Re: Parasites might ruin my marriage!! :(

I'm sorry to hear he's not supportive, but you are not responsible for him. Take care of yourself first and foremost and that includes loving yourself and not stressing about his hang ups.

A healthy body can handle a few parasites. It's when the situation is ignored and allowed to fester that it gets out of control and problems start to arise. As long as you are doing everything you can to take care of yourself I wouldn't worry too much about your husband's problems. If you have pets, you should definitely be treating them though. Once you are in a good place physically any parasites he may transfer to you will be handled properly by your immune system and healthy digestive tract. We are always surrounded by parasites. It's unavoidable (eggs in the air, soil, raw veggies and meat). Keep up the maintainence!

Please don't stress your marriage by sleeping in another room or avoiding sex. It will cause more emotional/psychological problems than it will help your physical problems. Stress has a very negative impact on our bodies. Change all the bed linens more frequently and shower after sex. Take care of yourself the way you see fit and let your husband take care of himself the way he sees fit. He may come around eventually if he starts experiencing symptoms. Good luck! Tweet
