Re: Need to know best way to kill a worm in the body

Yes I only have mites. I dont have birds. I got them from sitting on the verandah of a house that regularly had wild birds sitting on the patio furniture. It also was not a very clean house and i did now know. I sat there with no shoes on and I had recently had a skin cancer removed on my lower calf, so I think they swarmed me due to the attraction of the wound.

I beleived the doctors who said I had allergies and did not start treating for mites for a whole year.

Is that why you asked if I have birds?

I dont have any other parasites that I know of, but I sure will always wash my fruit from now on , am now terrified of touching dogs or letting them lick me. I also wash my hands a few extra times a day now.

I suggest the anti-nausea medication (stemetil type over the counter at pharmacies) because if you have a high load of parasites the die-off from the Albendazole will make you have a Herx reaction. This is caused by the dead and rotting bodies and bacteria they release. It makes you feel very very nauseous. If your infestation is recent or only one parasite, you may not experience this.

If you do, it will start within days of beginning to take Albendazole. It can last for a few days, go and then start again. I had three rounds of Herxing the last time I took Albendazole.

It could well have been the buttered popcorn that made you nauseous. If you are not used to artificial fats it could have given you a little gall bladder reaction which will make you nauseous.

I am also sure I get the mites in my ears. I can hear a flicking noise in there at first when I take albendazole. It has stopped now. I also get a disgusting smell inside my nose after a few days taking it, but nobody else can smell it. I believe I had mites in my sinuses. YIKES

Other people I know get urinary tract infections and sinus infections within the first week of taking it due to die-off. Some also get
skin breakouts with oozing. If this happens you need to get a course of Bactrim to clear it up, especially out of the small body cavities that do not have good blood supply. It's important to help your body clear up the dead parasites and any bacteria they release.

You may never know which parasites you have. I know it's awful.
Do you think you may have a tapeworm, something big? I guess that would respond to buttered popcorn.

Ask away if I have not covered what you wanted to know.
