What parasites can be in our bodies
Basically, organisms that parasitize our organs can be divided into two types: endoparasites and ectoparasites.
Endoparasites parasitize on our bodies and other tall organisms, living in them and feeding on the cells of living things. Endoparasites are all worms, lamblia, toxoplasma, echinococcus. It can be a fungus, a bacterium or a virus.
The second type of bacteria are ectoparasites. They live on the surface of bodies, that is, in our nature, in our bodies. Their food is the cells of our tissues, such as our skin, as well as our blood. Specifically, these are parasites such as bugs, lice, fleas, ticks. Mosquitoes and flies are also called ectoparasites.
How can the presence of parasites in the body be determined based on symptoms?
How to find out if there are parasites in your body, appearance and internal condition can be.
Parasites are associated with a number of symptoms. Because these symptoms are quite popular, as are symptoms of common diseases, people usually do not even suspect their presence in the body. Therefore, the symptoms are treated separately and they reappear after treatment.

- diarrhea.Diarrhea is generally thought to be a well-known reaction to malnutrition. But this is not always the case. Many bacteria produce hormones that affect stool in this way;
- gases and bloating.Very often, parasites are found in the small intestine, and this usually leads to bloating and then abundant gas. If the bloating is almost constant, this is an opportunity to reconsider the possible presence of parasites in the body;
- irritable bowel syndrome.Because parasites feed on substances from our bodies, such as fats, the intestinal walls are very often irritated. This is followed by some reduction in symptoms and absorption of nutrients. So the substances are not absorbed but immediately enter the colon, leading to digestive problems.
Invasion of almost every parasite in the blood test increases the number of eosinophils.
Joint and muscle pain
Parasites have a special ability. They can live by passing through the body, it is their job to settle in the most comfortable place in the body. One of these places is joint fluid and muscles. The symptoms are painful, usually similar to the symptoms of arthritis, but this is not always the case.
Parasites cause great damage to muscle tissue or immunity. Therefore, their presence in the body develops into muscle pain.
External manifestations of parasites
- allergies.Parasites are constantly releasing toxins. Toxins cause a lot of damage to the body because large doses of special protective cells are released. They have a detrimental effect on the body and this leads to the appearance of allergic reactions;
- problem skin.Parasites can cause not only allergies, but also various skin ulcers, acne or pimples, and other external reactions. So think about it if you have persistent skin problems. This helps determine the presence of worms;
- anemia.Many bacteria "steal" nutrients and this leads to blood loss. It follows the lack of iron;
- weight problems.It is generally accepted that worms can only reduce their weight, but this is a big misconception because parasites can increase their weight. In the case of heavy weight loss, the reason is always that worms absorb our food faster than ourselves. Weight loss symptoms are a proven method to determine if you have worms. But obesity is more complicated. It appears because of our low blood sugar. As a result, an irresistible appetite appears as it negatively affects the metabolism. Obesity can only be a defensive reaction of the body.
