Today's haiku

[conuly]

The creeping worry
Scared even of my own thoughts
Parasitic dread


So, once again I am forced out of my apathy to ask... if parasites often show no symptoms, how do you know? Would it be incredibly embarrassing and weird to just go to the doctor and ask "Hey, check me out for worms because THEY DON'T ALWAYS SHOW SYMPTOMS????" I'd only have to do that one time, right?

You can't get worming tablets over the counter at the chemist? I regularly worm every animal(including humans) at my place.

Anyway, everyone has parasites of some sort. Generally, you only worry if you have too many (when your butt will start to itch pretty fiercely/ you'll have dead worms in your pants in the morning) or something like tapeworm.

If you can't get the meds, there are herbs that will kill them but I wouldn't really recommend going that route.
