Parasites are tiny organisms that live and grow inside your body. These organisms can be infections or healthy parts of your body that do not function well on their own.
When a parasite gets too large, it can cause destruction to your body. It can damage your immune system, blood stream, and overall health.
It is important to test for parasites at home because you can do it without professionally testing for them. Home testing is the best way to find out if you have parasites because you will be able to do it at home without help.
There are several ways to test for parasites at home. This article will discuss some of these ways. There are also specialized websites that offer home parasite testing services, which this article does not cover.

Purchase a bottle of ground ginger
A gingerroot is a type of parsnip, and ginger parsnip is named that way because it has a peppery taste that adds flavor to sauces and foods.
Ginger is a natural antibacterial, making great prey for parasites. When you buy a bottle of ginger, it usually includes some type of parasite.
There are several ways to test for parasites. You can buy a poisonous plant like stinging nettles, or you can buy a human-grade ground ginger. Either way, you must use very special care when handling the ground ginger, or it will be extremely efficacious against your body.
When testing for parasites in the home, first make sure you have a clean place to work! Then, use one full strength ground ginger for two days, then an additional day of only ground ginger. Finally, check your results the next day to see if your Parasites were removed.
Purchase a bottle of ground cloves
This is an easy way to test for parasites at home. All you need to do is buy a tube of clove oil and then examine your pets for signs of parasites.
Clove oil works by breaking down the outer layer of the skin, or exteriors. This allows it to contact and interact with internal organs, tissues, and other chemicals. When applied on the outside of the pet, this helps find and treat internal infections such as worms or heartworm.
When measuring your dogs heartworm count using this method, keep in mind that this will not work on kittens as they have not yet developed a shell around their heart. This also does not work on small animals such as mice or rats, who may have worms or heartworm in their skin.
Mix equal parts of all four ingredients
In a large bowl, combine coconut palm sugar, water, and activated charcoal. Add the mixture to your home as a last resort. Parasites are very difficult to detect in the water supply.
If you do have a parasite in your household, you can mix together some of its four main components to try and get rid local treatment access. Local treatment is the best option for this type of parasite as it can be handled and administered by the person or company that supervises it every day.
Generally speaking, parasites that prey on other living organisms are more harmful. These may include nutritional deficiencies that affect the human host’s immune system or those that cause chronic irritation within their host. Nutritional deficiencies can also cause symptoms similar to parasitic infestations such as inflammation and pain.
Take this mixture and make a paste with it
As soon as you touch your skin to the wall, an invisible line called a electromagnetic field emerges between you and the wall. This field creates a protected space for your body to move through, and consequently, test for parasites at home.
This field is created when bacteria gain enough concentration in the area by interacting with your skin. They then transport this DNA into your surrounding environment, where it can be tested for.
It is very important to note that this field does not work every time. If you are sure your home has been protected from parasites by this barrier then you do not need to test for them!
Instead of using a parasite detection product, you can make your own paste at home.
Apply the paste to your skin near the stomach
When you are at your most vulnerable, such as during a bathroom break or when you need to get out of bed, apply the paste to your skin around the kidneys and walk away.
This is because your body can detect and respond to certain parasites in water, which is especially concerning when it is done at home.
Some parasites cannot be detected in water but are passed in food, so check both!
You may also find it more convenient to test your dog at home instead of at a vet, because at home you have more control over the testing materials and conditions.
Wait at least 30 minutes
Before you try to test your dog for parasites, you should make sure that the time policy for the facility where your dog is normally housed has been followed.
Most animal shelters and humane societies have a rule that you must be present when your dog is tested for parasites, or else you will be given a penalty.
This can be difficult to find out in advance, as the rule is not always made known until it is too late. Therefore, we suggest that you wait until after your dog has passed through the test before taking them home, or if you are having trouble passing the test yourself.
If your dog does not pass the test, then you can take them back to the shelter to go home! It is very important to know when a dogs parasites have been treated, because this can help prevent another issue from happening.
If your dog has already been tested at another facility, then we recommend having them come in again until they pass this new test.
Wash off the mixture
Once you have your puppy, it is time to look for signs of parasites. Parasites are small creatures that can live and/or thrive in your dog.
They can either be blood parasite, such as malaria, or non-blood parasite, such as hookworm. Either can be livable or non-livable in your dog.
Washing your dog off the parasites is called removing them from the house and changing its diet to manage them. This is done by attending a pet shop or a veterinary surgeon and receiving a course of drug treatment.
The course of medication can be six to eight weeks, although it takes some dogs longer so watch out! Once this has been done, the new diet is to get rid of all food except water for seven days and then switch over to the usual one.
Look at your skin under bright light
When you suspect a parasite is living on your body, there are several places to look for evidence of its presence.
You can check your skin under a microscope to see if it has parasite eggs, larvae, or eggs. You can also use a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to see if there is an organelles such as vacuoles orocysts, which are the living parasites.
You can also check for trace amounts of parasites in your water and food. If you notice any unusual behavior such as more frequent trips to the bathroom or worse hair loss, then you must seek medical attention.
Look for signs of worms, echinoderms, or mites on yourself at home. You may have them in your house but they may be hiding under furniture or beds where you do not look for years. Or they may be underground where you do not search for years!
If you find any of these signs at home, go outside and tell someone because nobody knows what happens inside a home. Home Parasite Testing is not covered by most insurance plans so it is important to find this treatment somewhere close by.
