The parasite is raised by those who support them.
A parasite is a person who lives and acts at the expense of other people.
Total Parasites are rare - more often a person exhibits the position of a Parasite at some time in some area. More precisely, to talk about the position of the Parasite, which seems to happen to each of us at some point.
In a situation of prosperity and abundance, the Parasite wastes time, money and energy without thinking about the future. If there is an opportunity to live or hang out at someone else’s expense, he is simply happy, so he sucks up to the powerful and rich.
For the Parasite, those who are useful are his own, and in the sense that they must help him. Unfortunately, he cannot reciprocate their feelings because (a lot of reasons).
In a difficult situation, the Parasite is first and foremost a buffoon and a lazy person, not thinking about who will do everything that is needed. Agreements for the Parasite are an abstract thing: “My word: I gave it, I’ll take it back!” It is typical to shift one’s responsibility for what happened onto others, the world, life and other circumstances.
“I didn’t buy it because there were lines!” and also “Listen, I can’t give you your money back, I’m completely broke right now!” Such a person can speak beautifully and responsibly, but in business he suddenly turns out to be an unreliable person, loading you with a Parasite.
In a situation of competition for limited resources, the Parasite is looking for opportunities to circumvent the rules common to all and still resolve the issue in its favor, even if dishonestly.
In a dangerous situation, the Parasite at first does nothing, hoping for Avos, and when thunder strikes, he cries and begs to be saved in order to attract the attention of those who can help him. When it gets really hot, he is a coward, he runs away, abandoning everyone, without thinking about anyone. They caught him - he is a traitor, he will betray everyone just to save himself.
The Parasite's dream is to be friends with Luck and find a Self-Assembled Tablecloth in order to always have a free Freebie.
Discussion: where are the exact boundaries?
A parasite is one of the ways of human life, along with the way of life of the Creator, the Romantic and the Consumer. The opposite of the Parasite’s position is the Doer’s position, however, it is important to clarify the boundaries of the concept: indeed, children, women, and elderly people often live at someone else’s expense. Is it correct to call these people parasites? Apparently not. A parasite is someone who lives at someone else's expense without the consent of the person at whose expense this is happening, who likes to live at someone else's expense.
A thoughtless parasite - accustomed to living at the expense of others and not thinking about who feeds and supports him. A consciously living parasite is one who lives the philosophy of the Parasite and quite consciously seeks those who will support, feed, and otherwise take care of him without aggravating conditions.
However, no one would call an elderly person, whom children and grandchildren consider it an honor to care for, a parasite. What gives him the right to live off his grandchildren is not his age, but his previous life, where he was active, caring and loving. If a person has been a parasite all his life, then, having become old and infirm, he does not by default receive the right to anyone’s care and maintenance, and most often he does not have anyone who could do this.
Live so that in old age you have children and grandchildren who can look after you and do it from the heart, with love.
Men like to look after the women they love, and a woman who allows a man to look after her: gives her a hand, opens the door for her, helps her carry heavy things - is not a parasite, but a woman who decorates a man’s life.
If a woman does not decorate a man’s life, but demands attention, care and money from him, then this is already a parasitic way of life.
Children live at the expense of their parents, but if at this time they please their parents and learn to be human, this is not parasitism, but childhood. When a child doesn’t learn anything good and doesn’t think of pleasing his parents, takes their care for granted, without gratitude (and, on the contrary, with complaints), he turns into a parasite.
A child is standing in a fur coat, his mitten has fallen on the snow. What will the child do? Will he bend over and pick him up? This child thinks differently. Without turning his head, he loudly says to his mother: “Fell!” and waits for his mother to serve him. This is already the behavior of a parasite.
A parasite is a type of freeloader where another person or organization takes the place of the “world.” Freeloaders are people looking for free cheese that luck will give them.
