So here’s a new one for most people I think. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at an early age and when I turned 40 I found a doctor who turned me on to helminths (hookworm) therapy and it changed my life. My stomach issues disappeared and I had a colony of symbiotic prednisone factories living I my gut. I went many years without symptoms of any kind but as a test I stopped taking them every three months and went a whole year and a half at which time all my stomach issues slowly came back. I started to take them again and my symptoms went away again. I can’t live without these little anti inflammatory buggers. My fear is that I will develop Covid symptoms, take ivermectin and wipe out my worm protectors. I would have to start from scratch building a colony again which is annoying. I think I would rather not use my ivermectin until I was desperate. Anyone else crazy like me, using hookworms to keep their intestines happy, worrying about using ivermectin? I think I’m the only one but I know from message boards the helminth community grows every day, I’m sure there are people worrying about this and weighing the choice. This is just to let you know that people with the predicament exist. Now go ahead and say “you put willingly put worms in your body? Yechhh!” But don’t knock it till you try it.
