Who lives in the human body. Human Body in Numbers (Interesting Facts)

Basically, pathogenic organisms consume nutrients and that a person receives from food. Perhaps this behavior of "uninvited guests" explains the fact that many people leading a correct lifestyle, watching over their health and nutrition, do not get the desired result, since these "parasites" take all the best, leaving only a small particle of useful substances to a person. These creatures are so cunning that they often disguise themselves as other diseases, and a person can go to doctors for years, but not notice a positive result in treatment.

Foreign organisms can enter the human body in several ways, but most often, infection occurs through:

For the first time, a pinworm enters a child's body with dirty hands, through dishes, underwear, toys of other children.

Squid semen
This incident happened to a 63-year-old resident South Korea... Eating half-raw squid in a restaurant, she suddenly felt a disgusting taste in her mouth, and then - the urge to vomit. As time went on, but she did not get better, and she had to see a doctor. He told the victim that a squid spermatophore, a repository of the male's sperm, had fallen into her teeth. Squid spermatozoa, as it turned out, are incompatible with the human body - at least without harm to this body. Fortunately, they cannot develop in it, so parting with vile food was not particularly painful for the victim.

57 fly larvae
Not everyone knows that a fly is an insect that is deadly to humans. At least if it gets stuck in his ear. This is exactly what happened to a 92-year-old patient, from whose ear doctors removed a dead fly and 57 live larvae. The fly appeared to be stuck in the ear when it was time for it to lay its eggs. A few days later, when the developing larvae began to cause unbearable pain to the patient, she nevertheless turned to doctors who saved her from suffering.

Several hundred larvae
The story of 57 larvae in the ear is nothing before the case of a Hindu who consulted a doctor for an ear infection. After examining the patient, the doctor realized that it was not an infection - hundreds of small fly larvae were simply devouring the flesh of a man alive! He had to endure a very painful procedure for their removal, and then he had to undergo treatment for a long time.

Plants in the lungs
Massachusetts resident Ronan Swedan couldn't get rid of his cough for many months. Doctors suspected he had a tumor in his lungs, but X-rays revealed a much more exotic cause for his suffering. Apparently, once Ronan swallowed a pea, which by accident went into the respiratory tract ... and sprouted in the lungs! The man had to undergo an operation that saved him from the garden in his lungs.

Fish in the bladder
Men who find themselves on the shores of the Amazon or the Ganges should never urinate in the water! Local small fish are attracted by the smell of urine - so much so that, when they swim up to the violator of sanitary norms, they swim to the source of the aromas, penetrating the penis and urethra and delivering a lot of suffering to the victim. Indian doctors recently described a case when such a fish, only 2 centietra long, swam down the urethra into the bladder of a local young man, and in order to remove the source of suffering, he had to undergo a complex surgical operation.

Fish in the lungs
Tourists are often warned against drinking water from Indian rivers. Local residents are much more indifferent to this - and in vain! Recently, a boy was admitted to a hospital in India with breathing problems. X-rays revealed that his lung contains ... a live fish 7 centimeters long! As it turned out, the victim was playing with friends on the river in a game popular with local boys "who will swallow live fish?" The young daredevil managed to swallow it - but the fish got into the wrong throat, and as a result, the boy had to go under the surgeon's knife.

Acne in the bladder
This story happened to an elderly Chinese man who was seduced by a "fish peel" - a bath with conger eels, which, according to the organizer of the event, were supposed to bite off pieces of keratinized skin from the body. But one of the acne chose to act differently - and climbed the patient's ureter directly into the bladder. When the surgeons removed the eel and measured it, it turned out to be almost 15 centimeters. One can imagine the suffering of the unfortunate!

Acne in the intestines
This wild story also happened in China and also with eel. But only in this case, the victim launched it into the body of his own free will. While watching pornography, a Chinese man decided to give himself an exquisite pleasure - and launched a live eel into the rectum! It is not known what he was counting on, but the eel, feeling trapped, tried to make its way to freedom, for which he gnawed the large intestine of the pervert - and immediately got entangled in the internal organs. The sufferer was taken to the hospital with severe internal bleeding, and the doctors had to spend a lot of effort to keep him alive.

Larvae in hair
This happened to a Colorado resident in 2007. The man suffered from itching in the scalp for many weeks. Shampoos and dandruff remedies were ineffective. The itching turned into pain, which soon became completely unbearable. Only then the unfortunate man went to the doctor, who discovered that he had laid gadfly larvae under the man's hair. They grew and fed right under the scalp of the victim, and were already quite large. As soon as the doctors removed them, the patient immediately recovered.

Cockroach in the ear
Small flies and midges get into the ears of children and adults quite often. However, Australian Hendrik Helmer can be considered the record holder in this respect: when he came to the doctor with a complaint of unbearable ear pain, the doctor removed an almost three-centimeter cockroach from his ear canal! Due to the size of the insect, it was not so easy to do this, and the doctor had to work a lot with tweezers in order to evict the intruder and not damage the patient's eardrum. Fortunately, everything ended well.

Own twin
In medicine, only a few such cases have been noted, and each of them makes you flinch with horror and disgust. One of them happened in June 1999 in India. A man named Sanju Bhagat, during a routine examination, learned that his bulky belly was not at all the result of a passion for beer and sweets. As it turned out, in the stomach of 36-year-old Bhagat lived his half-formed twin brother, underdeveloped during the prenatal period. The surgeons relieved Bhagat of this burden, after which the man felt great relief.

Guinea worm

6. When a person swims or bathes in reservoirs with unfiltered water, he can swallow a water flea. These fleas love polluted lakes and ponds, where they sit and wait for their prey. When they enter the stomach, the gastric juice dissolves the flea, but the rishta that was inside the flea (dracunculiasis) passes on. A year later, the worm already reaches a length of 60-90 cm. The human body becomes small for him, and he tries to get out of it to the surface. The body begins to burn, there is a desire to plunge into cold water to get rid of the burning sensation and pain. But this is what the worm needs! He releases thousands of his larvae into the water, and he himself remains in the body.

7. Both parents and representatives of the authorities always remind that it is forbidden to write in a river or lake or a pool.

In the body, it feeds on blood and flesh, causing severe pain.

Ascaris

8. Ascaris, an annelid worm, in the human body can grow up to 30 cm in length. It is easy to get infected in rural areas. Her living inside is not accompanied by any symptoms until the number of worms reaches a maximum. If this happens, then headaches, fever, nausea, diarrhea, etc. will torment. Basically, roundworms affect children more often than adults, since they wash their hands less often.

Itch itching

The tapeworm

10. The tapeworm is the worst parasite, so to speak. It mainly lives in the human brain and lives for 20 years. During this period, symptoms appear that are so common that it is extremely difficult to associate them with the vital activity of the parasite. When he grows up, he seeks to kill his master. You can become infected with the parasite by drinking contaminated water and meat.
