See? They told you to stay out of those places...
we ate fish, crab, and mystery meat banh my (on weevil baguettes).
Today, many freshwater fish selections at supermarkets such as swai, pangasius and sometimes catfish are from Vietnam. Be careful if you use these as sushi.
You forgot hair loss....
I'm pretty sure that I got that from my mom's side of the family..
This is good information NOT just for Viet Nam Vets, but for those of us that were in S. Korea at the time ‘66-’68. I remember the honey wells vividly as a few times I pulled over speeders for the issuance of citations, and just happened to be next to one. Stunk like ‘H’. Made us all want to puke. A few guys got away with warnings as we all hastily departed the scene to get away from the stink as fast as we legally could.
Another time a train on the tracks behind the compound/barracks at the 55th struck one of those self propelled tillers a guy had rigged to pull his honey barrel. The barracks stunk for a week, or better from the spill.
Regardless it is my understanding the parasites are in that fecal material, and it was all over the place, and in everything at the time. I’ll be bringing that up with the vet Dr. next trip in.
B.S. Like being in Vietnam caused vets to have type 2 diabetes 50 years later, yet the Vietnamese don’t have the same problem? Never mind they spent the last 50 years eating garbage and laying on the sofa watching Oprah. And don’t get me started on PTSD. If a third of PTSD cases ere real it would mean that we have the weakest cardre of soldiers of any nation ever. We diagnose and pay vets for being afraid? If they were not afraid then I would say they have a mental disorder. It is all just another ageny (Veterans Administration) trying to get more Americans to rely on the government for a paycheck.
Thanks for the ping. I’m glad I never ate fish in Vietnam.
[Diatomaceous Earth treatment]
DE works.
Clonorchis sinensis. Class- Trematoda. Phylum Platyhelminthes.
LOL!
Did you watch Band of Brothers or Pacific? The interviews with the Easy soldiers should tell you that even those guys were effected. PTSD affects every one to one level or another. Before my combat deployment to Afghanistan I probably would have ignored it when a POS like you post this drivel, but now I come to the defense of other combat veterans against excrement like you.
Don’t forget Hepatitis C. 1 in 10 Vietnam Veterans have it. Due to unsterile vaccinations (air guns) as well as contaminated blood which was extracted from stateside convicts and shipped to Vietnam. Those who received blood transfusions need to visit a physician. Hepatitis C can hide in one’s body unnoticed for decades....
Doesn’t appear so.

Alexander the Great reportedly suffered from PTSD. As did David Gregg (Colonel in Gregg’s Cavalry). Nothing to be ashamed of. Treatable.
TRICLABENDAZOLE is the same thing the vet uses to get rid of worms in cows and sheep and dogs and cats. There is a treatment made with Diatomaceaous Earth that will kill these things too. They are cold blooded invertebrates and should be fairly easy to eradicate, IF YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THEM.
The length of time that they have been in the host would have a lot to do with how bad things have progressed. My dad would tell you to swallow a (pre 1974) penny every day for a week and you will be fine. (Not the same penny.) Copper will kill most guy parasites.
(Im just a FReeper who knows some stuff about bugs.)
CAT Scan-of liver. Blood work-up. Stool specimen. Should rule out/in illness.
You forgot ailments related to agent orange! Talk about a mess :(
