Oh, by the bye, I've heard that gardeners need to avoid

Lee.

I got's lots of opinions..but on this, I don't know. Don't
most anthelmintics work systemically? Or do they act
directly in the gut upon the parasites?

most are systemic, even the ones given orally. i give the
llamas & goats the shots though, mostly because that way they
get *into* the animal instead if all over me (and i'm more
worried about menengial worms in the brain/spinal cord than
gut worms).
i'm not sure if they would affect earthworms anyway.
did you know that there are no native earthworms in the US?
they're all imported.
