For the first time insect with a loud name Demodexfolliculorum was found in the human auricle. The existence of this tick was discovered by a French dermatologist back in 1841. A year later, an insect was found in human hair. After some time, the doctors were horrified to find a parasite in human skin, which multiplied productively there, causing damage to human health.
Later, in the Soviet Union, with deeper studies, this species of mites was divided into two types.
Demodex mite is a pathogenic parasite.In total, 65 species of this insect are distinguished. Only 10 of them can parasitize in the human body, but this is already a large number, along with other diseases, pathologies that determine the life and internal state of the human body. The remaining 55 types of parasite Demodex multiply and conduct their livelihoods in the body and on the body of animals. Fortunately, they cannot be transmitted to man.
As it turned out, this kind has its ownpreferences regarding the time of day and localization on the human body. Periods of mite activity occur at night - daylight is unbearable for them. It parasitizes this species in the sebaceous glands, feeding on their products, as well as the nutrients necessary for healthy skin. The most common are two species of this tick: Demodex brevis, which prefers to multiply and parasitize on human skin, and Demodex folliculorum, an inhabitant of human hair follicles.
These mites get to the surface of the skin,moving slowly along it in order to find a partner for the continuation of the race. When the parasite returns to the follicles or sebaceous glands, on its body it puts there many harmful microorganisms, bacteria and harmful substances.
Dermatologists have found that the presence in the bodythe tick is harmless until its quantity crosses a certain barrier. If in the human body there are less than 4 ticks per follicle, in this case it does not affect the human health. 97% of the world's population can detect this species. A tick becomes fatal if the number of these parasites exceeds the above figures.
In the people of these parasites called mite iron. The disease that these parasites provoke is called demodicosis.
Symptoms of the disease affect the appearanceperson, bringing discomfort not only in his life, but also injuring the psyche of the patient. A person may form an inferiority complex. The primary symptom of demodicosis is redness of the skin, and then the appearance of acne and ulcer rash on it. The disease spreads throughout the body, focusing on the face, back, less often in the inguinal zone. The main foci of the rash are nasolabial folds, forehead, cheekbones, back, area near the nose, chin. Places covered with a rash, redden, itch and scaly. They are also characterized by oily shine. With the development of the disease, the symptoms worsen. It becomes noticeable expansion of blood vessels, severe redness and an increase in the nose. It affects not only the skin of the face, but also the eyes, scalp and hair itself. A purulent fluid begins to form from the eyes, and the eyelashes become thinner. The disease is accompanied by seborrhea and hair loss.
Demodecosis can appear for various reasons. This is due to the fact that, getting rid of the parasite, to recover from the disease completely will not work.
To provoke a disease can both externaland internal factors. But if demodecosis is diagnosed, treatment takes a long time in humans. No one is immune from re-infection if he once got rid of the parasite.
Пожалуй, самой главной причиной заражения weakened immunity becomes. This can be affected by various processes in the body: diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular and endocrine systems, stress and feelings, as well as the postoperative period. All these reasons can be attributed to internal factors.
To external can be attributed pollutedenvironment: dust, exposure to chemicals. The cause of the disease can be adverse conditions at work, which also includes the effects of various substances on the human body. Hormones, bad cosmetics, dirt, and detergents make their contribution. Along with food, various biological additives and preservatives enter the body, which can also trigger the disease.
If a person has worn this parasite for a long timehis body and he did not manifest itself, it means that immunity created a balance for the cohabitation of the tick and its carrier. However, when the balance is disturbed, the parasite has favorable conditions for reproduction. Immunity is declining and no longer able to fight ticks.
To identify the disease in humans, doctorsmake a scraping using a scalpel or an eye spoon. The content of the follicle, which is obtained by extrusion, is also taken as the material for analysis.
There are cases when suspicion of demodicosiscentury may appear right in the office of an ophthalmologist. In this case, the doctor is obliged to inform the patient what procedures need to be done for analysis. As a rule, doctors recommend 2-3 days before delivery of materials not to make cosmetic and hygienic procedures on the eyelids. During this time, at the base of the eyelashes accumulate enough waste products of the tick.
К сожалению, демодекоз передаётся человеку при direct contact with the patient. It also happens that a person, due to fuzzy following the instructions of a doctor, caused a relapse of the disease. It is important to follow the rules in order not to endanger either their own health or the health of their loved ones. So, if the diagnosis is demodicosis, treatment in humans includes the following rules:
1. Diet: avoid fried, fatty, spicy, smoked.
2. Avoid bad habits: drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes.
3. It is important to strictly follow the rules of personal hygiene: to maintain cleanliness, to expose bed linen to washing at high temperatures.
4. The patient must get rid of feather pillows.
5. It is strictly forbidden to use decorative cosmetics.
6. Personal hygiene items: glasses, shaving accessories should be treated with alcohol.
7. It is strictly forbidden for a patient with demodicosis to visit tanning salons, baths, to take sun baths.
Of course, such restrictions can deprive a person of pleasant moments in life, but it is better to get rid of the disease in time than to re-treat it.
