Then I found out the ingredient was the same in human wormer but the pharmacy charges $25 and pig wormer is about $0.25. I was still disgusted.

The survivalists websites have nifty hints and precautions on what and where to stock up on stuff without prescriptions, the same drugs but for the "animal kingdom", when doctors and supplies aren't readily available when the SHTF

[Caipirabob]

I haven’t seen that brand in years! Thanks for the (ouch) memories...lol!

Would it work against parasites who live in my city??”

The gasoline and match tecgnique would work fine here.

My first experience with tobacco was eating (yes eating) half a bar of Days Work tobacco.

I don’t know if it killed any parasites, but I’m confident that my intestinal tract was as clean as a whistle the next day.

Why were you still disgusted?

The FDA requires separate testing and different regulations for developing the drug for humans, that vastly adds to the cost.

[BerryDingle]

Yeah, but Arnold is a pig even though he lives in the house here with us.

“...make sure people know to buy _food grade_ DE...”

Yes, I buy it in 50 lb bags from the feed mill. It is Food Grade. The DE for swimming pool filters is NOT Food Grade and should never be used with animals or people.

We dust the cat beds etc to deal with fleas, and sometimes the cats. Works great.

In the barn it minimizes flies.

LOL

I think (hope) your dear old Mom was just trying to scare the hell out of you for some reason. She sure did me.

I will think of her story every time I see someone drinking a glass of milk.......as I immediately run for cover.

[null and void]

That you may not be alone is a very scary thought.

Scary, yet oddly comforting...

[Labyrinthos]

I drink gasoline and swallow a match to kill my parasitic worms.

Reads like a line from "the most interesting man in the world" commercials for Dos Equis beer.

[Ladysmith]

Sitting here just laughing. Quite the entertaining thread is its own gross way. LOL

I bought prescriptions for my kids and the pharmacist said it was approve for over the counter sale but the pharmaceutical company didn’t want to sale it that way. I was no longer disgusted at the farmer I was disgusted at HHS. Things are not as they seem when reported in the news.

Noooo, my Mom was never prone to exaggerate let alone tell an untruth, she heard that story from her Mother who told another story that could be chalked up as just a scary ghost story but the local legend in a small town in central Florida still persists about 'the Day the Devil came to Town'...

...it was around the time of the Great Depression, 1932-1933 when an old man who lived by himself outside of town became bedridden due to both age and ailment, two church ladies stopped by to check on him twice a day, and brought him some food, fruit, soup, things like that, he was quite frankly (based on what I heard) a mean ol' sonuvabitch (my words, not my Grandmothers') but he was grateful and appreciative to those two church ladies for looking after him.

...one day when they arrived, they found him delirious and obviously with a fever and he was calling out for help, moaning in agony, saying he had been such a mean person all his life, "that the Devil was coming to get him". The ladies went to town as quickly as they could to get the doctor, that took the better part of an hour...

...When the ladies and the doctor got back to the old man's house, they went to his bedroom to find that he was gone. A bedridden man who could barely get up to use the washroom, was missing. They searched the entire house from top to bottom, and no sign of him. They went to the kitchen where they found the rear screen door open, swinging on it's hinges in the light wind, and in the dirt and sand they saw what look liked heel marks dragged in the dirt, and there were in fact hoof marks ahead of the scuff marks, they followed the trail to the edge of the man's property where they stopped right in front of a very old oak tree.

The local sheriff was summoned, and conducted a thorough search of the property and the surrounding area, without a trace of the old man turning up.

Reportedly, the sheriff went to see an old Seminole Indian woman who was known to tell fortunes and 'talked to spirits' and before he could even say anything to her, she pronounced "you won't find that man, the devil got him now, go home and give thanks that you were not with him."

You’ve got to be kidding... serious?

Absolutely serious!

I used DE to worm my cats. Got rid of a giant horrible worm (probably tapeworm, I didn’t want to look TOO closely) that was making one old man cat very sick. I took it myself for about 2 months just in case. No change, so I was probably worm free already.

The garden kind is the food grade kind AFAIK. The bad kind is the “pool” kind.

[Lady Jag]

Tapeworms are traumatically memorable when emerging from an animal. I'll never forget the neighbor's dog's worm I saw as a small child.

hookworms will get you if you are barefoot. There are other places where you can get infected by parasitic worms from being in water.
