As a rule, a person does not think about their health and the number of parasites in their body until they feel bad. The patient does not know which specialist to turn to in order to know the exact number of parasites present and which organ they affect. A person is not able to diagnose himself, but he can easily determine the very 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 feed on all the useful elements of the organism and produce substances which give rise to the vital activity of the organism.
- Endoparasites. A type of parasite that lives inside 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 blood and human tissue. Ectoparasites include lice, bedbugs, ticks, mosquitoes, and other insects.
It is much easier to recognize the defeat of the body by ectoparasites. Their presence has external signs that it is simply impossible not to notice:
- rashes and itching are observed;
- redness of certain areas of the skin;
- Visible insect bites
- pain and burning sensation.
A more precise study can be carried out using a microscope or special analyzes.
Unlike ectoparasites, endoparasites do not inhabit outside the human body. In this regard, it is quite difficult to notice them. These parasites can literally feed on a person for years so that the patient does not even guess their existence.
The presence of parasites in the body - signs of their appearance
All the parasites that can inhabit the human body are extremely stubborn and dangerous. They multiply almost instantly, which poses a special danger to human health. It is possible to identify the existence of parasites when several signs appear:
- rash and itching;
- the appearance of red rashes that cause severe itching;
- the presence of edema in places with developed subcutaneous tissue;
- a sharp increase in body temperature.
The manifestation of an allergic reaction directly depends on the location and development of the parasite in the human body. As a rule, the appearance of parasites can also be determined by the following external signs:
- Obvious disorders in the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Skin damage to varying degrees.
- Discoloration of the skin.

What diseases can be caused by the existence of parasites
The long-term existence of parasites in the human body takes its toll on its work. In addition, the vital activity of a large number of parasites can activate a number of unpleasant diseases:
- several types of anemia;
- central nervous system disorders;
- abscesses in various parts of the human body;
- the appearance of oncological diseases, as well as cysts;

In fact, parasites cause irreparable damage to human health. They can literally live anywhere. They are so different that their development can cause various damage to the organism. In order to avoid the risk of parasites and their further development, it is recommended to conduct research and prevention of parasitism once a year.
