Ok long story short...
We have pets and live in an area where theres lots of strays/feral animals.
Our cats have had worms. I found hookworms on my babies bedding!! (cats arent supposed to be on it but one apparently was :(
Baby has no signs of having worms. Cats have been dewormed and I deworm them quarterly. Pediatrician said it was highly unlikley that kids would have got the worms (but I beg to differ). My 4yo always complains of a "scratchy butt" and being a nurse, I check him frequently for any worms but never see any. Im asking for a
parasite screening at his next checkup.
Meanwhile I want info on family safe, easy, gentle, natural herbal
parasite remedies. Nothing that can easily become toxic for children or cause severe stomach upset. Nothing that is very pricey/hard to find. Prefer stuff I can grow in my garden or purchase at grocer.
Was thinking garlic, thyme, mint, sage (I have those in the garden) and psyllium fiber. How to take these? Eating fresh sprigs? How much and how often?
Will these pass through breastmilk to benefit baby aswell?
My husband thinks im nuts so Im kinda guinea piggy-ing myself lol...
If
parasite screening is positive on 4yo im going to try herbal method first.