Got it in my head. How parasites control the behavior of their hosts
Fortunately, in most cases, the effects of Toxoplasma are limited to slower reactions and persistent worsening of mood. The biological meaning of the first is simple: a slow animal is easier for a predator to catch. The second is more difficult to explain. This is probably a “side effect” of Toxoplasma that appears in humans simply because it is the easiest way for us to observe its manifestations.
However, no one died directly from irritability, but from not responding quickly enough, quite sure. Where does a modern person most often have to show attentiveness and efficiency? That's right, on the road. You've probably read crime reports with phrases like "the driver lost control." Typically, this means that he did not react quickly enough to something. And there is a suspicion that toxoplasma is the cause of the slowness of some road users.
In 2020, employees of the First Moscow State Medical University named after.
THEM. Sechenov and the Moscow City Research Institute of Emergency Medicine named after N.V. Sklifosovsky examined 252 drivers, 100 of whom were involved in an accident due to their own fault. Of these hundred, toxoplasma was found in the blood of 45 people, that is, almost half of those examined, and among those 152 who simply came for a routine medical examination, it was found in only a quarter. This suggests that the presence of Toxoplasma gondii in the body negatively affects a person’s attention and reaction speed. The authors of the work themselves attribute its influence to the fact that toxoplasma is capable of changing the intensity of the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that regulates both movements and positive emotions. Mushroom puppeteers
Other notable parasites are mushrooms. Their cells are very similar in structure to animal cells, so it can be difficult to get rid of them: you need to find a remedy that would act on the cells of the fungi, but would not affect the cells of the animal itself. Despite this similarity, mushrooms - and according to the modern classification this is a large and complex group - have a number of biochemical “superpowers” that allow them to synthesize a wide range of substances that affect the nervous system.
For example, the “fly mushroom”, Entomophthora muscae, greatly changes the behavior of its victims and almost immediately sends out shoots into neurons, but until the death of the flies it does not significantly change the structure of their nervous system. This was discovered last year by experts from the University of California at Berkeley. They infected laboratory fruit flies with entomophthora and killed groups of flies every few hours to see what their organs looked like in sections and to find out how the activity of various enzymes and the intensity of biochemical reactions in their tissues changed.
Signs of an Energy Vampire
1. Intrusiveness
We all have acquaintances, at the sight of whom we really want to lower our heads and quickly run past, in the vain hope that they won’t notice. Not so. He will definitely notice, stop and start whining. He will tell you what kind of enemies and “insignificant individuals” surround him, how he is offended and not appreciated. And how bad everything is for him, and it will only get worse. And after a long speech, when you finally manage to break free, you will feel weak, a feeling of constant guilt and a complete loss of strength. Such people are regular visitors to the consumer protection society, endlessly write complaints and believe that everyone owes them.

Aggressiveness
Energy vampires often throw those around them out of balance. They deliberately provoke a situation accompanied by violent emotions. Unfair reproaches, absurd accusations, open lies, anything that can cause a sharp reaction will fly at you. And after the scandal is over, and you are physically and spiritually exhausted, the vampire will simply radiate pleasure, even if a minute ago he was bursting into burning tears. These are the same people who make scandals in queues, minibuses and other public places - this is how they feed off energy.
Meticulousness
Of course, your family and close friends know almost everything about you. But acquaintances are more often just out of politeness interested in your affairs. If suddenly a stranger asks for details of something that has absolutely nothing to do with him, then it is quite possible that he is trying to “recharge” with your energy.
Love of intrigue
Gossip and quarrels in a team are the most fertile ground for the release of emotions and energy. The vampire loves to quarrel with everyone by secretly telling them who said something about whom. He knows how to masterfully manipulate people and can ruin relationships even among close friends.
Makes quick decisions
Where people cannot decide to change for years, vampires lead the way. Getting married on the second day of dating, and disappearing forever after a stupid disagreement, charming an employer, getting a prestigious job and suddenly leaving it - vampires always lack thrills. They also love sporting events, concerts, engage in extreme sports themselves, and in general, they can often be found where people show their emotions.

