Specifically this part below about
how Babesia interacts with cholesterol and how the over-the-counter weight loss pill Orlistat (sold in stores as Alli in the USA) is lethal for Babesia.
Please do read all the reviews and warnings before (if) trying it, I've heard Alli can cause some embarrassing "accidents" before making it to the bathroom lol...
----------------------
"Our experiments revealed that the parasite scavenges all its cholesterol requirements from the host cell (Fig. 5a) and that a disruption in cholesterol scavenging (as seen by treatment with MβCD) is lethal for the parasite, as it is prematurely ejected out of the RBC (Fig. 5d to g). Furthermore, we found that orlistat, which is a lipase inhibitor and prevents the conversion of TAGs to DAGs, stalls the egress of the parasite from the host, leading to a buildup of 4N and >4N parasite population (Fig. 6c and d) and disrupted parasite membrane structure (Fig. 6f to h and Movies S2 and S3).
