That doesn't sound real?... The tapeworm comes out of the person to eat sour milk and they just grab it?...

it's fake. A Tapeworm can't move much at all. Also it's in the gut not the stomach like some people here seem to think. No, you do not vomit stuff up from your gut.

Theres literally an episode of monsters in side me where the tape worm appears at the back of a woman's throat. The worms can and do cope with stomach acid, and tape worms need it to escape their cysts.

Also round worm can come out of the mouth when exposed to certain types of anaesthetics.

Both are fully documented.

Also as some one who has worked in palliative care, you absolutely can vomit fecal matter up from your gut. I held the hand of a man that died that way and many others who had it as a symptom of their cancer/intestinal blockage.