Flattery
Such people really love to “do good.” He will see, praise, hug (vampires especially love tactile contact) and give a lot of compliments. He is able to show care and participation, will help and advise. And when you are moved by such a wonderful attitude, it will suck some of the energy. You can recognize it by the remaining “aftertaste” after communication.
Parasitism
Such people constantly have problems that they are unable to cope with on their own, and they find someone who will lend a shoulder. They will ask for help very softly, batting their eyelashes, looking devotedly into your eyes and talking about your strength, competence, nobility, and so on. And then you yourself will not notice how you start constantly doing something for him, feeling angry, helpless, but at the same time - the obligation to do work that is completely unnecessary for you.
What are parasites?
A parasite (see photo below) is an organism that lives entirely at the expense of another, larger organism. Depending on the location, there are ectoparasites, which live on a person from the outside, and endoparasites, which infect him from the inside. Depending on the species composition, parasites can be viruses, bacteria, worms, insects and even vertebrates.
Parasites cannot be considered something unnatural. On the contrary, until scientists realized what it was and where it came from, people were constantly infected, which was one of the reasons for low life expectancy 1 - 2 centuries ago. After all, many of the parasites are fatal, and in some cases only qualified medical intervention can save lives.
In others, the disease can last for decades, since the parasites skillfully disguise themselves as other diseases, which cannot be cured until their real cause is eliminated.

There are men you should stay away from, as long-term relationships with them can seriously undermine your psyche.
Often a woman thinks that she has met the man of her dreams, but after a while the lady finds herself on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She becomes uninterested in life, and she not only ceases to respect herself, but also considers her a complete loser.
Fatal men get in the way of women more often than others.
The relationship begins vigorously and develops quickly. Beautiful courtship is followed by a marriage proposal. The man seems perfect at first. He is attentive, obligatory, caring. A woman is delighted with this attitude. But the idyll does not last long - only until the man is convinced that he has completely conquered the woman.
After this, everything slowly begins to change.
He may disappear for a while, and then call as if nothing had happened.
If a woman timidly expresses dissatisfaction, he is even capable of being rude: “Did you think that I was going to marry you?”
Such men are most often married and torment their mistress for years, promising to divorce and convincing her to wait a little. A woman has to come to terms with such a life: after despair comes a short holiday.
She doesn’t think about other men, as she is unaccustomed to normal relationships.
It seems to her that everything will soon get better, her lover will belong only to her.
But all these are just illusions that destroy her psyche and lead to deep depression.
A tragic hero is a man who considers himself talented and unusual, but unrecognized. Most often this is a failed creative person. Women treat such men as children. They wrap them in care, support them, try to get them jobs, and get them out of unpleasant situations. They plunge into such a life, not noticing at first that it drains their nerves and strength.
Over time, a man begins to take such sacrifice for granted and even express dissatisfaction.
Pity for an infantile and selfish person leads a woman to internal collapse. She puts energy into emptiness, instead of investing it in her development or raising a child.
The male parasite seems to be a calm and balanced person. Such people can achieve a lot. Outwardly, they are decent, positive individuals. This man is not scandalous - he simply becomes silent for a week, for two, for a month, that is, he “sulks.”
The woman begins to blame herself, asking herself the question: “What did I do wrong?” The man does not make contact with her and responds to a direct question with hints, driving the woman into a complete frenzy and cultivating a sense of guilt in her.
He, like an invisible parasite, penetrates inside and gradually destroys the woman. In this union, the woman has one task - to please her husband.
A constant feeling of guilt suppresses and depresses her. A woman may even become addicted to alcohol and go completely downhill.
The male puppeteer is rich, successful, independent.
Many young girls dream of this, because it can give them a beautiful, prosperous life. A woman for him is a beautiful doll, which he most often keeps in a “golden cage.” After some time, he begins to humiliate and insult her in front of strangers, emphasizing his superiority.
This attitude undermines a woman’s self-confidence, her strengths and virtues. She cannot leave because she does not perceive herself as a self-sufficient person. The woman decides to endure, which further strengthens the man’s confidence “she won’t go anywhere.”
