I think i just expierienced my first herx. yay? It was very very harsh. More like the flu, lasting 25 hours with throwing up every 10 minutes, and severe Diarreah (sorry about the details) I had a high temp of 101. This started about 4 days after a new herbal treatment my LLMD put me on. Im now going to back it down to only 2 drops per day instead of 5. I hope it was a herx and not just some sort of rare food poisoning. I doubt it was the flu since none of the people around me have it. Im excited! Its about time these stupid bugs LEAVE!

It could have been a herx. I have a friend that herxed a lot like you described.

I hope you feel better! Sounds like you are happy to be killing those bugs.

Congratulations on killing off some of those buggers!!

I see that you are from Clearlake. We have a vacation house in Baylis Cove. We think I got sick from mosquito bites up there 23 years ago. Do you know if you got bit in Lake county? Just curious!!

I'm not a herx expert, but that doesn't sound like a herx to me.
It sounds more like a virus or something bad you may have eaten.

I would be leery of anything (abx or herbs) that would make me vomit and have dairrhea that severe.
