I thought we were supposed to be encouraging gut flora and fauna, and that deworming and antibiotics was causing all sorts of allergies and disorders.
I mean, faecal transplants are a thing now.
As a species, we spend trillions of dollars a year on armaments and the machinery of war, and can't even definitively answer simple questions about our own bodies. What a disappointment we are.
There is a drug called ivermectin that will kill all invertebrate without harming gut bacteria. I'm not sure what gave you the idea [ ... assumption] that treatment against invertebrate parasites automatically is detrimental to our gut biome. And I definitely don't follow your logic towards the end, but have a look at ivermectin it is a hell of a drug.
I agree. Not only does it negatively affect human gut flora and fauna, but the deworming agents have a negative effect in nature especially on certain flies and beetles when administered to live stock. Instead of focusing on medication, I think there is a ton we can do by being more mindful about what we eat and how we prepare our food.