It is impossible to re-educate and remake such men.
Every woman should, first of all, take care of her life, her spiritual comfort. We must try to soberly assess our partner from the first meetings, to discern his deep complexes, so as not to become a victim.
The most dangerous psychological types of men
Why do some women meet and marry one person, but in the end find themselves face to face with a completely new, hitherto unknown person, and the actions of their loved one, which seemed funny and original in the past, turn into a real nightmare?..
Intrapersonal qualities are very important for family life, but, as a rule, when choosing a groom and then a husband, a woman does not pay attention to some of the oddities of her chosen one...
It is easier for relatives to hide the peculiarities of the psyche of their loved ones than to spoil the romantic relationship of two lovers by talking about shortcomings, which, at times, are not at all noticeable to others.
The interaction between a man and a woman involves not only sexual intimacy, but also relationships in everyday life.
Therefore, it is useful to take a closer look at a man’s behavior in everyday life, no matter how sweet and mysterious it may be.
To do this, we can classify a set of signs of certain mental disorders, which in the future may progress and darken family happiness.
Having discarded all conventions, we can identify several psychological types of men, and despite the share of irony, we can safely use this information when choosing a life partner or even during the most casual acquaintance.
Schizoid
The term “schizoid” should not be perceived extremely negatively, since any personality contains certain traits of the schizoid personality type.
A schizoid often sticks out his lips when he is dissatisfied with something. He slouches, adjusting his glasses with a poke to the bridge of his nose. He often drops things, and while sitting at the table, he unsuccessfully tries to reach objects without calculating the distance.
He burns himself while finishing his cigarette. He is not neat, does not take care of his nails, clothes and hairstyle. Sometimes his gaze openly wanders or is directed from under his brows, his speech is confused, his patter is replaced by long pauses.
He likes to emphasize stress, rhyme words, facial expressions and gestures do not correspond to the content.
Loose buttons on a shirt and threads on a jacket are not a symbol of an “ownerless bachelor,” and if he doesn’t clean his shoes and forgets to fasten his fly, then this is not at all a sign of depression and multiple sclerosis.
By the way, schizoids with weakly expressed features can seem very attractive.
Determining such a personality is difficult due to the charm that a schizoid often produces on others. The stumbling block is that a man in love is capable of unusual actions, and many women like it.
An eccentric man seems brighter and more original than a cold and pragmatic beech, and funny incidents on a love date are attributed to excitement and shyness.
The “lair” of a schizoid is an untidy room in which complete chaos reigns: from the desk to the sleeping bed. A lot of books. Some contain bookmarks, notes in the margins, and torn pages.
Some things can be found in the most unlikely places.
For example, cigarettes in the refrigerator or socks in the bottom drawer of the kitchen table are a reason for sadness rather than for smiles...
Putting things in order, rearranging and sorting out his things is a reason to run into conflict or cause a sudden outbreak of anger and irritation.
A schizoid is indifferent to fashion trends in clothing, the latest in modern technology, he is not interested in a career, but he likes classical music, retro style, surreal paintings, psychological literature and topics far from everyday problems.
Over time, you can discover some kind of schizoid passion for things that are rarely used or have no practical value at all.
This is collecting and fetishism of things, for example, stationery. No one should ever touch a schizoid's ink pen and beautiful notebook, drink from his favorite mug, or use his decorative knife or lighter for its intended purpose.
Among schizoids there are real thinkers, for whom consciousness is much more important than existence itself. A talented schizoid can become a profitable groom and husband, but he needs to be guided because of his impracticality, which, for example, is typical for a creative person if all ideas “go to the table” and therefore remain unclaimed.
A talented schizoid needs a skillful “conductor”, and not an eternally dissatisfied partner who is used to sorting things out with the help of screams and tears.
A woman of a hysterical type is especially unsuitable for the schizoid type.
She can easily provoke deep depression and turn her man’s schizoid temperament into a disease - schizophrenia.
