The only parasitic worms that have seem to have predictably reliable shapes are those appearing in old laboratory photos in textbooks, etc. In real life, inside real mammalian hosts, they have been known to have become shapeshifters from hell. Many papers have been written over the past decade or two describing their newly discovered phenotypic plasticities and polymorphisms, which can really make identification difficult from specimens that have spent time inside hosts and expelled via various chemicals taken to try to get rid of them, which can damage and distort what they look like too.

Xrays generally not, but MRI definitely...... _IF_ they’re looking for parasites. Neurocysticercosis is often diagnosed via brain MRI scans.   [End]

Similar to what I’ve experienced...... herbals pretty much are of little help and almost always result in scattering / dissemination / larval migrans with the exception of pumpkin seeds for intestinal worms only, but pumpkin seeds were only of low level effectiveness and only some of the time. I’m convinced that meds are the only truly effective way to go, but unfortunately so many of the creatures that infect humans this day and age have acquired varying resistance to most of the common anti-helminth drugs, some strains have become completely resistant. Most of the common meds are prett ...

DEC is diethylcarbamazine. It is largely ineffective against flukes. Flukes are trematodes, which are most effectively treated by praziquantel (PZQ), and to a lesser degree of effectiveness nitazoxanide (brand name is Alina don’t know what ir if it even has a common three letter abbreviation like most dewormer meds). However liver flukes (fasciola hepatica and related species) are mostly immune/resistant to PZQ and require triclabendazole instead, which is mostly ineffective against other types of flukes. Are you sure it’s flukes you have? And not maybe some type of large ascaris (ne ...

DEC seems to be working exceptionally well for me now. In combination with mebendazole and occasional ivermectin. . A little background.... I’ve been battling a complicated infection for going on 2 years now. It started with Fasciolopsis Buski..... large intestinal flukes contracted from eating contaminated food at a Thai restaurant in Los Angeles..... at least that’s what manifested the first big obvious signs that started me on this most unwanted adventure in my life. Looking backwards though, I had gotten eaten alive by mosquitoes back in 2018, and thought I may have caught West Nil ...

The places you’ve lived or visited are no longer a defining factor on contracting a parasitic infection anymore in the USA, and doctors just don’t ”get it”. Other people you’ve had contact with, clothing you’ve purchased and worn (also any other textiles you’ve been in contact with such as towels, bedsheets, mattresses, pillows), hotels you’ve stayed in, restaurants you’ve eaten at..... hell even food you’ve purchased at a supermarket and meals you’ve prepared yourself. Insects such as mosquitoes and gnats/biting midges, etc, are all likely vectors for transmission of parasitic infecti ...

Praziquantel eliminated my F. Buski, but the few months I had F. Buski caused me to develop a complicated multi-species hyperinfection of multiple different types, because trematodes secrete the most powerful, broad spectrum immune system modulating enzymes that not only hide the detection of, and the response towards the trematodes.... but also the lesser evolutionarily developed cestodes, nematodes, acanthocephalans, and other helminthic invertebrate parasites. If you get a fluke infection of any species, you must take measures to eliminate it first (and hopefully as soon as discovered) ...

This looks like some type of cutaneous/visceral larva migrans. Probably multiple species in a complex infection. I’ve been battling something that once exhibited similar lesions ongoing now for nearly two years. Yours is looking much more severe than mine got at its worst but I did have one episode where after a too much aggressive treatment of combining praziquantel, fenbendazole and pyrantel pamoate caused such a toxic environment for whatever parasitic worms I have, that they began trying to escape my body by dissolving holes thru my skin to the outside world to die in the air as they ...

It’s not my idea.... it’s the accumulated medical science knowledge of thousands of doctors and scientists.... i.e. established and well known medical fact. Apparently you’re the one who knows little about biochem, molecular biology and it looks like elementary research at all. a simple search on CDC, NIH, Medline, numerous medical and scientific journal websites, etc, will turn up literally hundreds of peer-reviewed papers on the downregulation effects on the immune system by helminth infections.

Helminth infections downregulate the immune system so that the worms become ignored. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3485755/#!po=38.0682 Some helminths, even zoonotic larval stages can live for years, even decades, in the human body and cause devastating damage including cancers, organ destruction, and death.   [End]

This is the same thing that people all over Texas, and the southern US from Florida all the way to California, and as far north as Kansas, Missouri and Iowa have been reporting in increasing number of cases for the past several years now. I’ve been fighting it myself for a year and a half now. I’m dead certain I caught it from contaminated food I ate at an Asian restaurant in Los Angeles California in March of 2019. Nobody knows what the hell it is, the taxonomy isn’t identifiable in any medical or biology texts or internet sources that I’ve been able to find in over a year’s intense sear ...

A stool sample will probably show negative since such tests are pretty much a worthless waste of time and money. You might try to locate an infectious disease doctor who’s familiar with Balisascaris larval migrans and see if you can get a PCR test for that, but based on the typical adversities of seeking help from a human doctor yourself first, you might entertain the thought of taking your dog to a veterinarian who’s knowledgable about Balisascaris infection and get a PCR test for the dog. Something like this test.... https://www.zoologix.com/dogcat/Datasheets/Baylisascaris.htm ...

Yep, looks familiar....... I hypothesize that it may be some type of uncatalogued/undocumented acanthocephalan-like species. Probably not a nematodes or nematomorph at all, but something evolutionarily in between a worm and an arthropod. I think I caught my initial infection from eating at an Asian restaurant in Los Angeles in March 2019.   [End]

Your story is not unfamiliar at all. Doctors in the US generally are totally untrained and unknowledgeable about this kind of thing. Your story sounds like you’ve definitely got some kind of parasite hyperinfection, compounded by visceral larval migrans because the parasites are able to reproduce inside your body in an autoinfectve cycle. I’ve been battling a similar kind of situation for almost two years now. Did you ever eat sushi, or eat food imported from Asia.... like at a restaurant, and a few days later get sick with fever, general all over malaise with arthritis-like, gout-lik ...

Hydrogen peroxide won’t kill Baylisascaris Procyonis (raccoon roundworm eggs (one of the most widespread and dangerous nematode parasites across all of North America). Not even soaking in 6.25% chlorine bleach for an hour will kill them. Only heat (150 degrees F or higher) will kill them. The only parasite worm that if carpet, upholstery, clothing, bedding, etc, gets contaminated with the microscopic eggs, that the CDC’s official soluion for decontamination is literally ”Kill it with fire”, i.e. incinerate contaminated porous materials. 400 of the microscopic eggs will fit onto the head o ...

Unfortunately the image gallery is mostly worthless. There are never any descriptions, identifications, links to possible taxonomy of the creatures, and when you can actually figure out a link to the user’s original text post by manually searching thru their post history, all it ever turns up is ”Can anyone identify this thing? or a ”Me too.... what is it?” post. In essence all the gallery is.... in basically just a collection of gross photos with no associated useful data and that’s all.

The ivermectin expert who formerly worked at Merk admitted in the podcast that she did not know what possible mechanism of action it could likely have against the virus, and didn’t even know why it’s been shown to keep certain species of filarial nemotodes from reinfecting long after it has been completely been excreted, metabolized, gone from the human body. But there was substantial discussion about the concentration levels of ivermectin of the in-vitro tests being (20K times?) the serum level achieved in the human body after a typical anthelminthic oral dose.
