Threadworm infection is an intestinal disease, which occasionally spreads to the skin, [stomach, spleen, and appendix] caused by a type of parasitic roundworm (helminth). In untreated patients, the disease has a high rate of reinfection caused by worms already present in the body. This type of disease recurrence is called autoinfection. Because of autoinfection, threadworms can remain inside humans for as long as 45 years [or death] after the initial infestation. .... also called strongyloidiasis, occurs in most countries of the world but is natural to (endemic in) tropical and subtropical climates. Strongyloidiasis is less common than other parasitic infections but may affect as much as 25% of the population in some developing countries. In the United States, threadworm infection is most likely to be found among immigrants; returning travelers or military personnel; people who live in parts of Appalachia and the southeastern states; and persons in homes for the retarded and similar institutions. ... Threadworm infection is caused by Strongyloides stercoralis, a roundworm that lives in soil and can survive there for several generations. Mature threadworms may grow as long as 1-2 in (2.5-5 cm). The larvae have two stages in their life cycle: a rod-shaped (rhabdoid) first stage, which is not infective; and a threadlike (filariform) stage, in which the larvae can penetrate intact human skin and internal tissues. The infection is most commonly transmitted when a person comes into contact--usually by walking barefoot--with soil containing S. stercoralis larvae in their filariform stage. The threadlike larvae penetrate the skin, enter the lymphatic system, and are carried by the blood to the lungs. Once in the lungs, the larvae burst out of the capillaries into the patient's main respiratory system. They migrate upwards--usually without symptoms--to the patient's throat, where they are swallowed and carried down into the digestive tract. The filariform larvae settle in the small intestine. They mature into adults that deposit eggs that hatch--usually in the intestines-- into noninfectious rhabdoid larvae. The rhabdoid larvae then migrate into the patient's large intestine and are excreted in the feces. The time from initial penetration of the skin to excretion is 17-28 days. The rhabdoid larvae metamorphose into the infective filariform stage in the soil. ... The filariform larvae usually enter the body through the skin of the feet [or hands and fingers -- gardening]. There may be swelling, itching, and hives at the point of entry that may be confused with insect bites. Patients with chronic threadworm infection may also develop an itchy rash on their buttocks, thighs, or abdomen. [symptoms] Although some patients may notice only mild diarrhea and cramps, others may have fever, nausea, vomiting, general weakness, and blood or mucus in their stools. The pain may mimic a stomach ulcer. When the larvae migrate to the lungs and air passages, the patient may have symptoms ranging from a simple dry cough to fever, difficulty breathing, and coughing up blood or pus. Hyperinfection syndrome is a potentially fatal set of complications resulting from the spread of filariform larvae to the lungs and other organ systems. It can include inflammation of the heart tissue, stomach ulcers, perforation of the intestines, blood poisoning, meningitis, shock, and eventual death. Hyperinfection syndrome is most likely to occur in patients with immune disorders or malnutrition, or in those taking anti-inflammatory corticosteroid (anti-inflammatory) medications. ... [heavy metals toxicity, FUIRERIAs] The larvae may be found in fresh stool specimens or in mucus coughed up when the infection has reached the lungs [but are NOT usually looked for in these tests!]. Because the larvae cannot be detected in the stools of 25% of infected patients, the string test is often performed to confirm the diagnosis. In this test, the patient swallows a weighted string which is withdrawn after four hours. The digestive juices absorbed by the string are then examined for the presence of threadworm larvae. Doctors can also use blood tests and diagnostic imaging [if you can find one who is not afraid of Your intelligence or the bullying of the dumb down medical system] to support the diagnosis. Between 85% and 95% of patients with threadworm infections will have a measurable level of antibodies in their blood, even though these antibodies do not prevent the disease from spreading. In addition, patients with severe infections often have unusually high levels of white cells in their blood. X rays of the intestines or the chest often help in locating specific areas of inflamed or ulcerated tissue [although x-rays are frequently misread, especially when the technician has no training in detecting parasite masses]. Threadworm infections are treated with medications [and severe herbal remedies]. The drugs most often given are ivermectin, thiabendazole (Mintezol), and albendazole. Ivermectin is generally preferred because it has fewer side effects than thiabendazole. These drugs, which are taken by mouth over a period of two to seven days, work by preventing the development of eggs and new larvae. Patients with severe infections should be given protein replacement, blood transfusions, [protein diet, iron supplement], and fluids to replace losses from nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Patients who are taking corticosteroids should be carefully evaluated if they have symptoms of threadworm infection, because these medications encourage the development of hyperinfection syndrome. Corticosteroid are a class of drugs based on hormones formed in the adrenal gland, used to reduce inflammation [including some of the skin blotching that may indicate the presence of threadworms]. 