Anyone ever try human intestinal worm medication on AEFW's?

[kevensquint]

I was reading a few AEFW's threads in here and I thought, if somebody gave "interceptor"the dog heart worm medication a try. Thanks to them we have a remedy for RB's, maybe someone could try other human/animal parasite medications on the AEFW's. If I had AEFW's and a quarentine tank, I'd try it. I'm not sure about in the U.S, but you can buy a variety of human parasite medication over the counter in Mexico. The way I see it, besides the AEFW problem there is'nt too much else that we can't fix in the SPS departement.

38 hits no response...looks like AEFW's are gonna be a problem for a long time.

It'll definitely be worth a try... I don't know enough about the organisms and different treatments to know what treatments would work on the AEFW's, but if there is something fairly easy to obtain, it would certainly make sense to Frankenstein something in an attempt...

What reasoning are you using to suggest it might work?

have you tired TMPCC it seems to be working for me. I do use about double the dose though. It says on the bottle that it is for AEFW and people seem to be in agreement.

Everything I've heard says TMCC has the same active ingredient as Lavamisole in it.

BUT there is one HUGE difference. People are experiencing RTN with Lavamisole not with TMPCC and I use twice the recomended dose.

Could that just be that TMPCC is at a much lower dosage to start? The people here are using enough levamisole to deworm a pig on about 1L of water.

I know ground black walnut hulls work pretty good on human intestinal worms! I'm not sure that one will dissolve in water though. :lol:
