As a rule, a person does not think about his health and the number of parasites in his body until he feels bad. The patient does not know which specialist to consult to find out the number of parasites present and which organ is damaged. Humans cannot diagnose themselves, but they can easily detect the presence of parasites in the body.
What parasites can live in the human body
There are two types of parasites that can easily exist in the human body. They are nourished by all the beneficial elements of the body and produce substances that cause the vital activity of the body.
- Endoparasites. A kind of parasite that lives in the human body. This type of parasite includes all bacteria, fungi, lamblia and many viruses.
- Ectoparasites. They live outside the human body. They feed on human blood and tissue. Ectoparasites include lice, bedbugs, ticks, mosquitoes, and other insects.
It is easier to recognize the defeat of the body by ectoparasites. There are external signs of their existence that cannot be ignored:
- skin rash and itching are observed;
- redness in some areas of the skin;
- Insect-like bites
- pain and burning sensation.
A more accurate examination can be performed using a microscope or special analysis.
Unlike ectoparasites, endoparasites do not live outside the human body. From this point of view, it is difficult to distinguish them. These parasites can literally feed a person for years without even guessing the existence of the patient.
Presence of parasites in the body - visual symptoms
All parasites that can live in the human body are extremely strong and dangerous. They multiply almost immediately, which poses a special threat to human health. It is possible to detect the presence of parasites when several symptoms appear:
- skin rash and itching;
- appearance of red rashes that cause severe itching;
- presence of edema in areas with developed subcutaneous tissue;
- a sharp rise in body temperature.
The manifestation of an allergic reaction depends on the location and development of the parasite in the human body. As a rule, the formation of parasites can be identified by the following external signs:
- Obvious disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Different degrees of skin lesions.
- Skin discoloration.
- A sharp change in weight.
- Frequent fatigue, drowsiness, loss of energy.
- Dizziness and all kinds of headaches.

- Itching in the back and groin.
- External detection of worms in the anus.
- Signs of the presence of worms in vomiting.
What diseases can be caused by the presence of parasites
Prolonged presence of parasites in the human body impairs its function. In addition, the vital activity of many parasites can activate a number of unpleasant diseases:
- several types of anemia;
- disorders of the central nervous system;
- abscesses in various parts of the human body;
- appearance of oncological diseases and cysts;
- sharp decline in immunity;
- shortness of breath;
- Many diseases associated with arthralgia, myalgia and joint pain.
In fact, parasites cause irreparable damage to human health. As if they can live anywhere. They are so different that their development can harm the body to varying degrees. To prevent the risk of parasites and their further development, it is recommended to conduct research once a year and prevent parasitism.
