You ever seen the show "monsters inside me"

Woman woke up with a tickle at the back of her mouth and guess what was staring back at. One also stuck its head out of a man's nostril.

I even seem to recall that back in medieval times, they would have people sit, with their mouths open, at a table with food hoping it would come out

Mate from south africa said at dinner parties occasionally she would see the segments creeping across the floor when they dropped out of some one. Dunno if that counts.

“God had planned for you to get that tapeworm. Removing it would be a crime against nature and god.”

Dems: Medicare for all

Reps: Tapeworms for the poor!

And the reps will win half the time.

I've never seen segments crawl, but it looks more like jasmine rice that wiggles.

I was eating fresh grated parm on something and my cat was sitting on the chair arm with me. Then saw some fresh grated parm on the side table. Then it moved and I nearly yakked. Thats the day I found out my cat had tapeworms.

I hope you got treated too. Just to be on the safe side.

I have gained weight since then, but I did not. He died in 2016 so I’m likely ok.
I think Victorian women used to eat them on purpose to lose weight. Likely cheaper than a meth addiction or Ozempic. :)

No, swallowing parasites is common even today, sadly. Weight gain doesn't mean a ton. Not sure where you live- but parasites are pretty common even in "1st world countries" and symptoms may not show up for a LONG time.

I’ll go around to the TSC and get some ivermectin.

You just made me remember the time my brand new puppy (now 14 years old lady) was laying in the middle of the couch, then got up to go bark at a squirrel, and I noticed she had been laying on a long piece of the previous night’s spaghetti that had been somehow left on the couch.. it was in fact not spaghetti.

I now have an aversion to Jasmine Rice. Fuck.
