I havent heard of the folicle thing, but it could be parasite related. It just seems to take awhile to kill parasites and you may just want to keep trying with rotating meds/herbs and double up on the cloves for the eggs, ive been fighting them awhile too, i feel your frustration. Have u seen any fluke worms ? They can be tough. Have you tried any pour on meds? Theres one called closamectin i want to try. I have scattered infect and my back muscles are being ate up. So i understand the muscle weakness too. Did u take a look at mattk3's protocol with the piperazine?
