A man who ate an undercooked salmon salad claims he developed a 9-foot tapeworm, the Scientific American reported.

Anthony Franz sued Shaw's Crab House in Chicago for serving him the salad, which he said made him violently ill, according to the Chicago Times.

How could someone swallow a nine foot tape worm without knowing it?

Oh yuck.

You’d think you’d notice such a thing...
Maybe it was Salmon Linguini...

Yum!

[MrB]

OK, OK, folks...

all jokes aside, we all know that tapeworms start out as just a little cyst and grow in YOUR gut...

happy now?

There is no comment about the safety of eating raw or undercooked foods on the menu at Shaw's Crab House, Chicago.

I'll be right back after lunch.

Interesting factoid of the day: At the turn of the last century, some people used to intentionally ingest tapeworms as a form of weight control.

A temperance advocate was trying to impress upon youth the dangers of evil liquor.

She took a worm and put in a glass of whiskey (neat).

The worm died within minutes.

She then asked the children if they learned anything from this demonstration.

Little Johnny said, "Yeah, drink whiskey and you won't get worms."

Hey, think of it as a prize. You know, like the ones in the cereal boxes.

Only this prize is 9 feet long, lives in your gut, and gives you nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

We need a Tape Worm Czar. To keep the other parasite Czars in check.

[WayneS]

Perhaps. I wonder if he slurped it all down at once like my son does with spaghetti.

“That’s the longest piece of pasta I’ve EVER eaten!”

Saw a woman do that on the tv program “1,000 Ways To Die”. The woman lost weight all but she died DEAD.
