This time around I've been using a steroid cream to keep down the inflammation. The results still aren't pretty but I don't have the ugly blisters I usually get. Definitely worth using.

Celiac.com Sponsor (A13):
The cream I used was a topical corticosteroid called Taro-Mometasone, aka Mometasone Furoate USP 0.1%, applied every 6–8 hours.

After a week the mark should be almost gone. After multiple inoculations I've never been left with a scar. It has never hurt, just tingled initially and itched some later. Nothing to get upset about.

If you've ever wondered how your dogs get worms this is how. The larvae are sitting in the grass when your pet stands or lies on the infected ground and in they go. Dogs have their own species of hookworm that's not adapted to humans.

I forgot to mention last post that this current provider accepts PayPal, so there's no messing with Bitcoin.

Many people harvest hookworm eggs from their own stool, mature them into larvae and self-inoculate. They use a microscope and consume some supplies but overall it's a much cheaper way to go if you can pull it off. I haven't gone there yet. A topic for another blog post.
