Last week I received (as expected) 40 hookworm organisms! Hooray! I inoculated on August 5, and felt the itch and got a nice rash.

These are of course great things because it means that it took (technically at least.) Hopefully this inoculation "woke the worms up" from their "nap" while I was taking antibiotics, and I will start to be feeling some good effects in the next couple of weeks.
It is difficult to tell how I am doing overall because I have been under some serious stress in my life right now which undoubtedly has an impact on my symptoms and overall health. I'm trying to keep things as regular as possible. I'm excited to go on vacation on Saturday and relax by the ocean in Cape Cod... I'll post another update in the next couple of weeks, especially if I notice some good differences!
Thanks for reading!
