[Jacob-list] WORMERS - None user Question.

[Chovhani]

Made me think too. It's one of the things we use as part of our non-chemical
worming regime. I don't think we count for the purpose of this survey
because we do attempt to kill worms, we just don't use "wormer" to do it, we
use mostly herbs. It does work, we have no worms to speak of, but we aren't
doing "nothing", we're just doing it differently.

For the believer no evidence is necessary for the nonbeliever none is
possible

Hi all,

Isn't Basic H soap considered a wormer, though, by many shepherds?  What is
the definition of a wormer?  My definition---some added substance that kills
or repels the parasites---
