* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_melon Bitter melon] (momordica charantia). This cucumber-shaped vegetable found in Asian markets is also known as karela, ampalaya and bitter gourd. Both fruit and seeds have been and still are used in a number of countries to treat pinworm infections, and for expelling parasites generally. However, the quantities quoted as being necessary in order to eradicate worms are rather large, for example two whole melons each day for seven to ten days, repeated after two months. It is therefore unlikely that normal dietary amounts of bitter melon will adversely affect helminths. | * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_melon Bitter melon] (momordica charantia).
