INTESTINAL PARASITES
|
 Some
symptoms of the invasion of intestinal
parasites are itch in the
rectum,cramping abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, alternation of
constipation
and diarrhea, coughing, bloating, bloody stools and weight loss.
Children can grind their teeth during the night, wake up often, be
fussy
and wet their beds. If you
notice
these symptoms, you
should get laboratory tests done to find out what exactly the
cause
of it is. And if it is caused by intestinal worms, you should find
out what group of parasites they are.
But sometimes the invasion of intestinal worms has no symptoms or the
symptoms come and go.
It is very important to follow personal hygiene rules, wash fruits and
vegetables very well and even rinse them with boiling water, do not eat
undercooked fish and meat, drink only
boiled or bottled water and wash your hands through out the day,
especially after a contact with animals.

Pinworms: Intestinal
Parasites
|
|
Pinworms
are also
called seat worms, or
threadworms (species Enterobius, or Oxyuris, vermicularis). They belong
to the order Oxyurida (phylum Aschelminthes). Pinworms are common human
intestinal parasites and are also found in other vertebrates. Male
pinworms are about 2 to 5 mm (0.08 to 0.2 inches) long while the female
ones range from 8 to 13 mm. Pinworms are basically small, white worms
that live in the intestines. The name reminds us of the long tails of
the worms which gives them a pin like appearance. Pinworm infections
are quite common in young children and are easily treated.
Pinworms
usually
occur in the large intestine but
sometimes are also found in the small intestine, the stomach, or
farther up the gastrointestinal tract. After the male fertilizes the
eggs, the female travels to the anus, deposits the eggs on the skin
near the anal opening, and usually dies. Movement of the worm on the
skin causes excessive itching. Eggs, transferred beneath the
fingernails by scratching, are passed onto the mouth, from which the
eggs or larvae make their way to the intestine. This life cycle usually
requires about 15 to 43 days. Pinworms are quite easy to get. They
usually spread from one child to another, and the eggs can be picked up
by children's fingers whilst playing. Eggs can survive on a child's
skin for several hours. They can easily survive for 2 weeks on clothes,
bedding and toys. If the eggs are on the child's hands or toys, and
he/she puts their fingers or toys in the mouth, the tiny eggs enter
their bodies. The eggs continue to stay in the upper part of the
intestine until they hatch. After they hatch, the worms move down the
length of the intestine, and then finally out the anus where they lay
eggs. An itchy bottom is a common sign of pinworm infection.
Most
pinworm
infections are however, mild and
easily treated. Doctors may prescribe a single chewable tablet of a
medicine called mebendazole. About two weeks later, a second tablet is
taken. Another kind of medicine recommended by doctors is pyrantel.
This is also taken in two doses about two weeks apart. Even if only one
child in a family has pinworms, it is important that everyone in the
household be treated with the pinworm medicine at the same time, even
if they don't show any signs of pinworm infection. All the sheets,
blankets, towels and clothing in the house should be washed in hot
water, and everyone's fingernails (which might house the worm eggs)
should be thoroughly cleaned and preferably cut short.