2 http://www.combantrin.com.au/htm/how_get.htm How do you get Worms? .... threadworm - the most common human worm in Australia & New Zealand. Threadworm is highly contagious .... There are two main ways you can catch threadworm: 1. . DIRECTLY - through contact with an infected person 2. . INDIRECTLY - through touching a surface such as a tap, door handle, or item such as a pencil, linen or furnishings that have been contaminated by an infected person. Threadworm Lifecycle You can be infected with threadworm no matter how clean or careful you are. It takes one month on average for a swallowed egg to grow into an adult worm & reproduce. Adult worms survive for about two months. For definitive proof of threadworm infection, look for the following: * Worms on the outside surface of bowel motions - these resemble fine pieces of cotton thread, up to 1.5cm long. For further information, including pictures of actual threadworm, see Facts about Worms. * Moving worms or eggs around the anus - about an hour after the child has gone to bed. Using a torch, worms should be visible to the naked eye, however a useful way of detecting eggs is the " sticky tape test " . Press a piece of double sided tape against the anus & remove - threadworm eggs will appear as tiny white specs on the tape. Occasionally, " abnormal migration " of threadworm may occur in girls - this is where female worms leave the anus & enter the vagina. This can lead to vulvovaginitis - inflammation of the vaginal area - with symptoms being extreme irritation & vaginal discharge. Threadworm-induced vulvovaginitis is not considered a major health threat, as worms will survive for only a limited time in this region. ... 3 http://www.tennesseemeatgoats.com/articles/Feb04licestworms.htm STOMACH WORMS AND LICE Onion Creek Ranch, Published in: Goat Rancher magazine Author: Suzanne Gasparotto, OnionCreek HC 70, Box 70, Lohn, Texas, 76852 325-344-5775 [Parts of the original article are included for the suggestion of a parallel to humans, which is not an intended and voiced consideration of the author. Wisdom, gathered from experience and challenge, is sometimes transferable, in part, to a related species.] Why are stomach worms such a big problem to goats? Goats of all breeds are more susceptible to stomach worms than other species of ruminants. No breed of goats is worm resistant. Goats need a small number of worms to stimulate the immune system so that they can tolerate some level of worm load. The producer's challenge is raise goats that are worm tolerant. How to achieve that goal is the purpose of this article. ... The frequent transport of goats to different geographic and climatic locations has challenged their ability to adapt to new surroundings. Goats that were raised in dry, hot West Texas need months -- more likely, years -- to adapt to the heavy rainfall of Mississippi. People don't adapt to such changes quickly, and we live in houses and have many creature comforts. Why should we expect animals who live outside in the extremes of weather to readily adapt to dramatically new and different living conditions? ... Deworming alone cannot solve the stomach-worm problem. Putting goats back on the same land after deworming will result in re-infection and a decline in effectiveness of deworming medications. Management conditions must change to permit rotational foraging/browsing. Goats must be moved to a new area at least once every three weeks (the life cycle of a stomach worm); at least three and preferably four paddocks are needed so that goats are not returned to the original pasture too quickly. Even this arrangement is no guarantee of manageable wormloads. Overcrowding and uncleanliness are the main reasons for worms and coccidiosis in managed herds. The goat's natural habitat is free range browsing/foraging over many acres per day, eating from the top down, creating a browse line -- like deer. This method keeps goats from eating on or close to the ground, coming into contact with weeds, leaves, grasses, and goat pills that are worm infected. Few worm larvae can reach plant heights that goats prefer to browse. Plants growing close to the ground tend to have a texture that is unpalatable to goats. Goats will forage/browse elsewhere unless their choices have been limited by drought or overuse of the land. Goats permitted the freedom to forage over large areas are far less likely to become infected with heavy wormloads and far more able to develop a tolerance