Come on - not too many people get tape worms. You need to really work at it to get one.

well if you saw this meatmarket you would be scared too, i mean they let dogs walk around in their store.

i think it would be cool if i could train the tapeworms to attack on command, like id be standing there and some one cuts infront of me in line then i say some something like" get em" then the worms crawl out of my ass and slither down my leg and then lodge themselfs in the offender and render him psycotic.

[VAPORBLADE]

Or if you could take one for a walk ,with a leash.

[mikegar]

that would be kinda cool. it could be labled as an "alternative" pet.

tapeworms scare the fuck out of me.

has anyone heard about the old wives tales of getting rid of them? like starving the person for a long time, then putting a drop of milk on their tongue, and the worm comes up to drink it and they grab the worm and pull it out?

i've heard a similar version about the extrication of the worm. first have the person fast for a period of time. then wave a piece of rancid meat in front of the mouth. have a piece of dowel handy so that when the worm peers up through the throat you can grab its head and conveniently roll it up on the dowel like a kite string-

whether or not it is true- kind of doesn't matter

I don't know... whatever...

A South African friend of mine had one (in South Africa) and used the above-mentioned method to get rid of it. He didn't eat for three days, his wife cooked a big, meaty stew, and he opened his mouth over a hot bowl of it. The worm crawled right out.

gross

[mikegar]

so hows the weather in your neck of the woods SpecM?

[Ray Smoodiver]

Haha they don't crawl out of your mouth.

The old skool technique to get rid of them was to starve the person and only eat nuts, which bombard the worms, and provide no food for them.

Then you boil a pot of milk, and sit bare assed on the pot while the milk steams, and the worms crawl out of your ass, at which point you wind them round a dowel.
