A friend has recommended crushing up wormwood with honey and feeding it with a syringe as a cure for worms. Has anyone else heard of this or tried it? I have lots of wormwood growing around my pens. Have also heard of giving them crushed garlic the same way, instead of just putting it in the water. I used the minced garlic you can get in jars. Saves crushing a clove myself. Anyone else tried this? Mike
