PROS AND CONS OF DE-WORMING

Hi Zodwa.

You must be enjoying being "home".

Adults get worms mostly from under-cooked meat (esp pork) and might be ingested from infected-poo as well (unwashed hands, fruits/veggies, etc).
hope that helps

Am in SA Vamo, will leave for Paki next month.
I dewormed today, he loves eating soil, so thought I might as well do it.

Wonder what causes worms in adults...... must look for that other post

Vamo, I do think your LB is getting to much milk. My LB has been on 2 x 300 ml and 1 x 150 ml milk per 24 hours since 13 months. He gets cooldrink or water or tea for the rest of the day. Maybe you could start replacing one bottle per day with something else and work your way to less milk. Shame, so much milk must also be hard on your pocket!! But I don't think his appetite is connected to the deworming.

Thanks Gals

RM...I'll keep the idea of a Dietician in mind.

Deja...every morning when he wakes up, I give him 10 spoons of pre-boiled water then half an hour its breakfast time. But during the day, he sees water from a distance and would say "hai mama" as if to mean "hey I've taken my water share for the day...what now?" But I will try harder.

Zodwa...are you still in SA, when are you taking off? how is the little man doing?

MommyN, my bad, I must have missed it but will browse for it.

Thanks Gals once again

I deworm every 6 months, even myself and DH if he is home, and must say I have never noticed any side effects. But then again I don't really look out for any

Just remember that the WHOLE family needs to be dewormed - humans and animals!

There was a thread about deworming about 2 weeks ago.

How often should u deworm?
Once or twice a year?
