WEEKS 6 & 7 Hookworm Symptoms Back Again
My hookworm symptoms are back again (like described before).
I contribute this to the eosinophilia that is described in the
studies at this stage of the initial infestation. A blood test
confirms it.
I know understand why I have these flu-like symptoms, it must be this
transient systemic eosinophilia (which is typical in this initial
phase) which increases my general allergy and appears like a "flu" -
because eosinophils are also present in allergic reactions. Medicine
suggests that a systemic eosinophilia can heighten allergy symptoms.
But within the next two weeks this eosinophilia should slump
considerably anyway.

WEEKS 8 & 9 Get Better Hookworm-wise
And really: The hookworm symptoms decrease from day to day (probably
due to a slumping eosinophil count).
