The article doesn't say if it worked. Says it caused stomach pain and parasite infection, but no mention of back pain.

Your brain is too busy worrying about the pain in your guts to worry about the pain in your back

Let the parasites cook, maybe they can fix it

No mention of helping her back pain, but it caused a lot of pain to 8 frogs though.

[–] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

Damn, poor frogs.

I hope she croaks 😏

This woman could be on the career fast track at RFK Jr's HHS!

Those poor frogs..

I mean

...

Did it work? 🐸

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was going to ask the same thing, but her being hospitalised because of it probably answers that.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

But how does her back feel? 🐸

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Article posted on a Wednesday of course

Sure, leave us hanging, Oddity Central.

Is she related to the old lady who swallowed a fly?

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She swallowed the frogs to catch the fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

In fairness to her, she swallowed a spider to catch the fly. That should solve it.

I'm kind of curious about the moon logic behind it, but I've spoken to enough people in the subway to know that there may be none.

Eight? One or two wasn't enough?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Dose matters, that's just pharmacology.
