How to Identify Human Parasites

Human parasites live inside us, feeding themselves on our nutrients and food supply, leaving our bodies at risk. Human parasites can destroy our tissues and cells and produce toxic waste within us, making us extremely ill.

Human parasites have become an epidemic in some underdeveloped countries, and in the United States alone, it is said that roughly 50 percent of the population is living with a parasite within them.

Infection can occur nearly everywhere. It is not necessary due to an unsanitary condition that causes an infection, as one can become infected with parasites from a mere insect bite.

Some parasites may cause noticeable symptoms, such as diarrhea, while other parasites cause no symptoms at all. Parasite infections can go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, as some parasites are able to move through the blood to any organ, causing problems that are not often recognized as parasite related.

Knowing how to identify human parasites will help aid you your wellness.Identifying Human Parasites

Step 1

Of the parasites, most cannot be identified without the use of a microscope or stool analysis. However, pinworms, can be seen by the human eye. Pinsworms will come out of the anal opening to lay eggs at night. Identifying pinworms can be done by observing the anal or vagina with a flash light, at night, when they come out to lay eggs. You can also check the sheets to see if pinworms are present.

Step 2

To diagnose infection with a mircroscope, dissolve a small amount of a fecal sample in a veterinary-grade sodium-nitrate solution. Use approximately a thimble full of the solution and a very small piece of the stool sample, no more than the size of a fingernail.

After the contaminants in the fecal have risen, forming a film atop the liquid, use a cover slip to grab a sample of the film, and place the clean cover slide over the sample side.

Using both, 10x and 100x magnification settings, search the slide.

Step 3

Identifying the symptoms of parasites will aid in recognizing infestation of parasites in the body.

Parasite symptoms include:

• Gas, bloating, cramps
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Persistent skin problems
• Arability and/or nervousness
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Fatigue
• Anemia

If parasites are suspected, your physician will order a stool analysis. The stool analysis is used to detect parasites. Things You'll Need

• A microscope
• Veterinary-grade sodium nitrate solution (or saturated sugar water)
• Fecal sample
• Slide
• Cover slip

Tips

• To avoid parasite infection:
• Wash all fruits and vegetables in a mixture of water and hydrogen perioxide before eating. Mix one teaspoon for each gallon of water.. Also, cut out any nicks or cracks that may be harvesting parasites.
• Wash hands before each meal and after going to the bathroom.
• Wear shoes in warm soils.
• When traveling to undeveloped countries, use bottled water for brushing your teeth and drinking.
