As a general rule, a person does not think about his health and the number of parasites in his body until he feels bad. The patient does not know which specialist to go to to find out the exact number of parasites present and which organ they damage.

What parasites can live in the human body?

- Ectoparasites. They live outside the human body. They feed on human blood and tissue. Ectoparasites include lice, bed bugs, ticks, mosquitoes, and other insects.
It is much easier to recognize the defeat of the body by ectoparasites. Its presence has external signs that are simply impossible not to notice:
