I just did, I bought a pack of sardines today and as I was eating I saw this weird thread like thing hanging from one of the sardines, I looked closer and sure enough, it's a tapeworm.
>>22179818what brand and where. srs issue and u need to call the fda.
>>22179822>whereEurope, but it's a serious issue. It's cooked so it's not dangerous but it's disgusting. Im really ashamed because I had paired this with rice. Now im gonna have to throw this away and cook something else. When I just kicked my feet back to watch television.
>doesnt say brand
>>22179818WHAT BRAND YOU MOTHER FUCKER
i remember a ripleys believe it or not episode about a guy who had a tapeworm and in the dramatization he was on the toilet with this huge worm pulled out of his anus and he said "OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE" and cut it with scissors and the uncut half shot back up into his anus
>>22179846I threw it away. I don't really know, btt I thought that the taste was off. It was disgusting.
>>22179852Smells like bullshit
>>22179818>concerned about tapeworm>doesn’t clean their food surfacesHmm…
>canned sardines from Europe
>>22179856No, here's a picture of the sardines. It was some popular brand but I can't recall the name, im not gonna go through the trash to find it.>>22179857It's salt.
>>22179818>Have you guys ever found a tapeworm in your food?no.
parasites are extremely common in fish. 99.99% of them cant hurt you and 0% of dead ones can do anything to you. they process thousands of tiny fish a day they cant inspect every single one
>>22179862>It was some popular brand but I can't recall the nameBullshit.
>>22179818>Have you guys ever found a tapeworm in your food?NO I DON'T EAT POOP
>i can't remember the brand of sardines i bought today that supposedly had a tapeworm in itsurely someone wouldn't go on the internet and lie?
>>22179818I think that’s the spinal cord, there’s a few posts about this on reddit
>have you ever found a tapeworm in your food. No. But soon after I got a shelter cat like a decade ago I found little sesame seed looking things in his cat bed and the places he slept. At the time I was eating a sesame seed bagel for breakfast every morning and assumed kitty had got fallen seeds on his fur from the floor and they fell off as he was rolling around in his sleeping places. I cleaned up and didn't have a sesame bagel for a few days and the seeds were back in his bed and I was thinking "what the fuuuucccckkkkkk, nooooooo" as I was holding a "seed" between my fingers and I realized it was a tapeworm segment. Imagine picrel but the segments are separated.
I thought I did when I was eating some porkchops once. Literally had to stop eating because I was so repulsed. I asked around and most seemed to agree that it was just a very unappetizing string of fat or tendon or vein or somethingUsed to have a pic but it seems I deleted it
>>22179862>im not gonna go through the trash to find it.why not? it's right there. you could do this very easily
>>22179976yeah i noticed these on my cat's anus one time. fleas carry the eggs and they can grow in the cat if they cat eats the flea. my apartment came pre-loaded with fleas from the family that was there before.
That doesn’t look like a tapeworm. European education fails yet again.
>>22179986The cat or dog tapeworm can also infect humans if they somehow swallow an infected flea. Like in their sleep.Delouse and deworm your pets. And yourself!
>>22179851
>>22179976Well, what happened? Did you deform you and kitty?
>>22180145>Did you deform you and kitty?
>>22180145Oh, sorry. I took kitty to the vet immediately with a plastic baggie of the tapeworm segments. Vet said yup tapeworms and prescribed a dewormer. As for me, the vet said I wasn't at risk because I didn't let him sleep in my bed and he only slept in specific areas like his cat bed and I noticed it a week or two after getting him from the shelter. He didn't have fleas and the vet said he most likely got the tapeworms from other cats at the shelter. It was weird though because I took him to the vet a few days after I got him and I don't remember if they gave him a dewormer or not. He had ear mites and they prescribed anti mite medicine but I guess they didn't think he needed a dewormer which seems kind of odd to not give a shelter cat who was just adopted but I'm not a vet so idk. It's been a decade since then and I didn't end up with tapeworms and he's never had any more parasite trouble.
>>22179851I believe it
>>22179986>just staring at my cat's anus. As if being a male cat owner wasn't weird enough
>>22180558sometimes you just can't help it
>>22179893i hope you're right because now I 100% believe I've eaten something like this before and I just thought it was part of the fish. damn... and my asshole does itch sometimes...
>Europe we need grok to fuck up and just nuke the shit out of the entire continent
>>22180558If you've ever owned a cat or dog you know they stretch and shine their asshole right in your face probably 20 times a day you get used to it
>>22179818Yeah some live ones several times in raw fish. Its gross but you just have to man up and eat it anyway.
>>22179851I remember seeing that shit and it fucking was uncalled for, no warning, ya wtf. Wife cuts it, it's slurps back in. I freaked out harder than they did
>>22180888what (you) need is a shower
>>22179851Chubbyemu has a video about a young woman who intentionally infected herself with tapeworms to lose weight.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAXfqISRZT4
>>22181290I remember one story from 1000 ways to die or monsters inside me where a women bought "fast acting diet pills" from SEA country and it was tapeworm in some form. was eating fried chicken and other junk foods while losing like 30 pounds in 2 weeks or something like that. kind of thought I have one even though I'm pretty sure I haven't eaten anything that could've caused it because I've been losing weight even though I wasnt really dieting or exercising and theres some stomach bulging but I've been fat since childhood so not really a change, but my waist is still shrinking and I'm down 3 belt notches this year.
>>22181458they sell dewormer at Walmart for cats and dogs I'm sure if you had tapeworms you could just go to Walmart and buy dewormer and eat it
>>22181458>>22181463Tapeworms are really hard to kill, because they embed their heads (scolex) into the intestinal lumen, like ticks. Their bodies can be shed or destroyed but if the head isn't dislodged they will just regenerate eventually. They are immune to almost anything you eat or drink (including medicine) as they have evolved to tolerate everything that humans ingest. To fully get rid of them you need to fast for a very long time, like Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed did before founding their respective religions - or take a mild dose of poison, not enough to kill you, but enough to kill a large worm inside of you.I had fish tapeworms after eating a lot of sushi in SE Asia. Do not recommend
Unlike freshwater parasites, most parasites adapted to marine life cannot infect the human body, making them safe.While tapeworm infections can occur in salmon and trout, fish intended for raw consumption are typically treated with ultra-low-temperature freezing to kill the parasites.
>>22180978I've had 5 dogs and none of them have ever done that. Shine? WTF?
>>22181546shine like they cleaned it so good its shiny>>22181545the worm is still in the food though, dead or not.>>22181526saw a video called spaghetti worms on youtube like 20 years ago and it was a surgical documentation and its put me off both spaghetti and ever eating sushi. doctor was pulling hand fulls of worms out this guys belly. it was some surreal shit. looked like a nightmare.
>>22181526>Jesus, Buddha and Mohammedwow surely I'll believe dumbest person in this thread on their opinions. thanks for the input, Prikash.
>>22179818>complaining about getting extra proteinpuuussyyyyy
>>22181546So you never paid attention to them then
