Flossy, I AM NOT SUICIDAL. It is inappropriate for you to suggest such to someone you do not even know and whom is sincerely hyperinfected with ascariasis. I have a 3.5 GPA, BA in psychology from a highly reputable private college. Your "mites" are not even on the same level as disseminated Ascaris so please refrain from telling someone critically ill they are suicidal. Would you tell someone w brain cancer they're just weak and suicidal? No.
And I wouldn't wish harm or my kids to be a talking point at all. Plain and simple hyperinfection (which you can't imagine with helminthes) is REALLY REAL and really contagious. Munchausen- I think not. My kids are chronically ill.