for stomach worms. This should be a major goal of every goat producer. Don't try to make a foraging/browsing species become grazers. ... There is no easy way to raise goats. If the procedure is not labor intensive, be assured that it is not likely to work well. This is especially true of feed-based dewormers. The goat who most needs deworming is the same timid animal who is least likely to get a fair share of the de-wormer-treated feed. Individually orally dosing each goat is the only way to get proper dewormer levels in each animal. ... Don't assume that colder or dryer weather means less worm problems. While worm larvae survive about two months in a hot summer, they can live up to six months over winter. In the south central and southeastern parts of the United States, Haemonchus contortus (barberpole or stomach worm) is a huge problem. Worm eggs hatch in goat feces ( " pills " ). Two inches of rain will dissolve a goat pill and release the infective larvae to crawl up vegetation, waiting for goats to eat them. Moisture as light as morning dew is enough for larvae to reach the tips of plants. Dangerous in summer, Haemonchus contortus becomes a silent killer during winter. Once eaten by goats, larvae either develop into adult worms in about three weeks or enter a state of hibernation called hypobiosis. While in hypobiosis, worms don't eat, grow, or show any signs of life until conditions trigger the completion of their life cycle. Pregnant does are particularly susceptible to this stomach worm. Hibernating worm larvae come to life right before a doe is ready to give birth (freshen). They begin laying eggs in anticipation of her newborn kids' eating them when the kids begin to consume solid food around three weeks of age. Stomach worms are blood suckers. When a goat is carrying a heavy wormload, protein and blood cells are removed faster than the goat's body can rebuild them. " Wormy " goats will eat continually and still lose weight. If the producer doesn't take action, anemia and death will result. Worm infestation must be diagnosed and cured early on. It doesn't take very long for a goat to become so anemic that saving its life is not possible. ... Wormloads in pastures can be reduced by grazing cattle or horses in rotation behind goats. Don't use sheep; they are susceptible to the same worms as goats. Tilling, planting, and harvesting small-grain crops also reduces pasture parasites. [Relative to human food crops, very little crop rotation has been used on farms in North America since 1960.] All types of worms are year-around problems. Orally drenching with dewormers during winter will help kill hibernating larvae before they become active when kidding begins. Deworming kids at one month of age is critical; they are beginning to develop their own immune systems and are rapidly losing any protection previously given them by their mother. .... Stomach worms are very adept at mutating, becoming more resistant to all dewormers currently on the market. Every goat brought onto your property brings with it resistant worm offspring that are different from those already on your land and in your animals. When a producer finds a dewormer that works, stay with it until fecal counts indicate problems. Rotating medications makes worms more resistant to all classes of dewormers. Establish a regularly-scheduled deworming program and rely heavily on fecal testing. Do not skimp on dosages. The value of one dead goat exceeds the cost of any dewormer. .... 2) Benzimidazoles. The " white " dewormers. Valbazen, Safeguard/Panacur, Synanthic, Telmin, Benzelmin, Anthelcide, TBZ. Effective against tapeworm. Do not treat pregnant does with Valbazen; it can cause abortions. ... .... encysted worms. Worms can be both freefloating and embedded (encysted) in the stomach walls of heavily-wormy (carrying a heavy wormload) goats. Encysted (embedded) worms do not show up in fecal examinations because they are still inside the goat. Oral deworming kills the freefloaters but does not affect those worms encysted in the stomach lining. Once the freefloating worms are gone, the embedded worms become freefloating to feast on stomach contents. As worms multiply, crowding causes some of them to embed in the walls. At this point, the goat is getting weak, bottlejaw (subcutaneous fluid retention in a pocket of skin underneath the chin -- an indication that a very bad wormload has led to anemia) appears, and the goat's survival is at risk .... Deworm all pregnant does one week before the first doe is expected to kid. Remember: do not use Valbazen or Tramisol on pregnant does. Deworm everyone in a given pen or pasture. Goats will be sloughing worm-infected feces for 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Rotate them to a fresh pen or pasture 24 to 48 hours after deworming. Mow areas of vegetation that goats won't eat so that exposure to the sun can kill worm larvae. .... Too many goats on not enough land means no rotational foraging is possible. Couple this with heavy annual rainfall rates and pasture rather than browse conditions and goats are not going to survive much less thrive. Trying to depend on dewormers to do the job will only result in breeding weak goats. If your circumstances are similar to this, consider rethinking your business plan. Goats may not be what you should be raising. Just because a person wants to raise a specific crop does not make it doable. Crops, including livestock, are specific to certain land and climatic conditions. Wanting to raise alfalfa in a desert without irrigation is not possible -- no matter how much a person wants to do it. Raising goats under unfavorable conditions is no different. 