There have been very few reports from self-treaters describing the experience of COVID-19. Most comments from those in this community have described how they began to show signs of what appeared to be a viral infection but which soon resolved, or followed a course very similar to that of a bout of influenza, leaving most of these individuals uncertain as to whether they had had COVID-19 or not. The marked absence from this community of reports of severe illness attributed to COVID-19 may, itself, be suggestive of a beneficial role for helminths.

{{Quote|indent}}I had a CONFIRMED case of Covid-19 and I am hosting about 15-20 NA. The virus came like a quick storm for me. Day 1, I had a fever of 101-2 degrees all day and severe body aches. Day 2, my fever completely subsided and I've been slowly recovering ever since. I'm not sure if my NA had any role to play. I'm 7 days from onset and still dealing with some fatigue and loss of smell/taste. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/permalink/3325294814193117/]{{Quote|/indent}}<!-- Angad Sandhu -->

{{Quote|indent}}I came down with COVID but I wouldn’t consider my aches more severe than I usually get when I’m ill. I’m generally all aches, no fever. I had a lingering odd feeling in my respiratory tract but nothing severe. Also a headache after the first two days, followed by total loss of smell that has still not completely returned. I was never super fatigued but the aches lingered a bit. I only host 5 NA and it’s time to redose.

{{Quote|indent}}It lasted 5-6 days total. I still have a mild sore throat but otherwise I’m recovered. My symptoms (per the usual with NA) were quite different from others. Two friends of mine, who are both considered healthy, are still having symptoms. (One of them infected me). They are coping with a continued cough & congestion.

{{Quote|indent}}Had covid (confirmed by positive PCR test). Light cold symptoms for couple of days. No meds, just vitamins.  I’d inoculated with 25 NA (3 months previously).

{{Quote|indent}}Day 1 was a really rough start, and I was still feeling bad on day 2, but the fever had gone. By day 3, I was doing almost everything as normal, and, on day 4, I can honestly say I'm fine again. Out of 8 friends of mine - all in their 30s - that had COVID two weeks before, or at the same time as me, 6 took 2 weeks to start feeling normal and they were really sick. One took 1 week and one recovered in 3 days. I used to be the one that was sick for weeks and took forever to recover.

{{Quote|indent}}Both my husband and I host NA and we have both had COVID - a very mild dose for both of us, not even a sore throat. [https://www.facebook.com/groups/htsupport/posts/5499503683438875/?comment_id=5500587119997198]{{Quote|/indent}}<!-- IW -->
