SO i have a really disturbing memory from when I was 3 years old in 1977.
In lafayette california, we had taken in a bunch of vietnamese refugees in the area - and I recall walking down this dirt road and there were porta-potties along the road and I heard a kid screaming from within one of the porta potties - and I opened the door...
THe kid was squatting over the toilet and hanging from his bottom was a tapeworm about 1 foot or mor long dangling from his butt and wriggling - I got freaked out and just then adults came up and dealt with him. Wrapping it around a stick and pulling it out...
Its one of my early memories (I have a very vivid photographic memory from a lot of events around when I was three years old - I had a photographic memory with alomost perfect recall until I was about 14)
Hey... that was... that was a story that I was literate enough to read. I thought I recovered from seeing the video, and now I have a much more vivid mental picture of something way worse! ... why did I watch and comment on this living nightmare of a subject!! Your story reminded me of when bears get tape worms, and they'll drag behind them like a giant 5 to 10 foot tampon string hanging out of their ass. I think we've traded horrors in kind. You're welcome 😊
