How do parasitic infections occur?
- Eat raw greens, fruits and vegetables. Large numbers of parasites are transmitted to humans through the consumption of poorly processed plant foods. This occurs due to the spread of infection from contaminated soil. To protect yourself, it's important to handle vegetables and fruits carefully and wash your hands before eating.
- drink dirty water. To reduce the risk of infection, it is important to drink only boiled water. When visiting developing countries, you should only drink bottled water. You should not swim in an unknown body of water, especially if the health department prohibits swimming in certain water sources.
- Consumption of half-raw meat and fish products. Some parasites are spread this way. To protect yourself, it is important to avoid unprocessed meat; only eat products that have a quality certificate and have been tested by health authorities. During the cooking process, the heat should be observed and the product should be stir-fried (cooked) thoroughly.
- Contact with an infected person. Some helminthiasis are spread through household contact. The most common group of people that people contract from sick people are pinworms. Diseases such as cysticercosis are also common. To protect yourself from infection, wash your hands before each meal or after visiting crowded places, and do not eat food prepared by strangers at spontaneous markets or questionable restaurants.
- Contact with feces or skin parasites from infected animals. To protect yourself, it's important to observe hygiene carefully and treat your pet's fleas systematically.

Diagnostic methods: traditional methods
- roundworms;
- Whipworm;
- tapeworm;
- tapeworm;
- fluke;
- Schistosomiasis.
Donating feces doesn't always work; some people dislike this simple procedure and find it very unpleasant. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how to detect parasites through other means.
Diagnostic methods: new options

- X-rayorEndoscopy (biopsy)Helps identify parasites in internal organs.
- polymerase chain reaction. A sample of saliva, blood, or secretions is taken to determine the parasite's DNA. Through analysis, we can determine the type of parasite.
- Linked immunosorbent assayMakes it possible to identify antigens. This technique allows you to achieve very high results. In addition to identifying parasites, analysis also helps determine the type of parasite, the number of diseased individuals, and developmental characteristics.
- bioresonance research. This technique allows you to confirm the presence of parasites in the body, but not their type, location, or quantity.
