odd question but you know how it goes .... (internet full of overdramatic "you have cancer" + aislop etc these days) and don't exactly wanna ask this IRL for obvious reasons.but yeah I picked up this job where I'd deal younger with children a lot and since 30% of (yes civilized denmark!) kiddo fuckers have worms pinworms its called in english ig ... the consequence is that I myself have pinworms too now. First it kinda scared me but reading up on it its actually very common in the civilized world (central to northern europe) so whatever still lowkey embarassing eventhough every second person gets it once in their life here according to wikipedia.Now my question is: im currently on vacation and rented the place 34 days , the procedure is to change bedsheets every day but I kind of do not want to ask the staff for new bedsheets on a daily basis. The deworming agent I take apparently kills all adult worm that can reproduce but as they lay 10 000 spore like eggs everywhere its quite common to re-infect yourself assuming you managed to "cure" yourself either trough completing one reproductive circle OR trough taking the deworming agent. Now I wonder what if I just spam the deworming agent (pyrantel) 5 weeks in a row and do not keep up the extreme hygiene practices of changing bedsheet every single night. The thing is the worms eggs (which stick everywhere and can even infect trough inhalation) can survive outside the host for like 3 whole weeks but as I'm the only host around I should in theory be able to be less extreme with the hygiene (boiling everything daily as disinfectants don't work) right?Wikipedia says:"The egg-laying process begins approximately five weeks after initial ingestion of pinworm eggs by the human host"so If i were to eat it 3-4 times a month, all eggs spread around in this place would die (as MAX 3w outside host) and those I already consumed would die before being able to lay new eggs (as from consumption of an egg 2 laying its 5w)
>>34080071I'll drop some interesting facts on worms I discovered trough kinda researching this. Feel free to look it up but note that the articlesin dutch and german and scandifag languages differ from the english one in stats but its still wikipedia and quotes other sources you can check) Fact 1:1) only 33% of people notice they even have them, Personally I found out cuz i was told some of the kids had it by the parents and i mean you can feel sth move inside your ass which is terribly distressing desu2) in WW2 in the netherlands 80% of the population had it as they ran out of the medicine <look it up dutch wikipedia>3) the medicine I used pyrantel is sold OTC in all of europe along with one for tapeworms but almost nobody gets tapeworms these are RARE4) the medicine tastes not super bad but not nice either, its an extremely strong red dye and will color everything in a strong bright red so don't spill it , i think they put it in so you know once it traversed you which may take 2-3 days4) initially on the way down it was ok I mixed it with plenty of alcohol cuz needed the alcohol as courage to ask for a deworming agent in pharmacy. But when going to bed much later I kinda got weird disgestive discomfort like when you about to shit water like it felt unhealthy . This morning I woke up nauseous and a little off , I went and bought a pack of MCP as the sert based ones cost 130 for 5 pills what a joke(but she told me don't worry it happens all the time . Just ask for 2 doses for 12 year olds if ur shy and don't wanna admit its for yourself but she told me its nothing special so whatever)5) this shit is MAD expensive like 60 euro PER treatment so thats like if i wanna be sure 4x60 to holocaust them all6) no im not indian but ive picked up a habit of biting my nails when working with kids which is where this gets you but feel free to insult me the internet is free whatever lol it is disgusting i admit that
