Camallanus Worm - Levamisol diary

More threads like this and I'll become a full-blown fish hypochondriac, but thanks for sharing.
 
I thought I would add to this thread with an interesting finding that I would love for others to "test" and see how it goes. That is- if you are into trying out things. I recently purchased a vitamin supplement product called "VitaTrace" made by Kordon. As with my other vitamin supplements, I added it to the food and let it soak a couple of minutes. The packaging, however, states to only add it to the water. Well, I love to experiment. Soon after feeding my "vitamin enriched" product, the fish affected with Callamanus were swimming about normally, however, I noticed the worms getting very agitated and looking like they were trying to leave. They were coming out much further than they ever had. I did not watch long enough to see if they would actually drop out, but now about a month later, my fish no longer shows signs of infection. In fact, none of my fish show signs of infection.

If there are other "experimenters" out there to test this product for callamanus, I would love to hear your results. This could, "very very hopefully" produce an enormous breakthrough on treatment options and save our fish the horrible stress of being treated with levamisole.

This only appeared to work with the "vitaTrace", I also added it to the water as suggested by the product packaging.
 
Very interesting thread. Thanks for posting it.

:barf: This is one of the many reasons I refuse to place a tank in my kitchen.

Any updates? How are the fish?
