly parasites. These not only that, live, so also crap.

We must distinguish between chronic and carrier.

The chronic form is a surrender of immunity. That is, the body enables the parasite to survive and to do its dirty work in the open. In this case, the person is constantly experiencing clinical manifestations of the disease (abdominal pain, bowel problems, vomiting, fever, etc.).

Carriage — a kind of nonaggression Pact. That is, the parasite lives, but clinically does not manifest itself. Harm to the body he slightly gets in and makes its owner is dangerous to others.

Carriers in most of the cases observed in the parasitism of protozoa (Giardia are the same). Flat and round worms still too large organisms that the body is resigned to their existence.