4 http://www.combantrin.com.au/htm/facts.htm What do Threadworm look like? Threadworm draw their name from their appearance - they actually resemble fine pieces of cotton thread, with adult worms varying in length up to 1.5cms (females). The most common way of diagnosing a threadworm infection is to look for eggs deposited around the anus on the perianal skin. These resemble fine white specks & are best detected at night, when the female worm emerges from the anus to lay them. Whilst poor hygiene habits can contribute to the spread of threadworm once you have contracted it, catching threadworm can be as simple as breathing in airborne eggs - it doesn't matter how clean you are. It is true that threadworm are more commonly associated with young children. This is basically because of their close social interaction & generally less entrenched patterns of personal hygiene (hand washing etc.) which contribute to rapid transfer of the infection. However, threadworm are highly contagious. If suspected, ALL household members - including Mum & Dad - should be treated at the same time. Worming products work only on the adult worms present in the intestine at the time the medicine is taken. This is why it is so important to give your home a thorough clean after treatment, to kill any remaining eggs & help prevent reinfestation. [This is also why rental accommodations are often contaminated and become a source of infection.] Threadworm are human host specific - that is, they will not survive in the intestine of household pets, therefore dogs & cats cannot be part of the threadworm lifecycle. However, the possibility of contracting threadworm from eggs stuck to the fur of cats & dogs should not be overlooked. Whilst domestic pets do not play a large role in the transfer of threadworm to humans, you should be aware that other types of worms can be caught from your pets. Animals can have their own form of " animal specific " roundworm, hookworm & whipworm. Roundworm eggs, & hookworm larvae found in animal excretia can readily infest humans - particularly children, who are more inclined to come in contact with them in play areas such as parks & sandpits [and these may appear to be mutated threadworms which are not detected as " human " threadworms]. If left untreated, humans infected with roundworm eggs or hookworm larvae from animals can develop " larva migrans " syndrome, which can have quite serious consequences such as epilepsy, spinal cord damage, liver disorders - even blindness. ... the hydatid tapeworm. Dogs are the main hosts of this tiny worm. If humans swallow their eggs, they can develop potentially fatal cysts which must be surgically removed. [Granulomas are tumor-like masses that encase destroyed larva or parasites. They can cause intestinal or colon blockage either directly or by exerting pressure from outside the canal. They can influence organ dysfunction also by imposing external pressure.] 5 http://www.genhealth.com/vitaklenz.htm Vitaklenz Recent figures taken indicate that 90% of all adults in the United States host some form of parasitic organism at any one time. " I find parasites in 92% of people. Everybody - rich and poor - the whole population have parasites . . . Pets are great carriers of parasites. Also, vegetables may carry parasitic organisms. " Dr. William Kelly, famous cancer specialist. " One of every four people in the world is infected with roundworms, which cause fever, cough and intestinal problems. A quarter of the world's people have hookworms, which can cause anaemia and abdominal pain. Another third of a billion people suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhoea caused by whipworms.

Note: Pneumocystis carinii, while mentioned in many parasitological texts, is now conventionally identified as a fungus. Intestinal Nematodes: Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, Trichuris trichiura (larvae can be in the lungs); Hookworms: Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, Strongyloides stercoralis ; Filarial Nematodes: Wuchereria bancrofti, Onchocerca volvulus; [Can be in the blood, lymph, or tumors] Nematodes from Other Body Sites: Trichinella spiralis - Larvae in Muscle (Section and Muscle Press) Zoonotic Nematodes: Syphacia obvelata, Ancylostoma brasiliense, Dirofilaria immitis, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, Capillaria hepatica; Intestinal Flukes: Fasciolopsis buski; Tissue Flukes: Fasciola hepatica, Fasciola gigantica, Clonorchis sinensis, Paragonimus westermani, Schistosomes: Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma haemtobium, Schistosoma