The best protocol for PP treatment is 5 days on, 5 days off and 5 days on again. The 2nd treatment is to kill 2nd generation parasites. PP can't kill eggs.
The parasite most likely is with your fish all the time. It's impossible that the parasite comes with the frozen food as someone suggested.
Good luck.

Thanks for the instructions, I wondered if it was a one time dose or ongoing. I don't have any feather dusters but loads of bristle worms. I hope the 3 that seem affected can hold on a few more days.

Nope on the cod, I don't like seafood, so have no clue, but seeing worms on food would be enough to turn me off it if I did eat it.....gross
