How to get rid of worm in throat.

[fracty]

I've had worms or something in the back of my throat for a while now, but today it seems like one got really big and keeps trying to crawl out - choking me on the way.

I tried gargling with baking soda. I did get a few specs to come out.

I am going to buy listerine.

I also have pumpkin seeds or pineapple I can eat. What should I do?

Usually it is gross, but today it is choking me a bit. I dont have insurance and I have already spent thousands on this plus I am not able to work like before so I need an inexpensive solution.

I'm going to go buy coconut juice with lime and see if that does it.

OK.. I finally got it to ease up by eating salty popcorn.
if you know how to get it out for good let me know. I think the DE will teach them - once it gets here,

Its still in there doing something and it hurts.

I tried gargling with Listerine and some things came out. Unfortunately they went down the drain before I could get them for the microscope.
(Big head part with a long end) Or maybe it was just parts of them or parts of an infection. But I can definitely feel something burrowing in and hurting. It has been there for a few weeks. But today it is getting more aggressive.

I do not have any money left. And I dont have insurance. Im not sure if the county hospital will even see me and it is very far. When I've tried to get help from the places here they were very angry and refused.

I'm not really sure what to do in a case like this.

fracty,

I want to let you know that I am reading your posts but I don't have any advice.

Where do you live?

this might or might not help you, but it can't hurt. put some salt in water and gargle with it several times a day. Really salty water! Also irrigate your nasal passages with a saline solution. Not too strong on the salt this time. I buy the packets of saline solution for the Netipot.

I had a problem with my nose and throat and found this device at the drugstore...Netimed, it looks like a little plactic toy teapot. I use it every morning for my nasal passages snd I no longer have the nose movement and heavy feeling in the back of my throat. I make sure I use salty water every day. I hope you find relief soon.

Fracty,

How are you doing today?

I'm very concerned about the swelling in your throat. Allergic reactions can manifest that way sometimes. Do you have a sore throat?
Have you changed any medications lately?
Do you have any known allergies?
Have you been eating something you don't normally eat?

I would start restricting my diet if I were you and eat bland food (like rice and veggies, for example) - stay away from known allergens: strawberries, antibiotics, citrus, among others.

I think (if it is a worm, which I believe is possible, or even likely) the only thing that would work would have to be systemic (whole body) - like the vitamin C and salt. I think gargling with salt water is a good idea - as well as swallowing the salt water too.

You said you're low on money - salt and vitamin C are cheap. I also am a BIG BELIEVER in garlic. Again, it's fairly inexpensive - buy some of the tablets if you can - garlic is anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory (among other good things). Also you could try cold presses on your throat. Look at the back of your throat and see if your tonsils are inflammed (they are at the sides of the back of the throat) - You could have tonsilitis which is making the nematode situation worse.

The most dangerous situation, though, would be an allergic reaction which is making your throat swell, exacerbating the nematode situation. That's what you have to watch out for. I don't mean to scare you, but if it is an allergy, your throat could close up and block your airway. Could be the nematode itself causing that feeling, too, but you've got to try to reduce the possibility of an allergy.

You said you're eating pumpkin seeds. If that is something new for you, you should stop for now.

Call your doctor if you really feel your throat is closing up. They can give you an Epi-Pen if you have allergies, just in case of emergency.

Some people are allergic to certain insects and we know Morgellons has a lot of insects associated with it.

Keep in touch, OK?

Thank you so much everyone!
I ended up going to the hospital for a couple of days.

I was only in the ER and they gave me a referral to an infectious disease doctor who will hopefully be of some help.

I considered that it might be an allergic reaction, but I knew it was not because I have felt them going up and down my throat for weeks. then on thursday they really started burrowing in or doing something painful. I know people have suffocated from worms coming up their their throat and cutting off the oxygen. So i was definitely afraid of that when the swelling kept increasing.

Listerine helped me gargle out a few. The doctor at the hospital could not get them out and did not know what it was. (I saved 2 dried ones to show him.)

But maybe the next doctor can give me some relief. In the meantime the Listerine keeps getting a few out here and there. Nothing else I tried would do it - even the salt. And if it gets hard to breathe again all I can do is go back to the ER.

Fracty,
sorry to hear this. I am i the same boat , no money and not working. My throat swelled up last week and i was in urgent care. Mine I think was from fluconazome a dr. gve m for furrows on my tongue that she could not diagnose. I notice that garlic helps me alot so I eats lots everyday steamed or in my frying pan iwth veggies etc. I always feel like there are bits in my throat. Ihave a constant headache and stiff jaw now for 10 days and feel like I have the flu but my jaw hurts me alot............Fracty are you OK?---love Tylee

Hey everyone,
