Horse Parasites

Many parasites can infect your horse, and some are entirely unpreventable. One such parasite is the bot, transmitted by the botfly. This fly lays its eggs on the skin of the horse, which is then transmitted to the mouth by licking. The parasites eventually move to the stomach attach themselves to the lining and feed. This can cause problems with digestion and obstruct the passage of food. After nine months, the larvae leave through the feces and borrow into the ground where they become adult botflies. There are a few anti-botfly sprays available on the market, but currently almost all horses are infected with this parasite.

Bloodworms live in the blood of horses and feed on the nutrients there. They pass through the digestive tract and back into the horse through the grass it eats. Severely infected horses become weak and anemic. It is recommended horses receive frequent de-worming treatments.

Roundworms migrate between the stomach and the lungs, stealing nutrition from developing foals. Foals should be treated approximately two months until two years of age keep these worms in check.

Pinworms can cause the horse severe anal itching as they congregate and look for a surface for the horse to contact. Infected horses often have bare patches around the tail from constant rubbing. Fortunately, they can be killed with similar drugs as other parasites.

Besides administering de-worming drugs, horse owners can prevent a horse's infection by keeping their environment clean, throwing away old hay, and not allowing water to accumulate and become a home for parasites.

different Types of Parasites in Stomach and Colon and associated Illnesses

When it comes to writing on Parasites: Intestinal, I don't know where to start and where to end for it is impossible to write on 3200 different varieties of parasites in 1 short article. On top of that the human body is a virtual breeding ground of more than 100 different types of parasites.

Let me now divide these parasites into 4 major categories: nematode, cestoda, trematoda and protozoa.

Sensitive Stomachs

Protozoa

Protozoa refer to the single cell parasites or unicellular parasites such as trichomonas vaginalis, sarcocystis, giardia, cryptosporidium, toxoplasmosis, neospora, protozoa infections and amoebae.

Nematodes

Nematodes refer to the trichinosis, toxocara worm, caninum, ancylostoma, stercoralis, strongyloides, heart worms, pin worms, whip worms, hook worms and coarse roundworms. These types of nematodes normally vary in size in the middle of 35 cm and 0.2 cm.

Trematodes

Trematodes or flukes refer to intestinal flukes, kidney flukes, lung flukes, liver flukes, blood flukes, bladder flukes and flat worms.

Cestodes

These are tapeworms. They refer to rat tapeworms, dwarf tapeworms, dog tapeworms, broad fish, pork tapeworms and bladder worms.

These are some of the broad spectrum divisions of sponge Intestinal.

Associated illnesses

The associated illnesses with Intestinal Parasites are bloating, gas or flatulence, a bloated stomach, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, dermatological problems, skin rashes, nervousness, low immune system, fatigue, digestive disorders, diarrhea, asthma, anemia etc.

Nervousness, restlessness, anxiety, sleeplessness, decreased immunoglobulin, immune dysfunction, lack of concentration, depression, apathy, flu like symptoms, tiredness, iron deficiency, sensitivities, food allergies, skin rashes with blisters are all associated illnesses that you recognize as a consequent of sponge Intestinal.

Parasite Intestinal diseases in children

When children suffer from sponge Intestinal infections, they display symptoms like a bleeding nose, bleeding rectum, twitching gum or eyelids, sensitivity to light, headaches, bed wetting, hyperactive behavior, dark circles under the eyes, milling of the teeth especially while sleeping, restlessness while sleeping, wiping the nose often and other such symptoms.

One more very coarse symptom of Intestinal sponge infection in children is the appearance of blisters on the lower lip insides. Sometimes human beings can feel toxic, there will be a lack of attention and one would not be able to think or remember clearly, there might be frequent bouts of memory loss.

And there might be eruptions on the skin. Many citizen suffer from digestive disorders, asthma and allergies. Whereas feelings of gnawing hunger charge others. These are all results of worm infections.

In short, Intestinal Parasites has the power to make Swiss cheese out of body organs. These worms burrow straight through and penetrate the liver, lungs, the circulatory system, the intestines, in fact the whole body and cause severe corporeal trauma.
