coccidia occuring in dragons in small amounts being fairly harmless, the drugs to treat the small amount is potentially more harmful, but when stress or other circumstances cause the amount to multiply it can be harmful to the dragon and need to be treated. I dont know about coccidia being beneficial to a dragon but perhaps the small amount of pin worms he is speaking of could have benefits to a point, but when they are in numbers to have an adverse effect the benefits are outweighed by the harm it can do the animal and would need treatment.
