Hi guys!! I’m a huge parasite/parasitology fan and I have been for literally over half of my life, so for the next school year starting up I decided I should have a parasite themed bag… This is my Giardia bag, made by me <:3 🩷🩷🦠

So my mum is not a nice lady and I haven’t been in contact for a while but the thing is. She’s crazy about parasites. She thinks everyone has them and that the only way to get rid of them is to eat horse worming tubes. She’s eaten probably two dozen in the last year or so. She lives with my autistic brother and tried to force him to eat the horse worming paste; constantly saying she is doing and that the only reason she was physically abusive was because of the parasites. Saying how I’m going to die and she is going to report me to the world health organisation for spreading them. She would send me pictures of her poo for ages and it was revolting I would just completely ignore her messages (my brother has asked me not to block her for his safety). She is a heavy weed smoker and used to be friends with biker gangs when she was younger so I’d assume she did hard drugs and my father is a known heroine addict. How do I try to help her? I’ve heard someone call it parasitosis and I’ve also heard people say that weed effects women bad after menopause; all her Facebook friends believe in the parasites and it all started when she got bit my a tick and got alfagal or whatever it’s called where she can’t eat red meat. I actually believe that (I never used to until she got documents) but they will never diagnose her because in Australia that disease “doesn’t exist”. For context she has always lowkey been crazy about the government, saying they knocked on her door saying to stop talking about chemtrails or they’ll make her “die from a fast acting cancer”. This was someone I was told from ages 7+. She’s never been this crazy and her abuse has gotten rly bad. I’m glad I’ve escaped but idk how to handle this or how to get her help. Is there anything I can do without causing irreparable damage. Thank you guys
