Maybelle, I was just reading on a horse forum about the growing problem of the encysted small strongyloid. It seems that they are capable of laying "pregnant" eggs, and they need NOT leave the human or other body to complete their life cycle!! They suck! They are eating away at my gums and even bone in my mouth!! They SUCK! If one stays on oral worm meds for many months without stopping can we eliminate them? Resistance to meds is another BIG problem! Would it be a good idea to try older meds that they might not be used to? Can one still find membendazole? Thiabendazole (sp?)
Just began topical Moxi and 5% Iver, and began fenbendazole a week ago, noticed improvement. Have taken several months of oral Iver and Valbazen with no success, but just discovered serious re-contamination issues everywhere in yard and house! Have coughing and know there is lung involvement.
