Look for a source: It sounds like you are being re-infected by something in your home like bedding or towels- Make sure that you take the mebendezole at least one week apart for the eggs that hatch after the first dose I don't know much about black walnut hull and it is likely there is not a lot of scientific evidence for it- medicine sure cure 95% of the time Here is a helpful web site- good luck! http://www.medpagetoday.com/InfectiousDisease/PublicHealth/2020
