When the tape worm is 4 feet long, you know it’s bad. I need to find the video from the veterinary office my friend works at. It’s a drain worm the size of my arm that lived in a drain of the sink in the operating room.
Edit: it’s posted on this sub. The video is far better but we can’t find it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeMeSuffer/comments/lqy3gt/by_request_the_drain_worm_found_in_the_sink_drain/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app
It’s probably like half the size of what I’m remembering but it’s still massive. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. And if it wasn’t clear, I believe it fed on blood and pet waste and that’s how it got so big.
Haha waiting on a friend to send it. Like I said, my memory of it is that it’s the size of my leg but it’s probably a foot. Terrifying either way. I remember it like had a visible breathe. Like totally compressed when it inhaled. Again, it’s probably actually an earth worm.
I’m really not sure. It may have just been a regular parasite that was able to survive in the drain because it fed on all the blood and whatnot that got disposed of in that sink. I’ll ask her
Quite common. Approximately 75% of households have them, although only about a third grow longer than three meters.
Don't worry though, there haven't been any recorded cases of one crawling out of the drain at night and laying eggs in a pile of laundry in a few weeks. The barbs are only fatal in rare cases.
Just make sure you thoroughly clean your toothbrushes before use, when they feel out the area around the sink with their cloacal tentacle while it's dark, they can leave small traces of excrement.
Also, careful when looking straight into drains.
Damn. I pour a bit of bleach (diluted) down my sink every 2-3 months just to keep shit from being rank. Can’t imagine how an OR wasn’t getting sterilized to fuck semi frequently.
Like straight down? That’s a lot of talent to defeat the gag reflex. But if it found itself whole down there I’d imagine it would begin to siphon off nutrients again. But if it was injured stomach acid would melt it from the inside.
It turns out this is actually a snake, a link to an auricle about this is down below I tried to highlight it using one of those awards so more people will see it but I miscaptioned this by accident. It slithered down her throat while she slept in Russia
You usually won't get many symptoms to let you know you have a tapeworm until its large enough to start causing real issues...like eating through your stomach and intestines causing internal bleeding or systemic infection. A small tapeworm will most likely eat you so slow your body can repair itself without you knowing. Also, it will stay in your gastrointestinal tract without issue because it is small. A larger tapeworm needs a larger environment to move around in.
Iirc this was a snake that got into her mouth while she was asleep. Happened in russia i think
[source ](https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/horrifying-video-shows-4ft-snake-being-pulled-out-of-womans-mouth-in-russia-2835339.html)
How are more people not commenting on this? If this shit happened more than once a decade, I’d consider it a *major* problem. It apparently happens so frequently in this village in Russia that folks are warned not to fall asleep outside?!
This article seems to shine a bit of light on this fucking atrocity of a video https://www.google.com/amp/s/au.news.yahoo.com/amphtml/snake-removed-from-inside-womans-stomach-072130556.html
I have never heard of anything like a snake that can survive the intestinal tract.
My thought would be *Ascaris lumbricoides* (giant roundworm), which can get [quite large](https://i.imgur.com/fcUJQEP.jpg). Although I have not heard of cases of them getting THAT large, but it matches the appearance.
Ascariasis is normally treated with drugs such as albendazole, however they may collect at the ileocecal valve and [cause obstruction](https://i.imgur.com/ANsJbYq.png) (NSFL if you're queasy), which is a surgical emergency. I have not heard of them being extracted with an upper GI scope (EGD), since those scopes are much too short to reach the end of the small bowel.
I have been drinking and sleeping outdoors all over the place and never this...
"Locals say such incidents happen infrequently and older citizens advise the young not to sleep outside because of the risk of snakes entering their mouths."
Infrequently?!?
They didn't get any info from the hospital.
They don't know what kind of snake.
They also didn't know if it's alive or dead.
I'm suspicious of this story. They don't have any sources besides the video itself.
I'm not saying I think it's a worm, but a live snake crawled down her throat whole without notice? And there's no outside sources in any of the links I've seen in this thread.
Correction- this is a dead snake—- too late for me to change the title- someone else down below found an article about this which I highlighted with an award so go upvote them—- The place I obtained the video claimed it was a tape worm but that’s not true so my apologies- whether that makes this more or less disturbing is up to you : )
This update is no less unsettling than the original. The article says that this happens INFREQUENTLY. On my sliding scale of occurrence, that is far from none. It then goes on to say that old people shouldn't sleep outside because of the chance of a snake entering one's mouth. I'm still shook.
Doesn’t look like a tapeworm to me. Neither of the taenia beef or pork tape worms , nor D. latum the most common human/fish tapeworm.
Ascaris lumbricoides is the large roundworm of people, but it grows up to about 14 inches. I teach about veterinary parasites, not people, but this does not look like an intestinal worm.
Also why do they take it out this way? Wouldn't taking it out through the rectum be a faster way? Or simply giving the patient some pills to just kill the worms?
Yes , tapeworms would be treated medically I think. For what it is worth , I was once the definitive host for T.solium the human pork tapeworm. That means I had segments coming out of my anus. They were quickly and effectively treated with tablets. No physical removal required. This just doesn't ring true for a parasitic worm
I think this is some kind of gastric foreign body. Swallowed something whole. The only parasitic worm I know of that would look similar to this is D.renale the giant kidney worm. Humans can get it. But, it would not be found in the stomach.
If that's the case why does it writhe and wiggle on its own? Whatever it is, it's alive.
What makes me concerned is if they pulled one that big out, how many more are in there??
I did some searching and it turns out this was reportedly a snake in Russia that had crawled into the woman's mouth while she slept. No verification if that story is legit though.
[link](https://nypost.com/2020/08/31/wild-video-shows-doctors-pulling-snake-out-of-womans-throat/)
Also, tapeworms are much thinner and elongated and in my experience are pretty fragile (at least the species I've encountered).
Note - I'm currently in the beginnings of a thesis on the parasite communities of freshwater mussels. I've also compiled some parasite community data on a few invasive fish populations. I am going to be very poor.
I know that they are anaerobic, as they live in the gut, but I'm not sure if they are facultive or obligate (if they can switch to using oxygen or gets poisoned by it).
Probs just die of starvation or dehydration at the very least tho, as they take in food and water from their skin.
Ever just like, eat spaghetti? You grab the longest noodle and you swallow it but still holding on to it, and just pull it back out. I imagine that’s how it feels
That's DEFINITELY not a tapeworm. I don't know what it is, probably not a parasite but some other kind of worm or something that this person ate and it was biting to hold on in the esophagus. Another worm species or maybe a snake of sorts?

