In the spring of 2013 I decided to try walking barefoot in my yard. It is called
Earthing on some health sites. After a few months I felt wiggling in my bottom. I knew right away what it was because my 3 children had pinworms as youngsters. Decided to just try eating garlic to get rid of them. In July 2013 I felt wiggling in my nose. That sent me to the Doctor
real fast.She gave me 200 MG tablets of Albenza. It did help, but not entirely. I told her I still felt the wiggling & she orderd a stool test.It did not show any worms. I've been told that these tests are not always accurate.
Doctors have not been taught how to deal with this problem.
I believe what I have is Threadworms.
Well that doesn't sound good!
There are a lot of treatments you can try at home to see what helps for you...
Thinks I've tried include ACV, garlic , garlic capsules, wormwood, DE, Pin X, Reese's ...And I'm still trying things
Breeze so you are still not rid of them?
i get a lot of itching and tickling in my ears fen in the outer ear, although when I check I can't see anything there...
Hi patricia
If you have threadworms it is likely that you have the enterobius type which aren't caught by walking barefoot on soil. Threadworms are hightly contagious and unsuspecting infected people may be asymtomatic and therefore you would possiby pick them up from door handles, eating unwashed salads, public seats and the list goes on.
I have been taking clove capsules, horsetail capsules, horsetail grass capsules, white oak bark capsules and especially stinging nettle capsules with a considerable amount of lessening of the symptoms and days when I hardly notice them at all, although for the present they are still about.
I noticed a downturn in the irritation and the white flakes in my knickers when I started drinking nettle tea hence I added that to my daily regime of capsules. I am continuing to improve but slowly, I am grateful for anything that eases the itchy/bitey sensation.
If you try these hers please understand that YOU MUST TAKE THEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 13 WEEKS, don't give up or you will go back to the beginning, and if it takes longer than 13 weeks well who cares if you eventually get rid of the.
Parasites are tenacious and have survived for thousands of years so give them some respect and keep up the battle but don't chop and change your routine.
Everyone is looking for a quick fix and I'm afraid there isn't one.
Good luck.
No, I don't think so. I feel crawling around my vagina and anus so they must still be there.
And now I believe they have even caused a yeast infection...
Goodness I'm so sorry, pregnancy is hard time as it is without worms. Hang in there
Hello,
I'm a 86 year old widow lady. My health is not great & I live alone.
Afraid to try most online medicine but I do eat one fourth cup of pumpkin seeds and they do seem to help. Also grated carrot & pineapple. I have never seen a live worm but do see white spots in my nose & when I put my finger in my ears I sometimes bring out a small white dot, also white dots from my eyes. I see tiny spots on the toilet seat after a bowel movement. I have read online that the bodies
of healthy people can reject parasites.
Dear Patricia,
not sure if anyone can reject parasites, I'm young and healthy, but am struggling to shift the infection. Have you ever seem them in your bowel movements? That's how I spotted them in my son, as he always denied itchiness. Yes I agree pumpkin seeds help reduce the symptoms but they will not get rid of worms completely. Try mebendazole and perhaps family could help you thoroughly clean the house a couple of times a week, should be easier to get rid of then since you live alone, much harder in a big family where it goes round and round in circles and everyone infects everyone.
they insist strongyloides are rare in this country but enterobius should not be able to migrate and penetrate organs but I have them in my ears and a few weeks ago did have them in my eyes too... So jot sure...no one seems to have any answers
Thanks, it really is depressing!!
The hatched worms do migrate over the outside of your body and although you may not feel it they will invade your nose, the sleep in your eyes, your ears and your scalp and then begin to itch.
OH MY!!
My scalp has been itching for a long time,
Thought I had a bad case of dandruff and have been using Nizoral
shampoo.
Only helps a little.
That could only happen if you constantly touch your head and face with dirty hands
Not so. The hatchlings migrate (crawl) all over your body. You may experience a little itch or perhaps something that feels like a nip that is the little blighters crawling over your skin.
It has nothing to do with dirty hands, they can move over the body, although I've yet so see anything actually when looked at on material under a magnifying glass, but somehow they do and can cause severe itching anywhere.
Crawl from your anus up to your scalp through all the clothes?
Yep sorry to tell you this but that it is a fact.
If you are only itching on your bumhole then you are lucky and yes they crawl under your clothes on your skin and on your clothes and drive you potty.
I found a shampoo and conditioner that seems to really work great. Quench. Coconut H20 + (Electrolytes) by Proganix. I have been able to find it at CVS and Target. It keeps my head from itching and stops the crawling sensations. I have tried soooo many different things and this works for me, I hope maybe it will help someone else. I have had Strongyloides for over 2 years. They get better but I can never seem to completely get rid of them. Still trying...
Hi Balmpot,
It's been a long time since I've read your posts.
Did you at one time say you could see eggs on your eye glasses?
i'm seeing cell shaped spots on my glasses, also see them on my black velvet slippers.
I use my vacuum sweeper on my slippers & the next few days they are back again.
Ask your doctor for Flagystatin ovules for both yeast and bacterial, as they can cause both and watch for bladder infections too.
