Every one in the family takes it. It cost very little ($10) for a family of 4. He was shocked that we in the U.S. do not have these worries or take any precautions at home. I had never heard of this either.

Seems to work. We treat it like we did the batteries in our smoke detectors NOB. When daylight savings changes, we take our pill, twice a year.

I did Daxon last time (see comment of Mexico Way), but the side effects were pretty strong for me. So far so good on the Vermox, no side effects and I am feeling pretty much back to normal, I even noticed a change in my energy level. And oh my goodness yes, amoebas are the worst! A coworker got nailed by them a few weeks ago and ended up hospitalized for over a week, they thought they were going to have to remove his kidney!!CancunCanuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12694054388941351498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-34299412688278488152008-05-02T18:18:00.000-05:002008-05-02T18:18:00.000-05:00Have you heard of Amenox (the US made version is Anfi-something and about 2x the price)? It is prophilatic, one dose every 3 months. Now I'm going to google your stuff. We've been going through non-stop tummy stuff and I've been wondering if it is the cheap water (at the plant vs the Cristal or Electropura at 2x the price)...<BR/><BR/>We have had confirmed amoebas though and they are NASTY and no question when you have them.harvestmoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11262700116262217636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-682861064671351282008-05-02T18:10:00.000-05:002008-05-02T18:10:00.000-05:00i have never heard about that fecal test so i think it is only on preschool...danielahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17337385581002118131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-87595337815859006942008-05-02T11:52:00.000-05:002008-05-02T11:52:00.000-05:00elsueño- The bugs affect everyone, foreigner or born here. It's the nature of the climate among other things (like lack of potable water).<BR/><BR/>ale- I could learn something from you mom, lol. I do take care as best I can, but it's just bound to happen (I do enjoy mis tacos de lechon y carnitas en la calle).<BR/><BR/>brice- LOL. Yes. I guess I thought they did that everywhere, this is my first time with a kid! I didn't even think that it was just a Mexican thing. Twice a year, if you don't bring in a clean test you are not allowed to enter the school. Sounds good to me, keep the sickies at home!<BR/><BR/>Scott- We ran drills, I had flash cards, we worked very hard to pass that test. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Hi Daniela!- Thanks for commenting sweetie, glad to see you here. Now I am wondering if the fecal test is just a preschool thing, you don't have to do it for your high school?<BR/><BR/>Liz- Hey, we're the parasite twins, haha. Oooh Daxon. I took it last time and I had HORRIBLE nightmares, got really dizzy, bad reaction to it. So it must be good, right? How you feeling? Is the world spinning (more than usual)?CancunCanuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12694054388941351498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854196866242970797.post-91400885945806502732008-05-02T10:57:00.000-05:002008-05-02T10:57:00.000-05:00Looks like you and I are on the same cycle of parasites. I am in the middle of my treatment right now except I'm taking Daxon. I heard that it kills more of the parasites that you have than the Vermox does. You have to ask for it at the pharmacy. It's about 100 pesos and you take 1 pill every 12 hours and there are 6 pills. PS.

Does a native Mexican not get infested with such things? Just curious... I'm going to ask DH when he gets home and see what he says. :)elsuenoamericanohttp://elsuenoamericano.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
