If you do this I would recommend taking 3 days between each one, then waiting 2-3 weeks for eggs to hatch, then taking each again. Were you gardening or anything when you first got sick?
Apparently in the US we are too ashamed to say we have “worms” or “parasites”, so instead we say we have “helminths”. Using this keyword makes google work. This article estimates at least 5 million people (possibly far more) in the US have one of 6 considered parasites. Other parasites may also be around. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7847297/
Note the weird symptoms. Blurry vision, headache, respiratory illness, blindness, impaired cognition, fever… Not just IBS and anemia!
Were you gardening or anything when you first got sick?
I was not. I’ve stayed indoors most of my adult life, so I think I’m at lower risk for worms. Hard to say where I could have gotten worms from (assuming it is worms).
Yeah hurts the chances then. Could get something from an unwashed piece of fruit. I think the ones that do spread person-to-person do so via eggs that make your butt itch; the eggs get on the bedsheets then Bob eats an apple in the morning. I’m still like 50⁄50 on the parasite hypothesis
