is that inside a person?

[andrewducker]

Yup. Have updated the entry.

just one tape worm?
christ. freaky.

i thought like dogs you would get tablets and shit them out, rather than having to get them yanked out.

[andrewducker]

Update - not a tape worm! Found genus. Updated entry. Am an idiot. And not awake yet!

[likeneontubing.livejournal.com]

ugh roundworm.

isn't that the same though? you'd take a pill and crap it out? i've never known anyone with worms and google doesn't tell me - just tells me education is the way forward to stop this parasite apparently!

it had some well nasty images when you first typed it in too!

Ascaris have been known to leave through the sinuses. Just imgaine, a shy little roundworm peeking out a nostril...

[likeneontubing.livejournal.com]

i'm sure you'd feel it hehe

[pseudomonas.livejournal.com]

Ugh indeed. And more than a billion people infected, apparently.

[likeneontubing.livejournal.com]

but where can we find info on the pills and crapping out VS invasive operation stuff.

that's what i wanna know hehe

[moosedevil.livejournal.com]

Ewwww. I actually feel sick after watching that!!!

[terminalmalaise.livejournal.com]

Ugh, nasty!

By the by, the last line of the recently edited Wikipedia article linked to in the comments currently reads:

"More than 1 billion people are affected by this infection called ANDREW .[2]"
