Are parasites so low-status that doctors do not want (even in their own minds) to offend the patients?
BTW, why didn’t the worms show up on the camera? Were they flushed out by the medically-induced diarrhea (but presumably some survived in some other part of the body and then returned back)?
We didn’t get colonoscopies, but some worms are pretty hard to see in stool (hence the insensitivity of the tests), so I think they’re extra hard to see in a completely empty colon. (Can’t find hard data on this.)
As for the survival, these things spread from a couple eggs left in the dry dirt or wherever, so yeah unfortunately 1 day fast usually won’t eliminate an infection I’m pretty sure.
