Parasite infection

Parasitic infections: high risk of contagion

According to statistics, each of us has a 9 out of 10 chance of contracting a parasitic infection. Even in the most developed countries of Europe, one in three people suffers from helminthiasis, which is a disease caused by parasitic worms (helminths).

No one is immune to parasitic infection: adults and children, men and women, rich and poor. Epidemiologists know that most of the world’s population carries one or more types of parasites, ranging from tapeworms up to 10 meters long to microorganisms visible only under a microscope.

Scientific evidence

Recent medical studies have shown that 95% of adults host one to five different types of parasites in their bodies.

Contrary to popular belief that parasites only live in the large intestine, they can actually be found anywhere in our bodies: in our lungs, muscles, joints, esophagus, blood, eyes, and even our brain.

Infection occurs in several ways: through the air, food, water, insect bites or contact with pets.

Here are some examples of transmission:

• Pinworm eggs can survive up to 6 months and spread through toys, underwear, bed sheets and hands, reaching the mouth.
• Ascaris eggs enter our body through poorly washed fruits and vegetables, such as strawberries, parsley, dill, apples, grapes and plums.
• Parasite eggs can be carried on money and contact surfaces in public transport.
• Eating grilled meat or homemade bacon increases the risk of contracting trichinosis by 95%.
• Salted fish and caviar may contain tapeworms, a flatworm that can grow up to 12 metres in length and survive up to 25 years in the body.

Prevention and immunity

The only way to protect ourselves from parasites is to rely on our immune system and undergo regular anti-parasite prevention, at least once a year.

With age, fighting parasitic infections becomes increasingly difficult, since at 55 the immune system is no longer as strong as at 25. If the immune system is weak, parasites multiply much faster, further weakening the body.

Parasite Detection Methods

Detecting a parasitic infection is more difficult than preventing it. There are currently several methods of diagnosis:

Chemical-physical examination of stool

This method has limited effectiveness, with an accuracy rate between 12% and 20%.

Serological test

A blood test is used to look for specific antibodies against the parasites. However, this method is only effective in the advanced stages of infection and has an accuracy of 55-60%.

Bioresonance test

This is the most advanced and reliable method. It is based on recording electromagnetic waves emitted by parasites. Each type of parasite has a specific frequency, which can be detected by special diagnostic sensors.

Conclusion

Parasitic infections can manifest themselves in many different ways: from asymptomatic to serious and even lethal conditions, depending on the type and quantity of parasites present in the body.

The only way to protect yourself is to strengthen your immune system and undergo anti-parasite prevention at least once a year.
