The only reason I keep Facebook is for unhinged stuff like this


Why do you know whether or not doctors check for parasites? Are you a medical professional or otherwise associated with the profession?
I’ve had plenty of physicals, and a fecal sample was never part of them.
In developed nations, testing for worms isn’t needed unless the symptoms point towards worms.
It’s kinda like how they don’t check you for polio or the bubonic plague as part of a regular visit either.
So you’re a lay person with no expertise or insight into the signs they look for to determine if checking for parasites are necessary?
I’ve had a bunch of physicals too and I don’t think that qualifies me, in any way, to comment on medical standard practices.