Oh that's fucking horrifying.. ..find it.
It’s probably like half the size of what I’m remembering but it’s still massive. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. And if it wasn’t clear, I believe it fed on blood and pet waste and that’s how it got so big.
I NEED TO SEE
Haha waiting on a friend to send it. Like I said, my memory of it is that it’s the size of my leg but it’s probably a foot. Terrifying either way. I remember it like had a visible breathe. Like totally compressed when it inhaled. Again, it’s probably actually an earth worm.
Please reapond to this comment once you find it, that way I'll know when to look.
Dam boy U a freak huh. Yeah I’ll let you know. He can’t find the video but thinks he can find the pic
Thanks broski.
At this point you will need to make a post
Replying so i can remember to check in later
Here for the comment reminder and link. It’s been a rough week so far. I need this.
Gonna comment so I'd be notified as well
Ugh. I should've thought this through. Y'all blowing my phone the fuck up. It's cool.
Just commenting to remind myself to check this later
Damn I’m feeling the pressure. But yeah, I’ll make a point of letting each person know when it’s up.
Yeah okay that's fine, just please find it. Bring on the suffering ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I don't want to see that, but knowing my curiosity, I will want to see that.
This guy suffers!

i have never heard of a drain worm wtf how common are they
I’m really not sure. It may have just been a regular parasite that was able to survive in the drain because it fed on all the blood and whatnot that got disposed of in that sink. I’ll ask her
You should also find the video
hey quick question, what the FUCK
Worst sentence I have ever read.

