This is rope worm. I always see more of them when I drink apple juice, which contains malic acid and is said to cleanse the liver. I was experiencing idiopathic hives since 2008, sometimes so debilitating I couldn't leave the house. No doctor could help me even though I saw some of the better allergists in Boston. I gave up and thought I had to live with it. I thought it was weird that I would suddenly have these at the age of 35 and never before but doctors said allergies come and go. Due to many other developing symptoms, I started parasite cleansing last May and my hives are much better to the point where I only get them once in a while, and only combined with a healing crisis where I'm expelling lots of these ropes. Parastroy, Paragone, have both been effective for me. Plus Apple juice every day. I've been cleansing since May and am still expelling these but my load is so much lighter and I feel like I'm getting to the old stuff now. Fight the good fight ..don't give up!
