Parasitic invasion are they comon?

Question:

anyone got anyrhing on scabies or ,maybe worms Can humans get them

Answers:
No their not common, but my brother once had worms that would come out of his anus everytime he went to the bathroom. What worms do is they latch onto our intestines and feed off of you. The unembryonated eggs are passed with the stool . In the soil, the eggs develop into a 2-cell stage , an advanced cleavage stage , and then they embryonate ; eggs become infective in 15 to 30 days. After ingestion (soil-contaminated hands or food), the eggs hatch in the small intestine, and release larvae that mature and establish themselves as adults in the colon . The adult worms (approximately 4 cm in length) live in the cecum and ascending colon. The adult worms are fixed in that location, with the anterior portions threaded into the mucosa. The females begin to oviposit 60 to 70 days after infection. Female worms in the cecum shed between 3,000 and 20,000 eggs per day. The life span of the adults is about 1 year.

Geographic Distribution:
The third most common round worm of humans. Worldwide, with infections more frequent in areas with tropical weather and poor sanitation practices, and among children. It is estimated that 800 million people are infected worldwide. Trichuriasis occurs in the southern United States.

Hang on I'm looking up scabies..

Scabies is a contagious (catching) disorder of the skin caused by very small, wingless insects or mites called the Human Itch mite or Scabies itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis (Hering). The female insect burrows into the skin where she lays 1 - 3 eggs daily. A very small, hard to see, zigzag blister usually marks the trail of the insect as she lays her eggs. Other more obvious symptoms are an intense itching (especially at night) and a red rash that can occur at the area that has been scratched. The most common locations for scabies are on the sides of fingers, between the fingers, on the backs of the hands, on the wrists, heels, elbows, armpits, inner thighs and around the waist (belt line). If untreated, the female will continue to lay eggs for about five weeks. The eggs hatch and the new mites begin the cycle all over again. The mites themselves are too small to be seen without magnification. One of the great problems with scabies always has been misdiagnosis. Scabies is spread by personal contact, e.g., by shaking hands or sleeping together or by close contact with infected articles such as clothing, bedding or towels. It is usually found where people are crowded together or have frequent contact, and is most common among school children, families, roommates, and sexual partners. Scabies can be spread by the insect itself or by the egg. Prompt action is required to rid a person of the insects and eggs. Sulfur has been used (6 - 10% in lotion or cream) since Roman times as a scabicide, but you might be allergic.

Other Answers:
Parasites are much more common in the tropics, where people have to cope with liver flukes, amoebas that cause amoebic dysentery, malaria, hookworms, elephantiasis, and so on. You can get scabies around here (in New England), but you don't want to. They are mites that burrow and reproduce under the skin. They cause intense itching. They can only be killed with a certain insecticide.
Lice and ticks, strictly speaking, are also parasites (as are leeches). Lice are easily killed with insecticide shampoos, ticks are easy to remove, and leeches are gross but not dangerous. Many people apply a lit cigarette to a leech to make it release its bite, but you can sprinkle them with salt too.

YUCKY !EWWWW!!

"Scabies is an infestation of the skin with the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabei. Infestation is common, found worldwide, and affects people of all races and social classes. Scabies spreads rapidly under crowded conditions where there is frequent skin-to-skin contact between people, such as in hospitals, institutions, child-care facilities, and nursing homes.

Several lotions are available to treat scabies. Always follow the directions provided by your physician or the directions on the package insert. Apply lotion to a clean body from the neck down to the toes and left overnight (8 hours). After 8 hours, take a bath or shower to wash off the lotion. Put on clean clothes. All clothes, bedding, and towels used by the infested person 2 days before treatment should be washed in hot water; dry in a hot dryer. A second treatment of the body with the same lotion may be necessary 7-10 days later. Pregnant women and children are often treated with milder scabies medications."

I think they are alot more common than most of us realize. Some parasites are attracted to metals, that is a common argument against metal tooth fillings. Also, sometimes gallbladder stones can be cracked opened to find a dead worm (parasite) all curled up inside. Go to curezone.com to find some interesting blogs and gross pictures of parasites or what they refer to as "critters."

And I think one's stool can be tested for various parisites of the body. If you are really freaked out about it, go looking for a "Zapper," and some "Clarkia".

yes scabies live undernearh your skin usually they infest between your fingers and toes you will get little red spots all over your body the only way to get rid of them is a lotion you can get from the doctor

great question.great answers!!