japonicum, Zoonotic Flukes: Echinostoma sp., Heterophyes heterophyes, Intestinal Tapeworms: Taenia spp., Taenia saginata Gravid Proglottid, Taenia solium, Cysticercus - Whole and in section of Muscle (H & E), Diphyllobothrium latum, Hymenolepis diminuta, Hymenolepis nana, Dipylidium caninum, Tissue Tapeworms: Echinococcus granulosus, Spargana in section of muscle (H & E) and Others .... Parasitic nematodes tend to be a little larger than their free-living cousins (growing up 1 metre in length in some cases !), as they have fewer predators to worry about and an ample supply of food. Nematodes can be thought of as the " least parasitic " of all the worms, that is to say, they have changed the least since their ancestors decided to set up shop inside other animals (unlike the tapeworms, for which there are no free-living examples). Some species of parasitic roundworms still live a certain amount of their life-cycles outside of the host as free-living soil nematodes. Nematodes have two sexes, although some species may reproduce through parthenogenesis. Enterobius vermicularis (ent-er-ROE-bee-uss ver-MICK-you-LAR-iss) is thought to be the most common intestinal worm in the world. It is said that everyone in the world has either had threadworm infection, has it now, or will have it in the future. The range of Enterobius stretches from the tropics to the Arctic Circle and across all socio-economic groups. Threadworm is more common in children. Threadworms are small white worms, just under 1cm long - as the name suggests, they resemble small pieces of white cotton thread. The worms live in the upper parts of the large intestine and in the appendix, feeding on intestinal contents. When the females have mated, instead of laying their eggs into the faeces and abandoning them to the whims of fate, they migrate down the colon, out of the rectum and lay their eggs on the perianal skin. This causes the most common symptom associated with threadworm infection (itchy bum). Naturally, if one scratches the area, the eggs are transferred to the hands and then swallowed the next time the fingers are placed in the mouth, thus starting a new infection. The symptoms of threadworm infection are usually mild. Only 25% of people show any sign of the worms at all. As well as the itchiness, afflicted people may experience nausea, intestinal upset and disturbed sleep patterns. Rarely, the female worms get lost while laying their eggs and they may wander places they shouldn't. If a worm migrates up the female genital tract, complications may arise as the body launches an attack against it. Threadworms have also been found in the liver, lungs and ears, although it's not at all clear how they got there (likely by finger transfer). ... There has been some speculation as to whether threadworms are a cause of appendicitis, although it is difficult to be sure, as the worms may also be found in healthy appendices [pronounced inflammation of an organ may depend upon quantity and permanence of infestation]. Threadworms MAY be easily treated using common worming treatments [iF diagnosis is timely, and, treatment is begun Early], although the eggs may survive in the environment for a while, posing a risk for reinfection. Because threadworm eggs are not laid into the intestine, normal faecal screening will NOT diagnose an infection. Therefore a specialised test must be performed to confirm diagnosis: a piece of clear sticky tape is pressed against the perianal skin and then placed on a microscope slide for examination. If eggs were present on the perianal skin, they should be visible on the sticky tape. This is NOT a commonly performed procedure - most doctors diagnose the condition on symptoms alone. ... Strongyloides stercoralis (STRON-jih-LOY-dees STIR-cor-AH-liss) is also known as threadworm in some American texts, although we'll name it Strongyloides to save confusion. Very little was known about this worm until recently. It was first described in French soldiers returning from Indo-China late last century, but the incidence was so rare as to not warrant any further attention. However, with the increasing awareness of immunosuppression, Strongyloides is becoming more important. Strongyloides is an opportunistic pathogen, which does not normally maintain an infection for long in humans. In fact, this worm can live quite happily in the soil without ever coming into contact with a human host. Adult females (the males do not infect humans) live in the small intestine, feeding on cells and intestinal contents. They produce eggs by parthenogenesis which hatch soon after laying. The larvae are passed out with the faeces (therefore the larva, not the egg, is the diagnostic stage) and go into the soil. From here they can either form infective larvae, which infect humans by the route as hookworms, or they can mature in the soil and undergo a number of generations as free-living nematodes, before forming the infective larvae. The males are only found in the soil. Strongyloides does not normally cause problems in immunocompetent hosts. However, if the host's immune system is depressed for any reason, the nematodes made produce what is known as a hyperinfection syndrome, where they virtually infect every part of the body. ... COMMENT The above is a collection of a FEW details to afford an awareness and appreciation of this form of parasite. There are many species which share background, life cycle, pathology, symptoms, and treatment and differ only by name and location. The above are examples of common patterns. There are MANY more resources in libraries and on the Internet which you can review if you have further interest. