Extra protein! Free!

Extra protein! Free!

just be sure to overdose on vitamin B12 daily and you and your new pet will both be very happy.

I heard if you get one of those worms you lose a lot of weight. Maybe I should eat more raw salmon.

How can one know if he or she has tape worms in the body, if those worms is not giving him or her any uncomfort or illness (yet)? Oh my, I have swallowed so much sashimi all these years, can someone recommend me a good pesticide?:confused:

After watching Takeshi's programme Unbelivable world about Bacteria called Viro vulnificus very recently and now reading the above article, I think I have decided to stop eating sashimi. Thay are saying these bacteria is on the rise due to the global warming.

[quote]from wikipedia: Vibrio vulnificus causes an infection often incurred after eating seafood, especially oysters; the bacteria can also enter the body through open wounds when swimming or wading in infected waters,[2] or via puncture wounds from the spines of fish such as tilapia. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and a blisteringdermatitis that is sometimes mistaken for pemphigus or pemphigoid. Severe symptoms and even death can occur if the bacterium enters the bloodstream—something more common in people with compromised immune systems or liver disease.[4].....

Vibrio vulnificus infection has a mortality rate of 50% with the majority of patients dying within the first 48 hours of infection. The optimal treatment is not known, but in one retrospective study of 93 patients in Taiwan, use of a third-generation cephalosporin and a tetracycline (e.g., ceftriaxone and doxycycline, respectively) were associated with an improved outcome.[5] Prospective clinical trials are needed to confirm this finding, but in vitro data supports the supposition that this combination is synergistic against Vibrio vulnificus.
Vibrio vulnificus often causes large, disfiguring ulcers which require extensive debridement or even amputation.

Don't take offence to this mate, but don't be a pussy. Shit, if you worry so much about what's going to kill you or make you sick, you'll never live life. Fuck it all, smoke it all, eat it all, then come back for seconds if you're still on two feet. That's the only way to be happy.

A tapeworm makes a great companion.
Where you go, he goes.
What you eat, he eats.
Where you shit, he shits.
What more could you want?

Damn straight

Thank you, but I only asked for some recommendation on pesticide, not life consultancy. I was just thinking it is stupid being killed by some sashimi's bacteria, they are not even my favorite food.

It's stupid being hit by a car when crossing the street, but shit happens. Now butch up and eat some fish.

[Big Booger]

So I am assuming cooking the fish kills the parasite? What about freezing it? And is it just a special kind of salmon or does any old salmon give you this parasite?

Give it a day at -10 degrees C.

It depends, it is stupid, if he or she is messaging or talking on the phone.

Tina's a mom so she probably worries more about these things than single guys bent on self destruction like myself.

Yup! She probably worries more than that scatter brained Aussie bird that is always "....messaging or talking on the phone....".

OI!! I am only messaging or talking when you are trying to call!!

Care and feeding of your tapeworm

Treatment
Praziquantel and niclosamide are pistorical treatments that should no longer be used as first line therapy in developed countries; they result in destruction and disintegration of the worm which may make it impossible to confirm that the scolex (head of the worm) has been passed (the only way to confirm cure). Praziquantel or niclosamide should only be used in situations when endoscopy is not available or is not possible.

The preferred treatment for all tapeworm infections is injection of diatrizoic acid into the duodenum, which causes the worm to detach and be passed whole.

Prevention
Avoid ingestion of raw freshwater fish. Adequate cooking or freezing of freshwater fish will kill the encysted fish tapeworm larvae. Also, because human feces is an important mechanism for spreading eggs, proper disposal of sewage can cut down on infection of fish and thus of humans.

It is interesting they refer to in ingestion of raw "freshwater" fish. I am sure that salmon that start -- and normally end -- their lives in fresh water are included here.

Wait long enough for treatment, and I am sure the "passed whole" part can be pretty exciting.

Amazing! I didn't mention any names and look who jumps right in with a response. Do I detect some guilty feelings here?

The 10 meter worms give it a warm squishy feel inside.

But did you have to mount it after passed it?

Did you give me red snot for this one?

[Greji]

Why would I give you red snot? I mean you are just hassling me as normal, I mean like it is nothing unusual for me....
