Parasite

Posted by lincoln61 @lincoln61, Oct 4, 2022

I have a friend that has been fighting a bird parasite for years. He has become a host to the parasite and cannot get any help to medicate and kill the parasite. Can you advise?

There are physicians, infectious disease specialists, who specialize in this area of medicine. Can you share the name of parasite and where your friend has received treatment in the past?

...gosh never heard of this before... is it caught from a bird or from eating bird meat such as partridge etc?

I second the infectious disease specialist recommendation. And maybe a tropical disease specialist depending upon the bird species and diagnosis. My brother picked up a parasite on vacation in the tropics, likely from under-cooked fish, and it wreaked havoc on his health until finally correctly diagnosed and treated. He was spared losing a kidney and severe liver damage so these things can get serious fast.
