Parasites..
Okay, last night I was tuned to Discovery Channel (or was it National Geographic?) on the tv. They are showing this documentary about parasites that is living in/on humans.
It shows that on your face, an average of a several species of parasites living on your pores and dead skins. I wonder what kind of environment LMD’s shop which is full of dead skin would make?
It also shows how some parasite will cause a guy to lose his eyesight. Apparently some bacterias went into his eyeball and start to multiply. Eventually, they multiplied to the extend that he can’t see anymore. Another caused elephantgitise (wrong spelling). Thats the swollen effect you see on some people, think Elepant Man.
Another woman had a maggot crawling around in a hole in her head. Some mosquito or fly had implanted the egg into her head when she was having holiday in Costa Rica and when the egg hatched, the maggot was between the scalp and her skull in her head. She can actually felt the thing move! The doctors said that this is common, the way to remove them is to wipe vasline over the little hole which the maggot used to breathe, and then seal it up airtight so they suffocate to death.. then they can be easily removed coz the maggot has a little hook that hooks to the skin.
Don’t get me started about this parasite fish that hooks itself to the victim once they are near it. This fish is homes in to other fishes from the uric acid. But if you were to pee in the Amazon River, it will home into you and then swims up the penis.. and then hook itself there and drinks up your blood. This guy got it and he was in pain for 4 days before the doctor insert a tool to remove the bloody thing.
Last but not least, they asked a volunteer to swallow a cyst that consist of the egg of a tape worm for experiment sake. He did. After ten weeks, the tape worm matured and started to multiply itself. By the end of the experiment, it had grown to more than 3meters long and the guy shitted it out after taking a pill…
*turns pale green* i think my samosas are … turning turning in my tummy
gulp…scary!!!!!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!
Discovery Channel can be fascinating. I can watch it for hours on end, given the chance.
sometimes they tend to repeat the shows… so not nice liao.
Ooh, the first thing I do when I get home is turn on National Geographic and Discovery. Very soothing especially if a documentary about the underwater world and creatures are showing.
Btw, that is gross. I just had my lunch ya know!
GROSSSSSSS!
Agree what NG and Discovery are some of the better channels on TV. Discovery Food and Travel too.. though I don’t like the people from the program Travellers. Cook’s Tour is good.
One thing that gets on my nerves is the way the westerners pronouce Mandarin words.. so so out . hai.. they shouldn’t even try.
FF: you can dun read it during lunch mah..
eugghhhh!!!!!!
*splat*
thanks mandrake. losing weight has never been more fun by reading your entry.
This is a common thing amongst raw eaters: all people have maggots in them..at least, many. Drink freshly sqeezed carrot juice for a week or more and eat/drink NOTHING else. The worms inside you will starve and die cause they need nasty stuff to feast on. So they come out in the toilet….look like maggots…ewww…I never pooped out any tho.
eeeewwwwkkkkkk …. lucky i read this post before my dinner …..
I watched it too!!! And was going to blog about it until…
I was most disgusted with the beef tape worm. Cuz it forces its way out through the skin!!! YARKS, can you imagine the pain!?! By the end of the film, I was screaming in a mixture of disgust, revulsion, horror, and amusement. Especially the part where he shat it out. Hahahahaha!
miryclay: you are welcome! glad to help!
aneki: err.. I think they do have a pill for this.. one day is all it takes.
snowystars: well.. good for you
LMD: gross hor?! I don’t think the beef tape worm force out of the skin right? It just came out with the stool. Heh, the part where he shat it out was funny. The camera went in there for like 1 sec, just nice when the white worm is coming out in a chunk.
I tell ya, everyone should watch this! I think tonight also have.
aneki: If I eat/drink nothing but fresh carrot juice for a week, I will most likely die before the worms inside me do. That, or I will turn orange - then die.
oh god mandrake… i saw that on discovery channel too! I swear i jumped into the shower right after!!!
The pulling out of the maggot from the womans head was reaaaallly bad!
knightofpentacles: can lah.. won’t die from just drinking only carrot juice for a week.. I got a friend who went thru detox for 7 days without solid food.
Onivorypetals: ah.. but do you know what lurks on the floor of your shower? Or in your toilet for that matter.. one can go bonkers just by thinking about it.
Oh seriously… so gross OMIGOD
Help me….
i was fortunate enuf to be eating my lunch as i read ur blog for the first time… regurgitation was a near miss…
j: You are welcome here anytime.. heh
I wanted to switch channel, but the show is just so facinating… morbid human
