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.
Who’s your worm guy?
It was still alive, and slithered and squirmed on the surgical table.
Great.
Google how do I delete someone else’s account
*how to delete my eyes
Use a better search like Bing or duckduckgo. googol sucks and was never any good.
If it's Instagram you can ask their AI to do it for you.
The man’s only recollection of a possible exposure was eating raw snake meat during military service 50 years prior.
Based
Oh, it's just baby snakes
Oh, thank god the snake meat I ate during military service 50 years ago was cooked! 🥴
Imagine shooting a load and it crawls back up your dick for some reason.
What the fuck is wrong with you.
It would probably be as scary to be a girl having her first sex.
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.
You saw this and decided to share it.
Humans aren’t a definitive host for the worms, and they become destined to aimlessly wander through our meat sacks.
What a way with words!
What are they surviving on? It ain't like I got a pantry of snacks hidden in my groin.
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.
Good point, I didn't think about that. I get how they survive in the intestines but in the crotchal region what are they nibbling on?
tapeworms being parasitic have no digestive system, they absorb nutrients through thier cuticles.
Fuck this so much
Well when I had elective surgery they found a live anaconda in my groin
….
I’ll show myself out…

Sounds like he drinks unboiled lake/river water. Gross.
Nope. Nope nope nope.
"Hey babe, I got ten inches in my pants..."
"Probably not the type that you'd like tho."
Good thing he got to worm his way out of this dilemma.
I can’t tell if I’m more upset by the article or the fact that I laughed at this
Lifespan was 20-30 years. Least it could have done was pick up a case of beer.
In worm lore they're piloting this dude like an eva and their bravest keep getting taken by malevolent gods
Lovely. Encountered this post while eating and as I'm about to be full.
Let me guess, spaghetti?
Nan's old world recipe for groin worm marsala
