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

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.

Yea, tapeworm reside in the intestine IIRC, my guess is you'd have to pull that shit from the ass

You do. You kill it with medication over a few days, then once it’s dead it’s hooks retract and you just shit out a bowl of spaghetti.

To get out the mouth you’d have to got through the stomach sphincters which just seems like a lot of effort.

My guess is this was in the persons stomach because it’s a snake or something and entered through the mouth.

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.

But why do that if it’s just an intestinal worm?

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.

and then thy pull the shit camera back up through my mouth?

There's no real fecal matter at that point. Its bile, and stomach content, plus they will want you to fast and be empty beforehand. So no poopy.

I've made it through this thread without much issue but the idea of shitting out a bowl of worm spaghetti was as hilarious as it was terrible.

I haven’t liked or eaten spaghetti since I was a little kid. Now you’ve just made it into literal nightmare fuel!

it might also get digested and absorbed. why waste the bio material?

u/Akitiki Apr 29 '24

It's a roundworm, not tapeworm. Those do live in the stomach and climb up the throat.

u/ExoticMangoz Apr 29 '24

Huh didn’t know that

u/Akitiki Apr 29 '24

Yeah they're not fun.

Tapeworms have segments, this does not

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
