wmsl we had pork yesterday as o.h. likes it.

I do recall a friend telling me not to use a certain chippy as she had bought fish and chips and found a worm in the fish, she got her money back but was told it wouldn't have been harmful. Put me off using that shop for a while but I do always look at my fish as I eat it, don't just stuff it in my mouth without careful inspection, heaven knows what I would do if I found a worm tho lol
Ugh the thought of worms inside the colon, ugh and double ugh!
If you have a coffee 'washout' (can't remember the correct terminology) do the worms come out high on caffeine lol?

eeeeeuuuu Yuk!....I have completely gone off eating altogether after reading this thread....Will take me at least a week to even think about food again......a good thread if you need to lose weight, methinks.....orft to find some de-worming tablets

In Shetland (where's Eldrick when you need him) Cod is known as 'worm fish', Haven't eaten it since 1978!!
Pork liver can also contain a thing called a fluke, which is a worm of some kind.

Oh dear, sorry if I´ve killed this thread.

JILL DON´T read this! This is for Bob!.

My daughter was going on a gap year and we all had to go to the London School of Tropical Medicine for a lecture.

The doc was showing us slides of various conditions and the kids were getting bored, suddenly he showed a pic and said,

"now you boys don´t go messing around with the local girls!"

The pic showed a man with his enormous "balls" literally hanging below his knees (absolute silence in room).

Afterwards I asked him the case history, and he said that when they removed his testes they were FULL of worms. Evidently a worm had entered through the sole of his foot.

So the moral of this story is:

Don´t go around in your bare feet guys!

Bob - that is so revolting ...

I'm definitely not going to eat pork again - and if that pooch of mine snaffles anyone's bacon rind there'll be big trouble!

I believe that the term, "Long Pig" refers to human flesh as eaten by cannibals.......

There WAS a program where two fellers took on tapeworm.......for an experiment. at the end they "Drank" loads of milk of magnesia? to eradicate the worm........about 16 feet of it.........

Joy - pork tastes like humans? I wonder who worked that one out - LOL. But that would fit in with the old wives' tale bit.

Chica - I'm not going down that road - yeuk.

okay I´m going to make you feel real good now, you are all worrying about worms in fish and meat but I´ve got lots of pics of worms (some unbelievably huge) which have been passed after detoxing the colon. We deworm our pets but never bother with ourselves, I take the herb woodworm every day to prevent this happening. Have a look at some pics on line you´ll never believe some of them!

if you worm your dog regularly

you can feed it what you want

or thats what they said in our vets



it was a old wives tale
dont feed dogs pork because
it taste like human meat and the dog might eat you pmsl

I still can't get over this fish with worms thing ... I'm going to live on veggies and cheese from now on. I'll be a farty fatty!

Most fish contain worms ,,,Haddock does aswell, cant see it living long after a battering,!!

LOL

Night everyone..............thanks for the fun:)))

.......I thought it strange she never trusted me with Lass again.......now I know why.....

oops indeed Jill......have you ever tried to clean up a Sheltie, they have a lovely long coat...

...and to Kitty......I was pleased with myself for using up veg to make a veg soup which turned out smashing, trouble was it was mainly cabbage......I think I must have personally damaged the ozone layer after that....

I love my meat too much to be a veggie....................*wonders what that strange noise was* :))))



Oh and never Google trichinosis either..............*shudders*

*makes note*

Never leave the dog with Sally! LOL

Oh Sally - oops!

Oh Kitty

Join me and become one of these new-agey vegetarian type people! We could have a laugh.

I know if I became a vegetarian I'd fart a hell of a lot more than I do now!! Be careful everyone - fart alert!

All I can say Jill is.....my Sis and BiL left us with their precious Sheltie for the weekend, years ago, to go to Centre Parks....

Lass was on this strict diet of a slice of this special tinned dog food, twice a day........well, I had this pork left over......quite a lot really......and I felt really sorry for her....

Upshot was the next day she had chronic diahorrea (sp) and they had to take her to the vets......my Sis told me years later that it had cost a bomb to get her right again......she never said anything at the time though.....
