Is there going to be a second rush on ivermectin?
maybe they’ll get the covid booster to cure this
there’s no specific treatment for a rat lungworm infection. No anti-parasitic drugs have proven effective, and, in fact, there’s some evidence they can make symptoms worse by spurring more immune responses to dying worms. For now, supportive treatment, pain medications, and steroids are typically the only options.
So yes, and it will be just as useless.
studies from Thailand and China show that the combination of glucocorticoids and antihelminthics is safe and decreases the duration of headaches and the number of patients who had significant headache.

The Big Worm™ strikes again.
Brain worms in Florida, Alabama etc wouldn’t cause much damage anyway.
They’d starve to death.
Just what I wanted to read about before going to sleep
So if I’m in Florida don’t eat raw slugs? I guess I have to change my holiday plans.
Really don’t like the idea of a worm crawling around in my brain idly for a couple of months, though maybe it could tidy up a bit and eat a few cringe memories.
You know what? I’m proud of that worm. He’s going places
Oh is that what’s going on in the southeast?
