Re: malathion
Okay, can I co-star in your horror movie?
I've got a lovely big bump on my foot that is worm-shaped and wriggles, when I apply malathion or hydrogen peroxide to it.
The last time I got blocked eustachians was by taking a hot bath, drying off, and applying malathion (it's a standard OTC 0.5% scabicide) to my whole body (except the face). I was actually trying to get rid of the bump on my foot. That just wriggled around even more and the worm came right up to just under the skin. However, I got 2 point-specific headaches at the back of my head. Then a couple of hours later, I got the blocked ear feeling. I had that for a whole day, and then it went.
I stumbled onto malathion when I thought this condition was scabies. My skin rash would be controlled or cleared up by using malathion, but this eventually stopped happening. However, I know my worms don't like it, but that it doesn't kill them (the adults, anyway). Basically, the hot bath raises the temperature of your body, allowing the malathion to be absorbed throught the skin into your blood stream. As far as I can see, it can't hurt if you only apply it only the once.
Do not use the malathion more than once. It says on the packet, you can use it again after a week, but then don't use it again. It's an insecticide and can be poisonous. Believe this. When I had a really bad skin-fit, I used it 3 days in a row, and was as sick as a dog - flashing lights, vertigo, nausea. I could barely stand. Anyway, if it doesn't work in one application, it's probably not going to work at all. I feel a bit wierd about telling you about this. I started the herbal remedies to get away from the poisonous insecticides. They really aren't good for your body at all. I've stopped using them. So I want you to be aware of the risks.
Even if your worm does die up there, your blood would get rid of it. I found this article interesting about how the blood does it:

The frustrating thing about allopathic doctors not acknowledging the prevalence of parasites, is that they don't acknowledge how the blood gets rid of them either. AArgh! So there probably isn't "scientific" evidence for this, but if Ingrid Naiman is making this up, she's done a very good job of it, with the darkfield photos.
Okay, if anyone feels there should be more public health warnings about the malathion, please feel free to add them.
