Never thought I’d be thankful this whole shit show happened but I’m glad it did. Began my Ivermectin treatment on Friday. I have a black toilet in my house and 2 days later I could clearly make out little parasites in the toilet. Makes me think, we worm our pets and livestock but not ourselves. How many people are running around with parasitic infections and don’t know.

Bitter almonds are apricot kernels. If you crack the large pit open, you'll get a little almond shaped thing.
The almond and the apricot are two different trees, and two different seeds. The almond comes in two varieties bitter and sweet. The shape of the actual seeds is different with the almond having a softer shell with small indentations on it while the apricot seed is very hard and lacking the small holes. The shape of the kernels is very similar. Apricots are in a group called stone fruit. A name I believe they were given because of the hardness of the seed. If you have ever gotten unshelled almonds you know they are easy to shell. Apricots are a real pain in the ass to shell because of the hardness of the shell.
The taste of Apricot seeds are always bitter. Because of the similar shape of the seed and the bitter taste some people do refer to apricot seed as bitter almonds, but they are not.

BTW: The article on that blog says there may be 4 to 6mg of cyanide per almond. According to everything else I have seen that is 4 to 6mg per pound of bitter almonds. It would be exceedingly hard to eat enough to die unless you were an idiot. The bitter almond is not sold in America. I wonder why?