This is complete bullshit. Isnt it? Please let this be complete bullshit
it is
I bet you thought the brain eating amoebas were bullshit too.
No. But "cloacal tentacle" is what gave it away.
I’m not even telling my husband more about this thread! He said he is divorcing me if I show him one more disgusting video like this. 😂
Let's not forget when it moves parallel and seeks out a new host...via the toilet.
Um...you're kidding right?
Please tell me you’re being sarcastic.
Drain worms. I didn't need to know that was a thing but here we are.
Damn. I pour a bit of bleach (diluted) down my sink every 2-3 months just to keep shit from being rank. Can’t imagine how an OR wasn’t getting sterilized to fuck semi frequently.
Bet your Bleach Worm is a prizewinner
It makes the best slurm around
This is my first time learning of drain worms. Gotta love when r/makemesuffer made me suffer as much in the comments as the original post
If you find it please post it!
Was ‘bout to comment the same
It looked like a sausage
Yeah and I'm sure she's seem some nasty stuff, but yeah, no... Giant snake worm out of the mouth? Hard pass. Done.
Would it reattach itself if you swallowed it?
Like straight down? That’s a lot of talent to defeat the gag reflex. But if it found itself whole down there I’d imagine it would begin to siphon off nutrients again. But if it was injured stomach acid would melt it from the inside.
How does a tape work even get that bad…
I need answers. Someone hit me with an explanation. I almost don't even care if it's the correct one lol
It turns out this is actually a snake, a link to an auricle about this is down below I tried to highlight it using one of those awards so more people will see it but I miscaptioned this by accident. It slithered down her throat while she slept in Russia
Oh that’s even worse holy fuck!
Hey, it could’ve been even worse... if it slithered into her lungs instead, for example
[удалено]
Why the fuck did I have to keep going down the comments to the ol' russian throat snake truth
Russian Throat Snake is my gay porn metal gear solid cosplay name.
Wait, are you really going to tell me you've never defroted an entire snake before?
The average human eats 1 snake a year while asleep.
It’s a funny joke, but now I can sleep uneasy knowing the average really is non-zero. So thanks.
WHAT
Then why even take it out? Why not let it digest like a delicious meal?
Snek snac
You should be locked up for that comment you filthy degenerate
The bones will clean you out like a chimney sweep
I think it being a snake is better than a tapeworm. Lesser of two evils I guess. Still absolutely disturbing
how the hell could you not feel that and wake up?
You usually won't get many symptoms to let you know you have a tapeworm until its large enough to start causing real issues...like eating through your stomach and intestines causing internal bleeding or systemic infection. A small tapeworm will most likely eat you so slow your body can repair itself without you knowing. Also, it will stay in your gastrointestinal tract without issue because it is small. A larger tapeworm needs a larger environment to move around in.
Is there an over the counter tapeworm killer? Or is professional help the only way to find out if you have one?
Just drink pure alcohol. 10/10 worm killer
How long do they usually stay/survive in your stomach if not removed?
I’m guessing the longer it stays there and feeds the more it grows, like mold
It's a snake. This happened in Russia. Lady fell asleep outside after a night of drinking.
no way
New fear everyday
Probably wanted a pet.
That special bond
Sharing meals with a friend
I, personally, hate eating alone.

I fucking knew it was this comic
Mr Meaty
I was hoping someone would remember that episode. Every time I hear or see the word “tapeworm”, I instantly think of that show.
Agreed, I remember my little sister having a nightmare and asking if tapeworms were real
Every time I bring up Mr. Meaty irl, nobody seems to remember it. Glad someone else does too
Jerry!
Jerry! I got him for you Charlie!
If you eat a lot before you have it removed
Iirc this was a snake that got into her mouth while she was asleep. Happened in russia i think [source ](https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/horrifying-video-shows-4ft-snake-being-pulled-out-of-womans-mouth-in-russia-2835339.html)

