    This is the second worm found in this guy…

    For unexplained reasons, the [first] worm was not identified, and he was not treated with anti-parasitic drugs after the discovery.

    I’m trying to imagine pulling a parasite out of a guy and not even wondering what kind it is.

    It was still alive, and slithered and squirmed on the surgical table.

    Great.

        It’s not hazing. I’ll bet it was during the Cobra Gold exercise, during which Thailand hosts various militaries including the US Marines. Part of the training traded is survival skills specific to the jungle environments Thailand provides, which includes eating of animals, dead or alive. Spiders, scorpions, snakes… one of the traditional hallmarks being the drinking of cobra blood as an alternative to being able to find clean water.

          Or ever. Unprotected sex meaning you have to fish out the little bugger, though it’d make avoiding unwanted pregnancy easier. You’d just need a little net, maybe a bait trap.

          tapeworms being parasitic have no digestive system, they absorb nutrients through thier cuticles.

        tapeworms have no digestive system, so they absorb nutrients through thier integument, probably just living off of the body fluids. this is how intestinal tapeworms absorb food too.
