Yeah... Sometimes we like to forget that we are animals.... Getting rid of worms is a piece of piss... Just get some worming medicine (like cough syrup) Not sure if its available over the counter in a chemist but just a bit of that stuff and u can wave (or poo) or poo and then wave those worms goodbye.

This information does not come from experience

A little bit of RTE Two gained knowledge is a dangerous thing...

Was this the programme that was originally aired on BBC last year? Body Snatchers or something like that...if so, it's got the dubious honour of being the only visual image (or sequence thereof) to make me feel physically ill. And I watch The Operation while eating, without any problems.

Worms = nnnnghhudddlllghhrrghhhUGH.

How do you know the parasite isn't your soul? I'll bet James Brown has a big lump of tapeworm in him.

Ye I saw that programme last night, it was really interesting I have to say!
We dont all have these parasides things in our bodies we only contract them if we go to forgein countries and get bitten by some insect of if we eat contaminated food or basically if we dont wash our hands after going to the toilet.
Did you hear them say that there is some fish thing in the waters in those forgein countries that crawls up guys penises!! watch out!

Monty - the one and only

Hrm. I was sure they werent going to show him sitting there taking a tapeworm-flavoured sh*t, but uh...yeah...Network 2 hits a new low. (and by low I mean high.)

I managed to watch about 5 minutes of this horrible show.
When that american guy showed "Mikey" in the little jar, I just had to switch off :eek:

That depends whether you consider mitochondria to be parasites or not. An integral part of our cells now but I read somewhere that they originated with parasitic organisms which developed a symbiotic relationship with the cells of our very remote ancestors.

I saw that series on BBC. I can't remember whether it was in that programme or a later one but there was a researcher saying that the rise of allergies in developed countries could be linked with the disappearance of worms and similar parasites from most peoples' environments. Our immune systems don't get "tuned up" by exposure to such parasites and start responding instead to lesser threats. They showed a doctor treating a rare bowel disorder by infecting the patient with hookworms as far as I remember.

In the book filth by irvine welsh the eponymous protagonist has a tapeworm living inside him who provides comentary from its point of view throughout the novel.
He poos it out at the end though.
Don't read this book. It is distasteful.
