20 years ago I lived in a third world country. I had parasites many
times over the two years I lived there. I took the drugs the doc
recommended and never thought twice about it. They certainly worked to
get rid of the bugs.

But...after I left there I started having some needling health problems
that just never went away. I wonder now if all of those repeated
courses of antibiotics and other drugs didn't cause some problems.
