Yes they are everywhere! LOL...I guess the thing to do is use some strategy in making the body inhospitable to the varmits. I use essential oils of cinnamon and clove and sometimes peppermint or some others on my clothing or I wipe it on my purse. Not straight if you try this, use a damp cloth and put some drops on the damp cloth and wipe it across a part of your clothing like on the hips and waist of your jeans or on your jacket or some other part of your body that way when your in public they will find another host because they will be repelled. And eat the herbs internally or clove that kind of thing I am sure you already do. We can arm ourselves and do regular parasite cleanses. I won't eat cucumbers again unless they are soaked in acv first..lol...My grandparents always used acv in their cucumbers, they knew something the modern world doesn't.
