Itching

It was most likely "Norwegian scabies" which refers instead to a particularly severe form of scabies that is also known as crusted scabies. Crusted scabies has been called Norwegian scabies because the condition was first described in Norway in the mid-19th century.

it doesn't really matter if you stop itching. Nits which are the egg of the louse can take 1 to 4 weeks to hatch which means you could still have nits. you should start of with a over the counter lice treatment like rid or quit nits which you can find at your local walmart. after the treatment you should buy a daily shampoo or spray start by using it everyday then every other day then when ever you feel you need to. you can find sprays from ulta and walmart one really good brand is quit nits daily spray also try fairytale spray they both are all natural and don't hold harsh chemicals. after you brush your hair out completely and follow the steps it wont hurt to go through your hair a couple more times. in about 7 days do another over the counter treatment. if your head itches still its time to call the doctor and get it prescripted it helps to have someone else check. wash everything vacuum everything dont share anything stay home for at least 2 weeks and keep everyone away from eachother it may get monatomos but lice are a nusense and have nothing to do with your social status.

If a parasite destroyed most of the trees in the swamp, the community would be severely impacted. Trees provide habitat for a variety of species, help regulate water levels, and play a crucial role in nutrient cycling. The loss of trees would likely lead to disruptions in the ecosystem, affecting the diversity and stability of the community.

Obligate parasites require a host to complete their life cycle and cannot survive without one. Facultative parasites can live either independently or as parasites depending on the environment and conditions.

There are actually many ways to get a parasite. Direct from Host to Host over

airborne infections , oral, fecal-oral, sexual, sexual-oral, contact, vertical (mother to child) or indirect over vectors (mosquitos, fleas, lice...)

Fairy Tales Hair Care has the best Lice Treatment on the market. Its called Lice Goodbye. It is an all natural product that works without using chemicals. It is easy to use and comes with an instructional video which was very very useful!!

Yes, lice can cause itching on the scalp due to the bites and irritations they cause while feeding on blood from the scalp.

The most common parasites in the north American food supply are roundworms. This includes the common roundworm the hookworm the whipworm. The pinworm. The strongyloides stercoralis. It is estimated that 25% of people in the world are infected with roundworms.

Mistletoe, dodder, and witchweed are examples of semi-parasitic plants. These plants have chlorophyll for photosynthesis but also rely on other host plants for water, nutrients, and sometimes physical support.

When animals are infected with parasites, consuming undercooked or raw meat from them can lead to transmission of parasites to humans. Common parasites found in meat include Toxoplasma gondii, Trichinella spiralis, and Taenia solium. Proper cooking and food safety practices can help reduce the risk of parasite transmission from meat.

Liquid or soft stool specimens may be directly examined for for motile parasites (amoeba) within one hour of passage by making a thin eosin saline suspension on a slide and cover slipping it before using a microscope at 400X magnification and reduced light to improve contrast.

Pig muscle can have the infective larva of Trichinella spiralis. Also, pig muscle can have the cysticerci of the pig tapeworm - the adult will live in the intestine, but there will be infective cysts in the muscle.

Woodlice primarily feed on decaying plant material, such as leaves and wood. They obtain moisture from this decaying matter as well as from damp environments they inhabit. Woodlice do not typically drink water separately, as they can absorb it through their bodies from their surroundings.

Here is seven easy ways to avoid parasites.

1) Wash your hands before eating and after using the washroom.

2) Wear gloves when gardening or working with soil or sand because soil can be contaminated with eggs or cysts of parasites.

3) Woman who are pregnant should avoid handling cat litter.

4) Do not allow children to be licked or kissed by pets that are not dewormed regularly.

5) Wash fresh vegetables carefully. Many people get Entamoeba histolytica by eating contaminated raw fruit and vegetables.

6) Avoid eating raw meat, which may contain Giardia lamblia.

7) Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and boots when walking in the woods. In addition, spray insect-repellent on clothing to prevent tick bites.

An intermediate host is an organism in which a parasite undergoes part of its life cycle before moving to a definitive host to complete its development and reproduction. Intermediate hosts are essential for the continued survival and transmission of many parasites, providing an environment where specific developmental stages can take place.

The phylum with the most species that parasitize humans is Platyhelminthes, specifically the class Trematoda (flukes) and the class Cestoda (tapeworms). These parasites can cause diseases such as schistosomiasis and cysticercosis in humans.

The spirochete, Borellia burgdoferi, is the causative agent of Lyme Disease. This is a spiral bacteria . Ticks transfer the spirochetes between warm blooded mammals.

Parasites commonly found on genital hairs include pubic lice (Pthirus pubis) and scabies (Sarcoptes scabiei). Pubic lice are small, crab-like insects that infest coarse body hair, while scabies are microscopic mites that burrow into the skin, causing intense itching and a pimple-like rash. It is important to seek medical treatment if you suspect a parasitic infection on your genital area.

Parasites that can be found in urine include Schistosoma haematobium, which causes schistosomiasis, a disease affecting the urinary tract; Trichomonas vaginalis, a sexually transmitted parasite that can infect the urinary tract; and some species of microsporidia that can cause enteric infections. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment if you suspect a parasitic infection.

Amoebas protect themselves by forming a protective covering or shell called a test. They can also move away from unfavorable conditions or predators using their pseudopods (temporary projections of their cell membrane). Additionally, amoebas have the ability to undergo a process called encystment, where they form a dormant cyst to survive harsh environmental conditions.

No. A parasite is an organism that lives at the expense to and causes harm to another organism. Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are media (singular medium).
No. If the foods might allow pathogenic microorganisms to grow, they are called potentially hazardous.

Parasites typically do not kill their host, as they rely on the host for survival. They adapt to live relatively harmlessly within their host to avoid detection and prolong their stay.

A partial parasite is a type of plant that can photosynthesize but also relies on a host plant for some nutrients or water. It is partially dependent on the host plant for its survival and may have specialized structures for extracting resources from the host. Examples of partial parasites include mistletoe and dodder.
