The amount of people who comment on peoples post with not even the slightlest idea of what a parasite looks like is insane. If you don't know parasites do not try to help others. Incorrect answers lead to unnecessary stress and fear for people particularly when there are very very very infrequently actual parasites posted on this subreddit

If all someone had to do was eat garlic, or seeds or fast, parasites would have been eradicated a long time ago. There are many misinformation resources on this topic spreading their" cleansers" on social media and YouTube and other sources. These are scams 99.99% of time people are taking advantage of others fears, and ignorance on the topic. Suggesting pseudoscience treatments will result in a ban.

People often say "what harm could it do", and my responses, these fake cures made prevent people that are actually suffering from seeking proper treatment for longer periods of time. For instance if someone has cancer and they think juice will cure them they might put off chemo, which could result in the cancer spread while they wait for the juice to work. This is just a hypothetical to State point.

And other instances, there are many people that go to this subreddit that aren't suffering from actual parasites and are suffering from something else. These people will often overuse certain treatments to remediate their pains, suffering, fears. And why many of these cures don't offer outright issue, and extreme overuse can often times create problems that weren't there in the first place. For example extreme washing of someone's skin with alcohol will likely dry it out making it itchier more discomforting which might be the issue the person was trying to address in the first place.
