Imagine if there was a tiny creature living inside your stomach, feeding on your food and making you sick.

Doesn’t it sound like it’s something out of a horror movie? Well, it’s a reality for many people who are infected with parasites. But what are parasites, and how do they affect you? Let’s take a closer look.

What are Parasites and How Can They Affect You

What Are Parasites?

In order to understand parasites and how they can affect you, it’s important first to have a basic understanding of what they are. These parasites are the organisms that live inside or on the body of another organism, their host, and feed off of them.

Some parasites can cause serious health problems, while others may not cause any noticeable symptoms. It’s essential to be aware of the risks associated with parasites and take steps to protect yourself from them.

Parasites can be classified as either internal or external. Internal parasites are endoparasites that live inside the body, while external parasites are ectoparasites that attach themselves to the outside.

Regardless of where they reside, all parasites pose a risk to your health and must be eliminated.

However, where external parasites can easily be identified and purged, for example, lice and mites, internal parasites are much more challenging to locate and, subsequently, more difficult to wipe out.

This is why Dr. Clark Parasite Cleanse has become so popular in the past few years to ensure that internal parasites can easily be removed from the body through natural means by cleansing.

How Can Parasites Effect Your Daily Life?

The two classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans are Protozoa and Helminths. Protozoa and Helminths are endoparasites that reside inside the gut, muscle, and skin of human beings.

The majority of these do not cause severe illness but may pose a more significant threat to your health in the future. We have created a list of ways parasites can negatively affect your everyday life:

1. Anemia

Most parasites tend to get their nourishment from their host’s blood. Therefore, when you are infected by a parasite, you may become mildly or, in worst cases, severely anemic.

If such parasites are not treated immediately, the consequences could be highly severe to your short-term and long-term health.

2. Diarrhea and Vomiting

Gut-residing parasites when initially infect you, your body tends to reject them instantly. This leads to severe diarrhea and vomiting.

Most people tend to attribute this symptom to eating something that may have upset their stomachs, but it may very well be a parasite trying to accumulate itself into your body.

Immediate Parasite Cleansing should be administered when you have an episode of diarrhea and vomiting to ensure that any parasite at home can be purged in your body.

3. Fever

Since your body is not used to parasites, the first reaction it has to infection is by trying to get rid of the parasites through its natural defenses. Therefore, in addition to episodes of diarrhea and vomiting, you also end up running a fever.

Unfortunately, most parasites are adapted to dealing with high temperatures and are not deterred.

4. Impaired Growth and Fitness

It was discovered from intensive research that when children are infected with parasites at an early age, it could lead to stunted growth, future fitness, and development of both their body and brain functions.

5. Increased Appetite

Since the parasite within your body is essentially taking all the nutrients from your body and food, your energy levels are at an all-time low. Therefore you may experience that you are “always hungry.”

6. Rashes and Skin Bumps

Some parasites tend to live in the skin rather than the gut. These parasites take nourishment from feeding on your blood and healthy cells. Since they are actively eating your body from the inside, you may develop rashes from the enzymes they secrete or skin bumps from the cells they consume.

7. Sleeping Issues

You may also experience sleeping issues if you are infected with a parasite. Whether it be insomnia or sleeping for more extended periods of time and still not being well-rested, both can be a direct result of parasitism on your body.

This is because your body inherently knows that something is wrong and wants you to do something about it.

8. Unexplained Aches and Pains

Parasites also lead to sudden pains and ache throughout the body, depending on the origin of the infection. Gut parasites primarily result in sudden stomach aches that cannot be explained away.

At the same time, skin and blood parasites cause sudden pains in the location where they are present. Certain muscle parasites may cause your muscles to ache suddenly. Muscle parasites have also been attributed to many heart diseases.

9.  Weakness

As aforementioned, parasites tend to get nutrition from their hosts, which in this case is you. Since all your nourishment is going to the parasite, your body does not get any food. So, as a result, you can end up feeling weak and tired all the time.

10. Weight Loss

Parasite infections are also heavily linked with sudden and drastic weight loss in infected people. This is because the parasite is actively eating its way inside your body, and unless you get rid of it, it will continue to affect your health and body.

Now that you are aware that parasites can be very harmful to your daily life and overall health, remember that if you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, it is crucial that you go see a doctor and get tested for parasites.

Conclusion

So, what are parasites? Parasites are living organisms that reside in or on another organism and derive their nutrients from it. These parasites can cause many health problems and even death if left untreated.

In this blog post, we’ve highlighted some of the most common symptoms of parasite infection so that you can be aware of them and seek medical help if necessary. Thanks for reading!

If you believe that you may have a parasite infection, please consult with your doctor. You may also use Dr. Clark Parasite Cleanse , as it has been proven to be effective in eliminating parasites from the body.
