Re: trichinella spiralis / trichinosis - castor oil

I have to agree I don't think bigger worms could get under the scalp like that...ah...I know I was eating a lot of pork when I was doing the Atkins diet years ago...big mistake...

Even eat pork this Christmas dinner...my aunts said I was been silly when I told them it was unclean...didn't want to offend their cooking so i eat..


Now how to get rid of these things?

"Muscle biopsy is used for trichinosis detection. Several immunodiagnostic tests are also available. Typically, patients are treated with either mebendazole or albendazole, but efficacy of such products are uncertain. Symptoms can be relieved by use of analgesics and corticosteroids.[1]"

I have both the mebendazole and albendazole.

But why take the chance with my liver when they are not a sure thing.


Ah decisions decisions...

Maybe I should go to the ER and hopefully they'll figure it out before I kill myself with these meds..not intentionally...don't worry..


I have been reading also about this and what I don't understand is why none of the literature reports anyone feelIngs movements in tissue..they say other signs may manifest but don't list them...do they know but just don't list that...they have to know that These things are capable of living in the extremities...

I can't have these things getting bigger in my boobs Got to think of something..
