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.

I hate it when that happens...............

BLARF! At least you lose weight.

[WayneS]

If you put that in a little plastic or steel housing, with a spring so it would be automatically retractable, would it be called a tape-measure worm?

2 Easy cures for tapeworms...fast for 3 days, then put a bowl of cooked cabbage under your nose....the worm will crawl out to get it,OR, fast for 3 days, and take a milk bath, the worm smells the milk, and crawls out the other end

You choose

What hole did it come out when he first saw it?

Will this be another Pandemoniac, of sorts, for Obama to cure?

I wonder how many tapeworms I have. I will not eat over cooked Salmon, it ruins it.

Better bring a copy of War And Peace to read while you're sitting on the john.

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.

Yep...I have a circulated email containing graphics from wierd turn-of-the-last-century advertisements like things sold by Sears & Roebuck back then, etc. One of the ads praised the benefits of using tapeworms as your dieting aid, showing a thin, corseted lady in the picture.

Ah, that's progress, yes? Tapeworms back then - purging now.

[WayneS]

...or THAT mental picture!

You people are sick. I don’t even know why I hang around you!

[Gator113]

Pandemoniac= pandemic

[a fool in paradise]

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?

If you in cyst.

I like how this thread is in the FOOD section and not Health/Medicine

[WayneS]

I kind of like Pandemoniac.

[Billthedrill]

Tapeworms have a right to live too. I’m calling PETA.

Pandemoniac is a cool word.

[FrdmLvr]

Yes, and it takes some time to grow 9 feet. Which makes me wonder why he would identify this particular incident as the one which gave him the tapeworm.
