Ever thought about deworming yourself?

[LauraLeigh]

Ok.... I am at work, it's quiet and boring today... I read this whole thread... My co-worker can't figure out why I look so..... Disturbed..... LOL

 

[Southpaw]

I still think about this thread all the time. LOL but I haven't gotten the courage to deworm myself.

I wonder if a tapeworm would help with weight loss . . . . . .

Well it would be inside you, so probably not. I'm so glad this thread doesn't have pics.

OMG I'm 37 and have never been wormed! i have been around dogs since the day I was born and i walked barefoot when I was a kid. I wonder if a colonoscopy would show worms?

that medicine only kills pin worms what about all of the other worms? I want something that covers all of them.:yikes:

Nope.

Ah, well, it was a thought, since dogs who have tapeworms always seem to get skinny . . . . Can you imagine marketing that as the latest easy weight loss gimmick? ROFL!

Probably fit right in with half the other crap out there. "Ingest these tapeworms, take speed, and wear this body condom."

You'd have to swallow fleas, I'd guess . . . People eat chocolate covered ants and crickets, so . . . There's always a market segment that will swallow anything if you say it will take off weight without having to exercise or change their diet

There is an urban myth that the Victorians swallowed tapeworm eggs to stay slim. I've never seen any literature on it though!

Tapeworms do not absorb enough to have a significant impact on the host's body unless it's a ridiculously heavy infestion.

I've seen more fat dogs with tapes than skinny dogs. I've also seen someone collecting all the tapeworm segments their dog left in their BED because they didn't know what they were :yikes:

Makes you really want to make sure you don't get a flea infestation...ewwwwwwwwww

honestly I've been feeling horrible lately and I'm wondering if I haven't picked up something from the many many dogs I work with.

I wonder what I can use to worm myself here.

Take it and tell me what happens.

LOL I don't know why I'm so scared to do it?? Maybe I just don't want to know the truth lol.

I took about 3000 dollars according to my pharmacist of ivermectin. Which didn't fix anything that is going on with me. but I figure i probably don't have to worry about other things. This one, nothing kills.

Some posts here say you need time to go to the bathroom as often as needed...and I haven't really had the chance to do that...

Hurls copiously all over the place!!!! :yikes:

 

[cloudcandy]

This is the grossest thing I have ever read...I feel ill

 

[Kristen1980]

This thread is gross and is making my skin crawl! Cant imagine worms falling out of my bum, ohmygoodness I would just die!

Thanks! Now Im paranoid!

lol I should probably worm myself... Keeva is nasty and eats poop at daycare. She's had tapes and giardia so far. I'm just gonna put her a regular worming schedule because as a sh!t eater it's inevitable.

So yeah... I should probably worm myself. LOL. The thought doesn't really bother me, actually. It should, but it doesn't. I think working in at a boarding kennel has made me numb to gross.
