Quassia chips, the white rind and seeds of pomegranate and black walnut hull tincture are effective anthelmintics and can be used in place of wormwood. All of the deworming herbs mentioned here are safe to take in tea or capsules for short periods. If any anthelmintic herb disagrees with you, substitute something that doesn't. |

To prevent future infestations, follow these commonsense steps. Wash your hands carefully, especially under fingernails, after changing diapers, handling raw meat or playing with pets. Do what you can to prevent worms and other parasites in your dogs and cats. I give my Lab, Samantha, grapefruit seed extract capsules every day because she swims in a Giardia infested lake; her frequent stool samples, tested because of her work as a therapy dog in hospitals and nursing homes, show her to be free of all parasites. |
