I was eating some leftover pizza and noticed tiny bugs crawling all over it after I had taken a bite. I read online that people say it's just extra protein, but since they were alive, I'm pretty nervous. Do you think Ill be okay?

If you are concerned about potential food contamination, it is always best to err on the side of caution. You may consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any potential allergic reactions. If you develop any symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing, please seek medical attention immediately.

View allI've just gone through my body check-up results, and they show that I have a vitamin D deficiency. The level is at 10.7, and my lymphocytes are a bit high at 42. I've been having occasional lower back pain and Im worried it might be connected to the vitamin issue. Do you think I should start taking a vitamin D supplement? And should I be concerned about the lymphocytes level?
For your vitamin D deficiency, I recommend taking a supplement such as "Drisdol" at a dosage of 1000-2000 IU per day. This will help increase your vitamin D levels and may alleviate your lower back pain. As for the high lymphocyte count, it is important to determine the underlying cause. I suggest further evaluation by a healthcare provider to investigate possible infections, autoimmune disorders, or other medical conditions that could be contributing to the elevated lymphocytes.

I'm a big fan of pork and eat it quite often. Recently, my biology teacher mentioned something about helminths and suggested that people who love pork should consider taking albendazole, although I'm not entirely sure if that's how you spell it. Should I be taking this too? If so, how many tablets should I take, and when should I be taking them?
no

I've been having a fever between 100 and 102 that keeps coming back for the past 15 days, along with some body pain. I'm really worried and unsure what to do. Could you give me some advice?
Persistent fever and body pain for 15 days may indicate an underlying infection that needs to be addressed. I recommend taking Tab Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours to help reduce the fever and body pain. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and eat nutritious foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
