Personal hypothesis based upon study of these issues is that "bugs" (bacteria, etc.) do not typically like anything that disrupts their cell walls (as they do not have a strong skin barrier like we do)/reproductive mechanisms/digestive systems. Hence, some of the "old wives' tales" are effectively true.
What I mean is that the Herbes de Provence have strong oils in them that are naturally antibacterial. Rosemary, Lavender, Oregano, Peppermint and Thyme, to name a few. Shiso, Nettle, etc. are all candidates here as well.
Some other plants also seem to disrupt bacterias and some even disrupt fungi (much tougher customers), and I find that here we often see plants that have terps in them (terpenes can be found in pine tar, eucalyptus, tea tree, and some others).
Selenium is also another metal/mineral that "bugs" hate, including fungi. That's why it's in your dandruff shampoo.
Oh, and silver also seems to be something the old wives knew about. Bacteria and even fungi strongly dislike metals of any kind, and really seem to hate silver. Drop a metal spoon in a batch of kombucha with the SCOBY. Come back tomorrow. The SCOBY is going to be dead.
The "online vet medicine/dewormers" JollyJoker is talking about is probably some combination of Diatomaceous Earth, HCQ, Albendazol, and some others. All of which work.
Lots of medicine out there, if you do the research and do not rely on Big Pharma.
What's up with oregano oil?
Oregano oil is a natural antibiotic, however it is worth having probiotics since it will eliminate all bacteria not just the bad guys.
