Red invasion is the most common disease among possible parasitic infestations. The treatment of such conditions is most often dealt with by a hepatologist, gastroenterologist and immunologist. Worms can be located in the intestines, muscle tissue, lungs, liver and even in the eyeball (under the sclera). In any case, the parasites will cause different symptoms. How to remove worms from a person with folk remedies, you can learn from this article.
Varieties of worms in humans
Modern medicine has about two hundred species of worms. About sixty species have been registered in Bulgaria. But this does not mean that others cannot be found in the tissues of the organs of our compatriots. The type of parasitic infestation directly affects how to remove worms from a person using folk remedies.
According to the method of migration from the owners, the parasites are divided into the following groups:
- contact - if the infection has occurred from person to person;
- geohelminthiasis - if the infection has occurred when soil particles have entered the body or food;
- biohelminthiasis - if the infection is caused by meat.
Here is a list of the types of worms that live most often in the tissues of the organs of adults and children:
- Ascaris - this name of parasites is known to everyone from childhood. Perhaps the most common form of helminth infestation. Roundworms are quite large roundworms. Body shade - red-yellow, in adulthood they reach lengths up to 40 cm.
- Vlasoglav is a relatively rare worm. Round worm about 50 mm long. It got this name because of the shape of the body - thin and narrow, reminiscent of hair. It most often lives in the liver tissue.
- Tapeworm is quite common in helminthic parasites. This is a relatively large tapeworm. It can reach a length of seven to eight meters. There are individuals with a length of more than fifteen meters.
- Hookworm is a complex helminthic invasion, diagnosed relatively rarely. It is most often displaced in the duodenum, it is very difficult to respond to therapy.
- Trichinella are members of the worm class. When these parasites enter the body, trichinosis is diagnosed. They are quite small and reach a maximum of two centimeters in adulthood. the therapy is quite long and complicated.
- The liver is a flatworm of the helminth class. Reaches a length of 7-20 mm. Opisthorchiasis - this is the name of a condition inherent in the carrier of hepatic methyl.
Depending on which worms are found in a person (symptoms and folk remedies effective for treatment will vary from case to case), the rate of their elimination from the body and the improvement of the patient's well-being will depend. Don't expect to get rid of worms quickly with home therapy. Most often, the process takes several months until the patient finds a method that is ideal for each case.
Methods of infection
Even if you follow all the usual rules of hygiene: washing your hands, eating only clean cutlery, the absence of animals at home - there is still a chance that the worm's eggs will find a way to get on the mucous membrane or in the esophagus. The rest is a matter of technology: they will be transferred from the bloodstream to all parts of the body and will be able to take root where conditions are most favorable.
The most common ways to get infected with worms:
- swimming in polluted water (especially in fresh water);
- pet games;
- dirty cutlery;
- eating dirty fruits, vegetables, berries;
- insufficiently well-cooked poultry and animal meat used for food;
- non-observance of personal hygiene when visiting the bathroom.
Symptoms of helminthic invasion
Depending on the degree of the painful condition, the methods of treating worms in people with folk remedies will vary. The symptoms that are noted by infected people are most common:
- Dysfunction of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. Most often it is diarrhea, constipation, flatulence. Such symptoms occur when infected with roundworms, and trichinosis is also accompanied by indigestion;
- Nervous system disorders - manifested in increased fatigue, malaise, chronic fatigue, poor physical endurance, decreased muscle mass, weight loss and anorexia;
- Iron deficiency or cobalamin anemia - after all, worms take all the nutrients for themselves, leaving nothing for humans. This condition manifests itself in deterioration of cognitive processes, constant weakness, decreased performance, deterioration of the skin, hair loss;
- Itching in the anus usually occurs at night - not all patients notice this symptom. The female lays eggs, crawling as close as possible to the rectal sphincter - hence the discomfort;
- Constant low body temperature of about thirty-seven degrees (doctors call it subfebrile), which cannot be relieved by pharmaceutical drugs;
- Lack of appetite, weight loss to critical values, anorexia is a sure sign of helminthic invasion;
- Teething in sleep, waking up in the middle of the night, disturbed phases of sleep and insomnia are common companions of a patient with helminth infestation.
The initial signs of invasion directly depend on the type of pathogen. The location of the worm in the human body also plays an important role. For example, large worms, flukes and tapeworms parasitize the liver. Such an invasion inevitably leads to degeneration of liver cells. Bile duct obstruction is also likely; in advanced cases, cirrhosis may develop. Roundworms and pinworms live in the gut. That's why they go out with the feces. There are many effective folk remedies for treating worms in humans. Simple recipes will help you get rid of the infection in several applications.
Diagnostic methods
Worms most often live in the intestines, although other places are not excluded: liver, lungs, eyeball, muscle tissue. Modern medicine offers several ways to find out if the pathology is present in a particular patient.
The simplest diagnostic method: scraping the eggs with a worm. You must arrive at the appointed time and the nurse will touch the rectal sphincter with a laboratory stick. this scrap will then be tested in the laboratory for the presence of worm eggs.
The second most common diagnostic method is the donation of stool for laboratory analysis. This study will help detect not only helminth infestation but also the presence of other parasites.
The blood test to determine parasitic infestation is more difficult: to perform it, you need special laboratory equipment. But this will help determine the presence of parasites not only in the intestines but also in the tissues of other organs.
How to carve worms in people with folk remedies
The pharmacological preparations offered by modern medicine for the treatment of helminthic invasion are very toxic. Therefore, more and more patients are switching to traditional medicine. The purpose of the tablets is to kill parasites with toxic effects that cannot affect the health of the patient himself. The instructions for use for most pharmacological antiparasitic drugs indicate that during the treatment period the body receives toxic shock. The use of folk remedies for the treatment of worms in humans does not have such a side effect. In some cases, it is possible to completely get rid of the symptoms of a parasitic infestation in a few weeks, sometimes it will take about a month.
