    I guess they weren’t shy about baring their ass to all in the kingdom. What crossed my mind was… I know there had to be freaky perverts back then just like we have now. So did these creepy mf hang around outside, just waiting for some lady to go the bathroom? Ewwwww.

    Growing up an overweight kid I remember wanting to take these tapeworm pills so bad, or getting so sick/hurt that I’d fall into a coma and lose weight. Like, it was a legit dream of mine and I thought it was so normal. Growing up overweight does some things to your brain…

    I suppose these days the doctors can go fishing at the other end. Then you would be far less likely to die and for less likely 2 choke. My understanding is that the tool doctor puts up your butt for a colostomy is 26 ft long and the tapeworm grows bigger than that. And you just might starve to death.

    Shitting out a tape worm is one of my biggest body fears. That’s why I don’t fuck around with things that could give me them.

    Aren’t beef tapeworms the one that mainly set up in the intestines and pork tapeworms the ones that go for other organs and the brain? I remember reading that the eggs for the two types look identical so it near impossible to be certain you weren’t getting the more lethal of the two.

    One thing that isn’t mentioned is how risky surgery was in general at the time. Some doctors at the time were not the cleanest before going under the knife, so if somebody was going to get a tapeworm removed without the use of a hook, they would put themselves at risk of having an infection caused by uncleanly surgeons. A perfect example of this is James A. Garfield. After he got shot at a railway station in Maryland, he underwent surgery to remove the bullets and nurse his wounds. However, the doctors performing surgery on him did not have proper hygiene, and because of that, James developed an infection and died a little soon after. Granted, there were some doctors who did make sure to carry out hygiene precautions, but it was not always considered or even available at times.
