Yeah but there can be eggs that don't get killed. And you could have spread those to other people. And they can get into other places in your body. Even your brain.

Parasites are horrible. It's idiotic to allow them in on purpose. Even if for some reason there seems to be some bizzare benefit. If you get weaker or sick from anything else they will take over your body. Hookworms can drain enough blood to make you really fatigued and anemic. They can block your intestines also. Make holes in your stomach. Endless reasons these things should be eradicated.

Bah, just another hippo apologist.

I can't find the radio show on hookworms I heard; maybe it wasn't TED. Too bad, it was pretty interesting. Here's an article on the theory...

It's not completely without risk, but the risks are pretty minimal, especially compared to afflictions the technique can help.

If I had Crohn's I might consider it.

Food allergies, probably not. It's possible they could make it worse.

I remember a TV show a few years back called Bite Me With Dr Mike. That guy would purposely give himself a tape worm or other kinds of worms. Several weeks later he would take a worm pill & then shit them out in a strainer to show the camera. Crazy stuff.

Getting rid of tapeworms is supposedly really easy. If diagnosed with one, your doctor will prescribe you a single pill (you only need to take one), and it kills the worm almost immediately. Then it comes out of your body via your poop.

When it does come out is it like one of those magic tricks where you pull on a piece of cloth out of a hat or something but it never seems to end?

I can picture the face all the analingus freaks would make when feeling then seeing one come out as they are tossing the salad. :biggrin:

Im pretty sure I saw a Japanese porn vid similar to this involving eels.
