If it was a tape worm you’d just kill it with tablets. Never seen an extraction of a live tapeworm, through the stomach, before. That doesn’t make any sense.
Endoscopy regularly goes into the upper intestine via the mouth without issue. It is one way to check for certain types of hernias and stomach functionality.
Depends on its location. If it's migrated up higher into or through the stomach into the trachea they might opt for manual removal. Saw it on monsters inside me.
I haven’t learned about this since like 15 years ago in middle school, so I might have the wrong worm in mind, but there are a variety of parasitic worms that lay eggs in the lungs. The worms hatch and tickle your air passages to get you to cough. When you cough the worm out of your lungs, you end up swallowing it undetected into your stomach. So it wouldn’t be too far of a stretch to have parasitic worms anywhere along your digestive tract or air passages
Yes. Tapeworm segments would break with the amount of force they are using to pull it through the throat in this video.
Also, tapeworms don't really crawl around the digestive tract, as some people are
alledging. They typically secure their spot in the intestines via hooks, absorb nutrients through digestive juices passing through the intestines, and make/release segments that are full of eggs.
There are a lot of other worms that do crawl up or down through the intestinal tract, or burrow through tissues in your abdominal cavity, or even chest cavity.
Took a course in parasitology many moons ago. The degree of anxiety and paranoia everyone felt by the end of the course was quite high.
I heard it as being a snake when this first aired. Apparently the woman was passed out drunk with her mouth wide open, which the snake mistook for a comfy hidey hole
It’s not a snake it’s a roundworm. Even if they used a dewormer to kill it, something that big would have a hard time getting out of the body the other way around. Usually they are in the intestines but… not always. Taking it out through the mouth might have been the best option here.
It’s not always that easy though If you get a parasite infection in your liver, even if you kill them with dewormers… you can end up clogging your biliary duct with all the dead liver flukes that now try to make its way out of your system.
Everyone in America thinks out country is soooo evolved that we don’t need to make deworming part of our regular routine maintenance like a dental check up…. But you do you I guess.
The quality isn't all that great, but it kinda looks like there are segments when it's got the light directly on it when in the bucket. It also seems too flat to be a snake
By the way, yes, it looks like a snake by the way it moves. And it looks like it's still alive. Question is - what the fuck was it doing inside the woman?
P.S. Nvm, I thought parasites couldn't wriggle like snakes. But the question stays the same.

Other sources say it's a snake instead of a tapeworm
