Parasites are more prevalent in our environment than often acknowledged, and medications like Elenia, effective against protozoa such as Giardia, can offer reliable treatment options. This medication is well-tolerated and originally designed for children under two, making it a conservative choice for those with potential exposure history. In cases of chronic or complex parasite loads, Elenia is preferred over herbal alternatives, which may pose risks of liver toxicity if used long-term. Alternative herbs like mimosa putica and diatomaceous earth can also be considered, but collaboration with a healthcare provider is crucial for effective management. For those not currently experiencing illness but concerned about potential exposure—such as from consuming sushi—diatomaceous earth can be a benign option to explore.
