Space Aliens? Oh, don't you just wish! Common parasites of the human body
(1) The hookworm latches on the walls of the colon with its sharp teeth where it feeds on blood.
(2) The tapeworm is the longest parasite. A mature adult can lay a million eggs a day. (3) Tapeworm eggs embedded in the colon. (4) The roundworm can grow to be 20 inches (50 cm) long and lay 200,000 eggs per day. (5) Pinworms migrate outside the colon during the night to lay
their eggs around the anus. This causes the nightly itching of many unsuspecting victims.
The lovely photos and educational descriptions (no need to thank me), give you some idea of what must have greeted Anthony Franz, man of the world, after passing a 9-foot tapeworm which emerged from his nether regions. He was fortunate, they have been known to send eggs circulating to the human brain and eye as well as other
areas.
Yes, I know it's so pedestrian to avoid Sushi, and for that matter steak tartar. I'd wager one look at a 9 foot tapeworm which had grown familiar with you, and everything you ate for the rest of your life would be cooked to a charcoal briquette.
Franz contends the worm came from a salmon salad at Shaw's Crab House in 2006, after which he fell violently ill. Once the worm emerged, a pathologist identified it as a type particular to fish, such as salmon. Shaw seeks a mere $100,000. which should be enough to impress the restaurant to be cautious, although they claim to have somehow conducted an investigation and are certain it didn't emerge from their restaurant.
Difficult to believe, but in the turn of the century, women were sold a weight loss cure. "Sanitized tape worms." No wonder the fainting couch was so popular in that era as well as smelling salts. It would take more than that to bring me 'round if I met up with an alien from within!
