It is only dangerous if you take a silver bullet approach and try to eliminate them too quickly. Doing so can complicate a delicate situation with a radical herxheimer reaction. If you are afraid, start with half the recommended dose and slowly increase from there.

If you take the recommended dose and don't get any results, take twice the recommended dose. Keep increasing until you start feeling your body detox. It can sometimes take a couple of weeks to see results, especially if you are prone to constipation and have a great big belly. It is important to assist your colon in getting rid of them. Do this and you will likely see results sooner.

I suggest you go to "ask Sutter" and get the whole picture of what you have to do to get rid of parasites and what is causing your illness in the first place. It is much more than just taking the dewormers and killing off the bugs; it is killing off the bugs and then cleaning out the body of the whole darn mess. I don't believe in the detox reaction until the blood starts cleaning out after the liver has been dumped of it's junk. Just about everybody has parasites in this dirty world after being exposed to all the parasite eggs and all the solvents out there. Your symptoms point to parasites and a clogged up liver plus a dirty colon.
Your choice, but I came back from "termial" from a year ago, and the program I mentioned worked for me.

I try to research the side effects for any herb or any other supplements/meds I am ingesting to see what the potential dangers, side effects and recommendations are. Since a lot of parasite remedies have the same herbs (like Wormwood , Black-Walnut , etc) I try to alternate with remedies that have different types of herbs. I used a Chinese herb formula last time which I will do again later on then return to the standard formulas. Along time ago I went with a friend to a Chinese herbalist who was very knowledgeable but I didn’t feel I had any problems at the time so I didn’t think much of it. I can’t seem to find one like that now.

They usually say not to repeat a formula for 30 or 90 days and I'm assuming its because of the type of herbs in the formula that are toxic so you shouldn't keep taking them for long periods of time without a break. I'm on humaworm now and once that runs out I will try something else. One thing that sounds promising is ficin, a fig extract I heard was very effective at dissolving even live worms, but hard to find. I located a pure bottle of it for sale at one site but found out that at that high solution it could have negative side effects, causing albino or white specks on the skin unless you follow a very strict protocol. I see it listed in some online formulas for bromelian with cla in very small amounts so that's what I intend to order. For my next round I am considering the formula below but never heard of most of these ingredients so may have to go with something else. I need to research the ingredients for side effects, etc, that is if I can actually locate any of them them.

Descriiption
This section is from the "Herb Formulas" extract from the "Herbs for Health" book, by Otto Mausert

Formula No. 306: For Tapeworm
1. Bear's Paw Root Extract 6 drachms

Considered a specific for the removal of tapeworm.
2. Mandrake Root Extract 1 1/2 drachms

A valuable worm expeller.
3. Jalap Root 4 drachms

Acts on bowels producing watery stools.
4. Broom Pine Oil 12 drops

Useful in the expulsion of worms.
5. Chloroform 3 drops

Mix well and fill into 6 gelatine capsules equally divided.

Directions: Take one capsule every ten minutes until all are taken. Examine the stools closely and do not forget that the thinnest part bears the head. Doctors generally let the patient fast for a day or two before taking Tapeworm remedies, but this is unnecessary, because the worm being a parasite, cannot be starved. This only makes the patient feel weak and nauseated, and when he finally takes the medicine on a starved stomach, he may throw it up. A far better way from my experience, is to advise the patient to eat, for a day or so, foods the Tapeworm dislikes, such as onions, garlic, pickles and salted fish. This weakens the worm and tends to loosen his grip, so that when the medicine is taken, it acts upon the Tapeworm and causes it to be expelled more easily.
