Probably safer to get a cheap CT scan done in Mexico if you are worried about parasites inside your skull than to take dewormers. That said, Ivermectin is a very safe medication that you can try with minimal side effects.
- 71a54xd 3y agoYou're probably right - however I've recently found a number of papers indicating a heightened risk of parasitic infection post cdiff which I had earlier this year.
- Aurornis 3y agoGetting on an airplane, flying to a foreign country, getting a dose of radiation, then flying back is significantly more risky than your risk of having adverse parasitic infections in a developed country. This is a good example of how logic can completely break down in the face of a little bit of medical knowledge about obscure edge case stories.

- selimthegrim 3y agoYou’re getting a dose of radiation for the airplane flight anyway might as well pitch an umbrella and a lounger on the beach in Mazatlán while you’re at it
