Don't be a bag. Even most MDs don't remember which ones are covered by albendazole, ivermectin and the other 8000 antiparasitic medications and it's irrelevant for this guy because all he needs to know is that he needs to see someone to get diagnosed and treated. Preferably someone who deals with this weird shit frequently, like ID.

Also, please stop touching your ass then your mouth (the method of reinfection). TYIA.

Sorry, you're totally right. The most common symptom of taeniasis is perianal itching. I guess I was passed out drunk the morning they taught us that in parasitology. Thanks for correcting me. I apologize for being a "bag."

According to NIH - usual taeniasis has no symptoms, until one is passed in stool. If original poster has seen this, then proceed to treat/go see doctor.

My bet - if the original poster is serious - is that it is a yeast infection, unless one was seen in stools. If it's yeast it can then be cleared with an anti-yeast treatment and diet. Take 4-12 weeks depending on severity.

Sarcasm doesn't quite register with you, eh?

yeah, I'm totally gonna have to agree with whodini (not like my input matters a whole lot), the perianal itching and constant hunger are a tipoff to enterobiasis rather than cysticercosis (if someone did actually suggest taenia)...and no, I don't think an ID specialist is necessary, any EM doc should be able to able to figure it out...

Why are so many people embarassed with doctors? Am I the only one with no problem showing a doc the inside of my rectum?

Jack, if it makes you feel any better, I'd be embarassed at looking at the inside of your rectum.

I hate rectums. And I hate patients who think they're the only one who doesn't want me to stick my finger in their ass and treat me like I'm offering because I really want to do it. Trust me, I don't like the smell of poo finger. Note to self - practice holding breath.
