I’ve noticed a less arthritis using ivermectin.

3rd world countries without sufficiently clean water for laundry drinking and bathing gain exposure to the worm.

Reminds me of this:

“The Caterpillar” is probably Night Gallery’s most famous episode; and for very good reason. Next time you have an ear ache, I defy you not to think of this episode. And of earwigs.

Is it any worse than ascarids, hook worms or tape worms?

My wife heard someone on a podcast say that if you eat kimchi every day you won’t have parasites.

There is also the folk remedy of a teaspoon of pure gum spirits of turpentine (NOT the stuff you buy at the paint store, but the essential oil) with some sugar. Basically a large dose of Pine Candy. Apparently parasites hate the stuff.
