How the hell do I get rid of mechanites

[blub01]

So a couple of my colonists got sick of sensory mechanites recently, and I would like to get rid of them. I do not, however, know how to do it. The tooltip in the health tab seems to indicate that they cannot be removed, only kept in check, and I didn't find anything on the wiki about it, so I'm asking here.

Every minute without an answer means a minute my colonists have to endure under intense pain, so better be quick about it XD

They go away on their own after like 10-20 days.

Nevermind, they're gone.

I hope muscle parasites do, too. Also, I think it quite odd that muscle parasites reduce manipulation on a colonist who has two f*cking bionic arms.

well, to be fair, you actually use all kinds of muscles in your torso while using your arms

Muscle parasites and gutworms go away after 8 treatments, which is about 16 days if you are timely with the treatments. Don't waste medkits or herbals on them, it doesn't help, it's always 8 treatments, of any kind.

Yes, but the effect should be at least reduced.