Epileptoid
The portrait of an epileptoid is that of a powerful, authoritarian personality who is constantly irritated over trifles.
The epileptoid's hair is carefully styled and does not fall into his eyes. He never leaves his comb, is neat in his clothes, gives banal gifts, loves traditions, is punctual and stingy with compliments.
The epileptoid is categorical in his judgments, loves order and consistency in everything. He is interested in politics, social problems of society, achievements of science and technology. Superstition and mysticism are alien to him; he does not believe in predictions and other nonsense. A woman's love for fortune telling can infuriate the most psychologically stable epileptoid
. His emotionality and impressionability irritate him, even to the point of accusations of unforgivable stupidity.
Occasional offensive statements addressed to a partner over time can turn into constant nagging and even threats. Some women may be struck by the epileptoid’s insensitivity to the grief of others, while at first the callousness of character is not noticeable under the romantic veil of external sympathy.
The epileptoid has one or more phobias
. He is squeamish, cannot stand dirt, dampness and cold, and loves comfort and well-prepared dishes. A cookbook in the most visible place in the kitchen and perfect order in the apartment are the most important criteria by which he evaluates his future chosen one.
However, in the opinion of a typical family epileptoid, his wife does not know how to cook, she is a slob and dirty, and the children are disobedient and annoying.
Epileptoids are compatible with women of the same type, or with those who do not like to take initiative and consider the parental teachings of their husband acceptable.
An epileptoid, as a rule, is the first to break off relations with a hysterical woman, although he has a hard time experiencing failures in his personal life.
He is vindictive and vindictive. A demanding epileptoid is able to get along with a woman of the hysterical type, provided that she has higher intelligence and a certain position in society, achieves success in her work and is respected by others.
The epileptoid is quite suitable for family life; he not only always tries to improve his financial situation, loves to save money, but also willingly spends his savings on vacation.
But raising children will be completely strict, sometimes reaching the point of absurdity, which will negatively affect the child’s psyche and is fraught with various conflicts, especially in adolescence.
The older the epileptoid gets, the more grumpy and greedy he becomes, he likes to make “stashes” and count the money his wife has spent.
A woman who loves to spend money on new outfits, for whom the words “savings” and “economy” are in no way interconnected in meaning and are mysterious, complex terms from textbooks, is better to refrain from a close relationship with an epileptoid.
In addition, the epileptoid never admits his mistakes and is always confident that he is right, even if his collar is stained with someone else’s lipstick or he spent the night in a sobering-up station.
For a woman who cannot imagine sex without variety, and relationships without intimate, confidential conversations, the epileptoid is useful only in housework: for example, hammering a nail.
Tyrant (paranoid)
Unfortunately, not every woman is able to recognize a tyrant and despot in her lover, since he carefully disguises his shortcomings and weaknesses.
The tyrant's appearance is of no importance; A domestic tyrant can be either a brutal macho man or an inconspicuous quiet guy with glasses.
Often, signs of tyranny can appear only after one to two years of marriage.
If a woman complains that her husband “seems to have been replaced,” then it is possible that this man is a tyrant...
A tendency toward alcoholism and infidelity is much easier to identify than the darkest recesses of the soul of a potential sadist.
Rudeness and cruelty have a wide variety of reasons - from the internal structure of the family in which the man grew up, psychological trauma, humiliation and many other reasons.
Family life turns into hell, scandals and reproaches become commonplace. Assault is possible.
Every tyrant is able to charm a woman with his cheerful character, win her over with his nobility of actions and skillful courtship.
The intimate side of the relationship is also important, because the tyrant is an ardent and passionate lover; everything he does is done with pleasure, he prefers to give a woman sexual pleasure, admire her, and fulfill any of her whims. The only alarming thing is that the hidden tyrant periodically finds himself in such situations and commits such actions, for which he then endlessly apologizes, as if it gives him pleasure.