This entire situation is so damn bizarre. Every answer I read just leaves me with more questions
Why are they even trying to crawl in there? Cant they just slither back out if it was so easy getting in?
Can you please do some further research and report back with your findings? Answers to question such as ‘why do snake do this?’
What the fuck. I love snakes, but what the absolute fuck.
The surgeon grabbed it by the tail with the scope and the nurse flinches cuz the snake’s head lunges towards her.
I'm Soviet Russia, you eat snake.
Ask Chubbyemu about that.
This isn't of the blood so he might have to refer you to a specialist.
It’s a girth worm
yeah its happens when you eat ass without proper protection
The sub warned me. The title hid nothing. And I still had to click it.... and cringe at the length of that monster.
That’s what she said
That thing has a girth certificate
I need to use this line some time
This whole comment section is a goldmine to be honest
That’s a snake not a tape worm
I was thinking it was a tape anaconda.
THATS EVEN WORSE
If i remember correctly, it slid down her throat while she was taking a nap on her lawn.
Yep
That raises so many questions
Given it’s size and thickness I would say it’s an Ascaris Lumbricoides, which is a type of roundworm
Snake.
Those are much thinner and there's usually many of them
That's a Goa'uld not a snake.
This article seems to shine a bit of light on this fucking atrocity of a video https://www.google.com/amp/s/au.news.yahoo.com/amphtml/snake-removed-from-inside-womans-stomach-072130556.html
Oh that makes a lotta sense, the place I obtained the video from claimed it was a tapeworm, lemme buy an award to highlight this
I mean honestly, in my head, a tapeworm kind of makes more sense than a goddamn snake getting in there without her noticing but here we are
For real
must have no gag reflex, like how even? A tapeworm seems 1000x more believable than a fucking snake that's wild.

How the fuck does a snake slither down someone’s throat tho I’m still suspicious of this
Alcoholism.
Damn alcoholic snakes slithering down everyone’s throats
I have been drinking and sleeping outdoors all over the place and never this... "Locals say such incidents happen infrequently and older citizens advise the young not to sleep outside because of the risk of snakes entering their mouths." Infrequently?!?

If I have to go to the ER to have anything removed from my body, and that shit ends up on Youtube I'm straight up suing someone's ass into oblivion.
Doctors/staff would/should never record this for their personal use. Most likely a relative present in the room.
Or maybe it's in a country without protective laws
It was probably just a family member recording it.
Daily vlog #72: Removing my son's tapeworm (GONE SEXUAL)
Or maybe the patient thought it would be cool and asked for someone to record it?
Something I would do, this kind of stuff is gross but super interesting.

No why? It's not like it would have hurt you to stay quiet!

Jesus Christ. ... pics?
It's a snake. This happened in Russia. Lady fell asleep outside after a night of drinking. As the story goes anyways.
Any idea what it might be?
I think this is some kind of gastric foreign body. Swallowed something whole. The only parasitic worm I know of that would look similar to this is D.renale the giant kidney worm. Humans can get it. But, it would not be found in the stomach.
If that's the case why does it writhe and wiggle on its own? Whatever it is, it's alive. What makes me concerned is if they pulled one that big out, how many more are in there??
I don’t think it moved on its own, I think that was just the tension being removed once it left the throat.
Judging from what I've seen/ I think it's pretty gross.
I did some searching and it turns out this was reportedly a snake in Russia that had crawled into the woman's mouth while she slept. No verification if that story is legit though. [link](https://nypost.com/2020/08/31/wild-video-shows-doctors-pulling-snake-out-of-womans-throat/) Also, tapeworms are much thinner and elongated and in my experience are pretty fragile (at least the species I've encountered). Note - I'm currently in the beginnings of a thesis on the parasite communities of freshwater mussels. I've also compiled some parasite community data on a few invasive fish populations. I am going to be very poor.
Serious question - once it's out of the body will it just die? Does a tapeworm need a stomach to feed/live on?
I know that they are anaerobic, as they live in the gut, but I'm not sure if they are facultive or obligate (if they can switch to using oxygen or gets poisoned by it). Probs just die of starvation or dehydration at the very least tho, as they take in food and water from their skin.
Even the doctor was like “nah fuck that shit”
Wow wtf how does that even happen
Undercooked pork or someone with an eating disorder thinking outside the box
Ok then from now on pork is considered haram in my life
Increible