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Hopefully, YOUR experience will progress in a more proactive, preventive, informed and understood manner, and, with professional clinicians, than mine did. The information on these pages Will help. It is here because NONE of the doctors, nor alternative practitioners I went to over an 8 year period knew ANY of these details --- and most were not interested in learning about them. For FOUR years, during which a systemic illness developed, encouraged by heavy metals poisoning sanctioned by the North American dental and medical associations, I increasingly suspected the development of cysts/tumors in my abdomen, lungs, and lymph systems. I questioned this possibility to doctors and therapists repeatedly with the hope of effective diagnosis and surgery, if required. On a number of occasions, in near desperation, only Spiritual Guidance stopped me from attempting the surgery on myself. Not ONE so-called medical specialist aggressively sought a solution. Most looked for a way to rule out their specialty, and involvement [passing the buck]. It may take a decade or longer for you to die of gradual and progressive organ failure, which will be ruled a " normal " death, UNLESS, you take aggressive, preventive and proactive measures, OR, learn and follow accurate access to Spiritual Guidance. When the Evidence was Obvious, I used MANY heavy duty anti-parasitic herbal combinations AND drugs ... for 19 months! This included one-use remedies which were used almost a dozen times. Use of any herbal preparation proved functional for only 6 weeks or less, by which time the worms had mutated to a resistant variety. Detoxification from a systemic illness condition also resulted in WAVES of threadworm incidences. Some occurred within hours of the last intestinal purge; others, took weeks to appear. They are only killed in the intestines. IF your lymph is clogged, you cannot drive them out of your organs to your intestines. The more you clear your lymph, the faster they can be purged from your organs. TIMING is significant. Too much, too fast, will overtoxify your blood and depress your immune and other systems more. The tenderness and hard bulge above my belly button was an almost total blockage of the cisterna chyli, the MAIN lymphatic system drainage point. The daily recurrent blockage of my colon, forward of my left side, below the rib cage, was the result of a pain-free enlarged spleen, engorged with parasites. My constant fatigue and feeling of lack of oxygen was the result of parasite riddled lungs. My 13 month long regurgitation of mucous, especially during the night, was the result of an infestation in my stomach! The ringworm-like patches along by bladder meridian, on either side of my pubis, and in my right armpit --- indicated parasite infestation in my lymph. NONE of the above developing parasitic infestations could be effectively controlled and eradicated until I had removed the source of my mercury toxicity, which the medical-dental practitioners denied the existance or possibility for 3 years, and, the severely infected rear molar, which dentists had repeatedly missed in their assessment for a period of 18 months. In EVERY case, I had to INSIST that the practitioner REMOVE teeth to find the problem. On the other medical diagnoses, the experts refused to listen --- resulting in longer, more personally costly, more social loss of my skills, and more self-education and personal and political awareness. GLOBALIZATION: While many species of parasite are restricted to a specific geographical location, there is a frequent interchange of business and recreational travelers between these and most other regions. What is picked up in one location by a host will be preserved by the internal environment of that host in another foreign and even hostile external environment, until it is terminated. Digestive elimination of stool in other locations will, in some cases, contribute to the spread of the species. This has happened many times before and of a relative frequency connected to the numbers of persons and amount of traffic occurring internationally. Most flu viruses originate in China. They are often experienced worldwide within weeks of the initial outbreak. PRECAUTIONS, as with other parasites, include NOT walking barefoot and not swimming in contaminated waters. Ensure that all raw vegetables are washed in uncontaminated water as they may carry infected soil or dust, especially if they have been organically grown. In larger scale agricultural operations, green fertilizer (manure) is usually " cleansed " through fermentation in a storage