Giardiasis-
Causes, Symptoms and
Treatment
Definition
|
Giardiasis is an intestinal illness that
affects
the digestive tract, is caused by a microscopic flagellated protozoan
parasite called Giardia lamblia( also called as Giardia duodenalis and
Giardia intestinalis) that affects the gastrointestinal tract.It is a
fairly general cause of diarrheal illness, belching, gas and cramps.
Although these symptoms are very unpleasant, the illness isn't
generally dangerous.The parasite is connected itself to the lining of
the tiny intestines in humans, where it weaken the body's absorption of
carbohydrates & fats from digested meals. Once an animal or
person has been contaminated with Giardia intestinalis , the parasite
exists in the intestine and is moved in the stool. It can able to live
outside the body and in the environment for longer times because the
parasite is protected by an outer shell.
Giardia infection has become recognized as one of the most commonly
occur waterborne disease . Infection occurs by the ingestion of cysts,
an inactive form of Giardia lamblia, in infected water, food, or by the
hands or fomites.
Causes
Giardiasis is easy to detect by drink contaminated water . Many animals
have Giardia in their feces and may move this parasite into rivers,
streams and springs in rural areas where water supplies become
contaminated with raw sewage. Giardia can be transmitted by inadvertent
putting something into your mouth that has contaminated with feces of a
person or animal infected with Giardia ,swallowing amateur water in
swimming pools, hot tubs, jacuzzis, fountains, lakes, rivers, springs,
ponds, or streams that can be infected with sewage or feces from humans
or animals,using uncooked food contaminated with Giardia .
Giardia infection is occur due to the parasite called Giardia lamblia.
It appears in two types.
Trophozoite:It is
appears in
active form .
Cyst: It is exist in an
inactive form.
Cysts are responsible for causing the signs and symptoms of
giardiasis.It can live for longer periods outside the body and can
exist several months in cold water. Infection appears by the ingestion
of cysts in polluted water, food, or by the fecal oral way. In the body
stomach acid triggers the cyst & the cyst releases trophozoites
(single cyst produces 2 trophozoites). Trophozoites remaining in the
cavity of a tubular proximal tiny bowel where they can easily attached
to the mucosa by a ventral sucking disk .
Symptoms
The symptoms of giardiasis may appear from 3 to 25 days after
contamination but generally occurs within 10 days. Giardiasis can cause
a variety of symptoms such as abdominal cramps, excess amounts of
intestinal gas,an enlarged belly from the gas , appetite loss , upset
nausea and vomiting ,headache ,flatulence , bloated sensation
, greasy stools that tend to float .These disorder may cause weight
loss and dehydration.
People exposed to giardia may feel mild or complicated diarrhea, or in
some cases no symptoms at all. Mild fever is rarely present.
Giardiasis impacts the body's ability to absorb fats from the food, so
the diarrhea have unabsorbed fats. It means that the diarrhea floats,
is shiny, and smells very bad. Some times people will have chronic
diarrhea up to several weeks or months, with continual weight loss.
Treatments
Giardiasis is generally cured with a medicine called Flagyl an
antibiotics. It's usually taken three times a day for 5 to 10 days.
Side effects may include a nausea.It is recommended not to drink any
kind of alcohol ,if Flagyl is using. This medicine is not prescribed in
the early stages of pregnancy,because some of the drugs used to cure
the infection can be dangerous to the fetus.
Albenzazole, metronidazole or furizolidone are generally recommended as
a antibiotic to treat giardiasis.But side by side some prevention
should be taken such as carefully wash hands thoroughly after toilet
visits,carefully dispose of sewage wastes so they don't contaminate
surface water or groundwater,avoid consuming untreated water from
springs, streams or lakes.
A child with diarrhea from giardiasis may lose excess fluid in the
stool and become dehydrated. It is recommended to drinks plenty of
fluids - but no caffeinated beverages, they dehydrated the body faster.

Colon Cleansing To Get Rid of Parasites
Common colon
parasites that may find its way into the body and infest the intestines
are flukes, tapeworms, and roundworms. These parasites, if not
rightfully controlled, could bring about chronic diseases. This is very
the reason why regular colon cleansing of parasites is mandatory for
everybody.
There
are a lot of ways to cleanse your colon. There are herbal supplements
to do just the job. These herbs are effective enough so adapt it as a
method to getting rid of these unwanted organisms.
Colon cleansing
of parasites can be a long and tedious process. The parasites in your
digestive tract would not go away the moment you take in the herbal
supplements. Most of the time, removing all of them needs therapy. You
have to follow a certain treatment program in order for you to fully
cleanse your intestines.
Treatment can go
for months, depending upon the type of medicines you take. Colon
cleansing of parasites through herbal supplements may run for a maximum
of three months before you can achieve full cleansing.
The disturbing
fact behind parasites is this: a single parasite has the ability to lay
more than 10,000 eggs in one go. So if your treatment program is not
thorough, the vicious cycle will just repeat again and again. It is
imperative that you select a highly efficient colon cleansing of
parasites method that would leave not a single one of them in your body.
There are three
most commonly used herbs to get rid of such organisms. These herbs are
wormwood, common sloves, and black walnut hull. Wormwood is a known
tonic and it aids in improving the stomach's functions and normalizing
one's appetite. Black walnut hull and common sloves are two herbs
usually used to expel different types of intestinal worms. So when you
buy colon cleansing of parasites medicines, check these three herbs in
the ingredient list.
Colon cleansing
of parasites should be done immediately if abdominal pains becomes
rampant, as these are symptoms of the presence of roundworms in the
body. Aside from that, roundworms are also known to cause dry hair and
skin, acnes, rashes, and other skin problems. In the worst cases, it
may even cause death.
Regular colon
cleansing of parasites is very essential. Parasites can be difficult to
detect, more so to eliminate, especially if you do not have the right
treatment for it.
