Extremely... but unfortunately most Western doctors won't test for it, won't prescribe meds for it and are convinced that it's not possible in 1st world countries. In other words, utter quackery.
- DelightOne 6y agoCan you just take meds for every worm there is or how do you know what kind of worms to test for?
- Tepix 6y agoSource? Both for your claim that they are "extremely" common and that doctors won't test
- hnick 6y agoI remember having worming pills as a precaution as a child in Australia, and was also later infected with threadworm at least once so had medicine for that. I did walk around outside without shoes a lot back then. But from what I've seen in research and been told by doctors, they see no reason to worm adults as a precaution. I'm not sure what the supposed downside is of doing it once a year or so - nasty side effects?
