> [internal parasites] can cause, among other things, diarrhoea, fatigue and weight loss. However, they only pose a graver threat if their numbers grow out of control. Such “hyper-infection”, which is often fatal, becomes far more likely if a patient is receiving corticosteroids, which both suppress the immune system and appear to make female worms more fertile. And dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, is now a standard treatment for severe covid-19, because it prevents the immune system from going into overdrive and attacking the body’s own cells. [1] The amplification effect of steroids on parasites is backed up by research on mice [2] and an informal survey of the ivermectin/covid research shows good evidence for the same effect in humans [3] [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20220220090522/https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/11/18/ivermectin-may-help-covid-19-patients-but-only-those-with-worms https://web.archive.org/web/20220220090522/https://www.econo...