pile or stack, mixed with straw or other compost. This is often an excluded or minimized step in smaller plot use. CERTAINTY: Urbanized supply of foods in supermarkets or in restaurants and through fast food outlets provides a constant opportunity for food to be handled by staff or consumer and prepared by persons who have insufficiently washed their hands following contact with infected dogs or cats, contaminated parkland or lawn grass, or contact with public surfaces used as seating, tables, or hand railings. If clothing has contacted contaminated surfaces, hand washing may provide only temporary benefit until the wearer touches their clothing to wipe their hand, rub an itch, or adjust it. There will be less risk in these environments if you wash purchased food in clean water, peel it whenever possible, cook it, and add anti-worm spices to it (see below). Remember that it is increasingly difficult to find municipal or rural water supplies which are not contaminated. Fresh vegetable and fruit juices provide a high degree of safety through their enzyme content. Size, longevity, and quality of enterprise can be an indicator of food safety. Franchise operations often encourage high standards of sanitary food preparation. Street vendors, sole proprietorships, and low cost ethnic restaurants more often violate sanitary precautions than franchisees. Washroom cleanliness is often an indication of kitchen staff standards. POSSIBILITY: In intimate relationships there is some opportunity for the infection to spread between individuals. Some species of hookworms spread from the lungs through the throat into the digestive system and to the intestines. Passing through the throat, they may be coughed up or otherwise brought into and carried temporarily by the saliva. Intimate kissing often involved the mixing and exchange of the saliva of the individuals involved. IF the non-infected person receives contamination in the saliva transfer, they MAY become infected. MAINTENANCE: DIET - Periodically consume curry meals (highly anti-parasitic) followed by probiotics treatment (to re-establish healthy intestinal flora). If the latter is NOT your usual diet, expect to be ill for 2 to 4 days for this cycle. Other spices of benefit include tumeric, cinnamon, cloves, garlic, hot peppers. Use of coconut oil in place of other cooking oils as well as replacing butter and margarine is also a benefit. It is a realistic approach to EXPECT to become infected by destructive parasites and to undergo a periodic (i.e. annual) parasitic cleanse, as most fresh waters globally located near human habitation ARE polluted. CDC estimates that 65 to 95% of human use (recreational, washing, drinking) waters are contaminated at any given time. ANY public use area such as rental accommodations (motels, hotels, furnished rooms, B & Bs, multi-owner condos and RVs), public transit (buses, streetcars, subways, trains, planes), restaurants, beaches, parks, movie and stage theatres, vans, washrooms, waiting and foyer rooms, and boardrooms are primary transfer points for parasite eggs and larvae. An infected person can easily transfer these, unintendedly, by a handshake, sneeze, cough, sitting on a fabric surface, or touching a hard surface. An employee who has touched an infected pet and not washed immediately afterwards (common) is also a primary transfer source. PLANNING can minimize periods of lost productivity and lengthy periods of distress and ill health. The ONLY way to stay sane and healthy and not degrade into paranoia or resignation --- is to add enzymes and herbal anti-parasitics to your diet, eliminate heavy metals and chemical accumulations from your system, maintain an active and healthy lymph system, and manage your career and materialistic demands to enable you to obtain adequate rest, encourage emotional stability, and, build spiritual strength. Health Assistive Parasites: It is best to remember that the healthy human gut contains many forms of constructive and health enhancing parasites some of which convert humanly undigestible foods into assimilatable nutrients, while others destroy health challenging parasites which may result from mutations or from introduction through the lungs (contaminated air), gut (contaminated food), or the lymph system (contaminated soil and surfaces). Still others can be helpful in stimulating the immune system and Reptilian Structure into actions and behaviors which result in the expulsion of similar, yet much more destructive organisms. Non-human host species threadworms may be just as assistive as cowpox was in the past. PATTERN ASSOCIATION: This has long been a tool of rationalized learning. While it can provide insights and possibilities, it is much more historically been a justification for prejudice, hasty conclusion, spurious connections, superstition, and deception. Ultimately, science, and truth, DO reveal complex inter-relationships and separate factors as the foundation to many solutions involving living dynamic and interacting systems. The Best solution is not only the Effective one, but also the Relevant one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
