How many have heard of "Akwaforum"? This is from 2001:
"Cowfish in Aquaria"
http://www.cowfishes.com/cowfishinaquaria.html
There are a few hot pepper-mint based treatments that work very well for external parasite diseases on cowfish. They cause the stress coat to slough off at an increased rate, taking the parasites along with it. Hence, the parasites are not provided with adequate time to reproduce on the host, and their cycle is broken.
I have been unable to track down the exact reference yet.
