Female 74 Yrs., excellent health until recent tia s. Hospital tests didn t indicate a significant reason for the tia s. Cholesterol was borderline. BP 120/70. I ll get to my immediate question— could the drugs that were given to me for the treatment of ascariasis at 28 have any long term side effects? I had observed the parasite once about age 10 & told my mother. I probably received some treatment then, but I m not sure. I lived on the farm (IN) & the entire family wasn t tested or treated, so I presume I was infected most of my early adulthood. My husband & children was tested & they were infected & treated. Follow up testing was done to insure treatments were affective, but I don t know the drug that was used. I do know it was a poison. I required several treatments.
