Parasites are organisms that cannot live independently without a host. Parasites live by taking nourishment from a host which could be humans or animals. Parasite invasions are very common in humans and more common than you would think, especially in children and the elderly across all genders. The most common of these parasites are intestinal worms.

Intestinal parasites are divided into two categories, the helminths and the protozoa. The helminths are multi cellular in character while the protozoa are single celled creatures. Examples of helminths are the roundworms, tapeworms, and pinworms which cannot multiply while inside of their human host. However, the protozoa which are single celled organisms can multiply rapidly inside a human host.

Intestinal worms in humans are a problem in all countries around the world but are more common especially in less developed countries because of the way of living. Infestation of these intestinal worms in humans may be caused by poor hygiene, ingestion of tiny eggs that are very unnoticeable to the human eye or contaminated food or water.

Since they are called intestinal worms, they live in the gastro intestinal tract where they depend on the food you eat in order to live. They can enter the human body through means of consuming unclean or uncooked meat, drinking contaminated water or by direct contact on an open wound from contaminated soil.

Some parasites can also be transmitted from person to person. Once they enter the body, they can cause damage. They can produce toxic waste that may attack the body’s immune system that causes destruction to the cells faster than it can reproduce which may lead to symptoms of diseases.

The common symptoms of intestinal worms in humans are diarrhoea, constipation, allergy, anaemia, rapid weight loss, stomach pain, vomiting, dysfunctional immune system, gas and bloating. Worms may be present when passing stool. Harboring parasites can lead to conditions resulting in many diseases and in some instances very severe problems.
