Skin Parasite in Humans
Skin Parasites – There are numerous forms of skin parasite that can cause suffering and illness in us, and most are well known and treatable. They take the form of miniscule insects – mites, fleas and ticks to name a few – and show up in various ways, causing a variety of skin problems that can be a source of serious suffering to the patient.
The Scabies Mite Among the most widely recorded cases of mites in humans are ones that feature the the Scabies, or Itch, mite. This miniature mite feeds on our blood and digs tiny tunnels in the skin where the female lays her egg stays for her lifetime. The creatures are passed around by one to one contact, as they can not live for long without a necessary host. The tunneling of the mites instigates very noticeable itching and discomfort, and leaves behind a tiny remnant of a line where the mite has crawled under the skin.
More on the Scabies Mite – Inflammation of the skin is a symptom, and scratching by the patient is inevitable, and simply exaggerates the problem. Recognising scabies is quite easy – the discolouration of the skin and the severe itching are signs – but it may also be taken for other similar infections , and is thus very hard to diagnose correctly. One added problem is that the symptoms may not be evident until several weeks after the mites have arrived, leading to the problem being very advanced by the time it is diagnosed. Once diagnosed, however, scabies can be treated with a number of creams and lotions and other routines, and is hardly difficult to treat very swiftly indeed.
Ticks – Ticks are removed from mites in that they are seen above the skin, and feed on our blood by biting their way into the skin and securing themselves by way of very powerful tooth-like barbs. This is one aspect of ticks that live on mammals and humans that makes them extremely horrible; it also makes them extremely difficult to remove correctly, and whether on a human or animal, it is not advised to simply pick a tick that is in the process of dining off the body. This could to leave the sharp section – the anchor – in the top layers of the skin and, in many cases, can lead to surgery being necessary in order to prevent a worse situation. The right method of removing ticks is to smear them in butter or oil, or other fatty substances, which should suffocate the mite in a short time. The application of such results in a weakening of the creature’s grip, and it should thus be easy to remove. Ticks, notably those found in tropical locations, can carry a number of very nasty fevers, and as such must be treated with a degree of suspicion in all cases.
Morgellons Syndrome One of the more worrying afflictions associated with skin parasites is that known as Morgellons Syndrome, a recently reported condition that is as interesting as it is terrifying. Morgellons syndrome is a parasitic problem with a specific feature – there are no parasites frequency of the condition. However, it is accepted as not being an entirely original condition, just one that has been spread more widely in recent years. Treatment for Morgellons syndrome often follows that used for similar delusionary afflictions, and so far it has not been accepted by the medical profession as anything different toan inexplicable psychological.
