The world is designed in such a way that parasites can penetrate the human body and feed on its reserves of nutrients.Many people who carefully monitor their health, lead an active life, try to eat a balanced diet, cannot get the desired result;the cause may be helminths, which remove all useful substances from the host, leaving a small part.
This lifestyle of these pests is very convenient for them;moreover, their presence can go unnoticed for a long time.This is because the symptoms of worm infestation are very similar to the symptoms of other diseases;an infected person can be treated for a long time for other diseases and not observe positive dynamics.
Symptoms
Strangely enough, parasites do not have a digestive system, however, they feed exclusively on useful substances that are present in the host's body.Thanks to useful substances, their life expectancy increases significantly, but the person's condition worsens significantly.
Symptoms of infection may be absent or may resemble symptoms of other diseases.For example:
- the larva of the needle worm located in the lungs has symptoms similar to pneumonia;
- worm larvae cause appendicitis symptoms;
- Opisthorchis larvae can resemble an attack of pancreatitis.
Often the infection is accompanied by a cold: sore throat, sinus, bronchitis or other similar diseases.Doubts can begin with the following changes:
- A sharp change in the functioning of the digestive system (the appearance of diarrhea, bloating, constipation);
- Pain appears in the joints and muscles;
- An allergic reaction has appeared on the skin;
- Anemia develops (most worms feed on blood, which leads to iron deficiency);
- Sudden weight gain or loss;
- Change in mental state:depression, panic attacks, high nervousness, sleep disturbance (helminths, while in the human body, release toxins dangerous to the human body).
- Grinding of teeth at night;
- Reduced immunity, frequent viral and infectious diseases;
- Inflammation of the respiratory system;
- Oncology (the long-term presence of worms contributes to the degeneration of cells into cancer).
It should be understood that the presented symptoms do not indicate the presence of parasites, but only an assumption of their presence.Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis after a complete diagnosis.The full range of possible symptoms is not presented;in addition to the above, there are also disturbances in the functioning of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system.Violations develop into more serious problems that require specialist intervention.
