agoha_vivi: I recently went to see a friend who narrated to me, how her neighbour lost her 7year old child to worms. There are many ways of engaging in reasonable promotion of ethical products, but this. . . For a start, I'm struggling to see how worm infestation could take the life of 7 years old child living in a presumably well-to-do family, without any history of illness or co-morbidities. What type of worm exactly? Tapeworm? roundworm, pinworm? Even if we give OP's hard sell 'tory' the benefit of doubt, I truly doubt if a single dose of 'only N150' albendazole (Zentel(R)), usually 400mg, would suffice to offset the obviously heavy worm burden the poor child was harboring. It would have to be taken for at least 3 days and then repeated after a week. 1 Like |

Thanks op. Ive been having this sharp pains in my body and a Dr friend advised to deworm. Havent done that in about 10 years. Im scared the worm may come out for me to see them due to a bad childhood experience with worms. Hope zentel can just send them out without me noticing? Someone please convince me. 2 Likes |

ojubi: @ oops it is called "differential diagnosis"if only medical personnel can be humble enough to seek the opinion of other colleagues. A female friend of mine was so sick with severe abdominal pains that left her sleepless for more than one week and unable to attend lecture. She went for treatment at university of calabar teaching hospital were she did a scan and all manner of test the doctors told her she has" pelvic inflammatory disease" and gave her high doses of antibiotics and pain relievers but to no avail. This girl suffered and almost died of abdominal pains so I asked her to go to a private lab. And do a simple text known as "H pillory" used in detecting peptic ulcer, when the result came out it was positive, but the doctors in unical could not noticed this differential diagnosis. I prescribe antacids for her and gave her medical advice on the dos and Dons of peptic ulcer, and since that day that problem ended. Most times you just need to try another medical personnel. What you've described above, as well as OP's anecdote is not differential diagnosis, please. Simply put, DD is using the absence of an ailment to confirm the presence of another. Is that what you described above? Part of the reason I avoid this section. the amount of crap here is enough to give me ulcers. |

This is very true. It is necessary to deworm ourselves and our family regularly. I think we all need to whether u think you have worms or not as there are several ways we can get these worms. For instance, failure to wash your hands thoroughly before eating, untreated drinking water, under cooked meat, etc. Your kids can easily get it from their school. In most cases, deworming once every six months is sufficient- that's what my doctor told me but please consult with your physician to know the medicine that should be taken and the interval that should be adopted to keep the parasites at bay. Don't just go and buy Zentel. There are some of us that live in remote areas who needs a prescribed medicine- not just zentel. Some of us may even need a second dose after few weeks of taking the first dose. Again, please seek the advice of ya Dokitor! |

The practice of deworming is very important. My mum who is a nurse deworms the whole family at 6months interval. This she does because the life span of the worms such as hook, tapeworms e.t.c is usually 6months. Now as a grown adult, I still deworm my husband and I every June 30th and Dec 31st every year. You may maintain good hygeine practice in your house, but what happens when you travel out of your home and you drink that which may appear clean but its not or the restaurant food, all these can introduce worms into d system. As a matter of fact ALL ADULTS/ CHILDREN have worms as parasites. 2 Likes |

@Ojubi, i suspect you are a "colleague"- a co-scientist! What you proferred for your friend was just the life-saver- differential diagnosis! But, as you and i knw, our "seemingly oga @the top" won't let due process as rgds restorin health fully †☺ ailing individuals take it's course, vizaviz, diagnosis b4 treatment. Their hatred for MLS as a whole from them i don't knw why.

Just for the records, I'm not discouraging the practice of regularly deworming oneself, at least 3-4 months for children and 6 months for adults. Indeed, routine administration of anthelmintics to pregnant women after the first trimester is recommended by WHO, especially for those living in areas of high prevalence of worms or those with poor sanitory conditions. This is against some earlier studies which had claimed the drugs could cause congenital malformations. 1 Like |

It's not about good personal hygiene. It's about the hygiene of your environment and society in general. If you live in a third world country and eat meat, you have worms. May be this is a good time to turn vegetarian. Any Nigerian who frequently patronizes roadside khebab or suya has worms. 1 Like |

[b][size=13pt]OMG Few days ago, my cousin lost her only child after over 10 years of marriage. The child was just about a year old. I saw her about five hours before she died. She was so weak and thin that you could see the shape of her skull! The baby had been to two general hospitals in Abuja where she was 'falsely' diagonised with malaria plus in one of the hospitals. After they treated her for malaria and there was no sign of improvement, they discharged her and told my cousin to seek spiritual help. After that, she was taken to a private hospital where she was treated for malaria and thypoid without even conducting a single test. It was during the treatment, they tested her for HIV, PCV and other tests, and the test results showed she was okay. The baby eventually died after receiving her last drip at the hospital. I may not be correct, but now I strongly feel that the death of that child may not be unconnected to worms, beacuse she was so pale, thin and weak ( the doctor could hardly find a vein in her body to pass drip through). I could remember the night the baby died, my cousin complained that the food in the baby's stomach may not be digesting as according to her, the baby didn't pass out feaces and her stomach kept bulging the whole day before she passed on! This is really an eye opener for me! @ OP, God bless you! Deworming should be taken as seriously as preventing malaria and thypoid![/b][/size] |
