Re: Tapeworm cyst on the hand
I put 5% lugol's solution on with a paint brush, loads of it and then a bandage be cause it looks bad. I does seem to burn the skin layers but if it gets bad I wait a few days and it peels off leaving smooth lovely skin under it and I start again.
I also can see where the scolex of the varmints attach them self I take a acupuncture needle and put it in where its connected and the iodine runs down the needle into the scolex of the worm it kinda blows up and dies then a new one will hook on and I kill it.
I sure sooner or later the cyst will run out of worms. Its getting way smaller.
I don't recommended the needle thing breaking the integrity of the cyst can cause really bad complications, I just hate it so much I'm willing to take the chance. So far so good but this is only for me, I don't recommend it to others because its dangerous.
Good luck with yours.
I hate these things but I will win, not them.
