My Tank Thread
Counterargument... I recommend food soaking praziquantel and metronidazole to treat intestinal worms/internal flagellates, and I have personal experience using both medications to treat those issues.
However, when it became apparent that prazi resistant worms were a "thing" I began digging for alternative treatments. Based upon peer reviewed journals (and anecdotal evidence) I discovered that levamisole, flubendazole, fenbendazole could be used in lieu. I am currently experimenting with fenbendazole, but based upon what I had read I was confident in recommending it before I had actually used it myself.
Now, I made it clear to others I was recommending it without real life experience; but I thinking having to put that information in a different "subsection" is going a little overboard. Probably just saying you are recommending something without actual experience is sufficient.
Well said @HumblefishYea I agree with that! Just say what you recommend, but make it clear that you haven't tried it yourself! Nothing wrong with that! Or if you do try something and it didn't work out.....please share that too! [emoji16]
When I give advice it's always something either I have personally experienced or something that someone I know has experienced. I'll be the first to admit I'm not always right, and when I'm wrong and someone points it out to me I'm thankful that they corrected me and I know the correct answer for future reference. Nobody is right 100% of the time. Were all just trucking along and learning as we go with eachother