He is excited by quarrels and reconciliations, and his beloved’s refusal of intimate contacts as punishment for “indecent behavior” only inflames the tyrant.
Once access to the body is gained, he again becomes angry and irritable, then history repeats itself.
The tyrant takes the initiative for reconciliation, but without discussing the causes and essence of the conflict.
If this is impossible, then he resorts to some trick, for example, giving expensive gifts or arranging a romantic evening.
Excessive suspicion, delusions of grandeur, persecution and other signs of paranoia are types of psychosis that even the most experienced woman in relationships cannot help get rid of.
In modern society, when slowly but surely the traditions of house-building and the patriarchal structure of the family are becoming a thing of the past, a woman should be more attentive to the young man’s opinion regarding the distribution of family rights and responsibilities, even if it is of a comic nature.
The tyrant’s fantasies are simple and uncomplicated: the wife has direct responsibilities, and the husband has rights, a woman can count on loving flirtation and understanding only before the wedding, and after that she must focus her attention on running the household and raising children.
Outbursts of jealousy accompanied by rage and uncontrollable aggression are a typical sign of a notorious tyrant
. A man who lets his hands loose will never stop, unless he is overcome by rheumatism or complete paralysis of the limbs.
A woman who is a victim of such terror can stock up on a combat suit if she does not want to spend the rest of her life covered in bruises.
If you do not break off a dubious union in terms of happy family prospects in time, then this can become a habit. Often, causing pain contributes to the sexual satisfaction of the tyrant, but there are exceptions when such sadomasochistic relationships suit both partners.
Parasites in the mouth
Parasites in the human mouth can most often be represented by the following types:
- Trichomonas;
- oral amoeba;
- Diptera larvae (oral myiases).
The clinical picture may be as follows:
- allergies;
- weakness, weight loss;
- foul odor from the mouth;
- sensation of movement in the larynx;
- itching and soreness;
- nausea, loss of strength.
Worms that live in the oral cavity can destroy teeth and create purulent plaque on the mucous membrane and tongue. Treatment is prescribed only by a doctor, who takes into account the existing symptoms, as well as the types of parasites. A mandatory condition for treatment is the examination of all people in contact with the patient.
Types of popular parasites
The closer you are to nature, to traditions, the greater the likelihood of having one of the parasites or a whole set of them.
Roundworms and tapeworms, fleas, lice, subcutaneous mites, larvae of the gadfly and the Wohlfarth fly - this is not a complete list of those who thirst for human flesh and blood. Let's take a detailed look at the causes, symptoms and treatment of at least the main types of parasites in the human body.
Tapeworm
Tapeworms are the informal name for large tapeworms such as bovine tapeworms, pork tapeworms, and broad tapeworms. The worm lives in the small and large intestines, remaining unnoticed for the first few months, and over time leads to severe weight loss of its “host”.
The general structure of all tapeworms consists of a head with suckers, with which the helminth is attached to the wall of the small intestine, and several hundred or thousand segments of gradually increasing thickness in which the eggs mature.
Summarizing
Not all, even the most common parasites that can live inside the human body, were discussed above. It is important to understand the great danger of that neighborhood: worms in a person can cause very serious consequences and ultimately cause the death of their owner. Therefore, it is very important to diagnose parasites in a timely manner and get rid of them. As for preventive measures, they mainly consist of hygiene and high-quality roasting of the meat consumed.
Classification of parasites
Let us consider in more detail the main types of human endoparasites. The appearance of many of them can only be seen under a microscope, and some, especially helminths, are striking in their size. Let's start with the simplest ones:
- Giardia, along with dysbacteriosis, is also the cause of hypovitaminosis, anemia and general intoxication of the body.
- Toxoplasma affects the brain, eyes, heart muscle, and nervous system, but they pose a particular danger to pregnant women due to the risk of fetal death or severe damage to the fetus.
- Amoebas can cause amebic dysentery, amebic encephalitis and other dangerous diseases.
- Trichomonas are sources of infectious diseases of the genitourinary system.
