Dimilin X is safe and highly effective against anchor worms, which are not worms but crustaceans, so Dimilin X kill some other parasitic crustaceans too.
Josh of Ohio Fish Rescue taught me about Dimilin X. He uses it ALWAYS and I now do too when we have anchor worm infestation, which though happens rarely.
I see no reason whatsoever to reinvent the wheel, when Dimilin X is so excellent, used per label. Josh and us have huge volumes if water to treat, tens of thousands of gallons, so we buy Dimilin X in half-gallon jugs.
If you need a little and can't afford it (you can find it easily as DrownedFish showed), come over and I will give you some.
Yes, salt may kill them too, but depending on the extent and age of the infestation, one may need a long and even repeated treatment and high salt concentration that will endanger the fish being treated too. I see no sensible reason to resort to salt.

Yup. Precisely. Good now, damaged inside, a bodybuilder on steroids. The worst case scenario for a consumer - buying a lemon having no ability ever to know it. Fish kicks the bucket. You think your fault - drive yourself nuts troubleshooting, experimenting, correcting... Go back to the LFS to buy more. Rinse. Repeat. The picture is glorious!
