Re: Does fasting make parasites worse? Worm crawled out of my aunt's nose

that would be typical for ascaris, and they may leave when upset by something. Keep in mind that lack of food is not the only reason (if it is a reason at all!) that they may show up in a nose or in mouth. And even then, rest assured that they've left behind plenty of eggs to hatch as soon as things are back to normal. Hence I would neither connect the lack of food with Ascaris departure, nor would I conclude from that that lack of food is a good thing when trying to get rid of parasites.

Also, most big parasites carry small ones, or in famous words of Edgar Cayce "Even parasites have their parasites".
