I was told my grandmother had a tape worm and the “cure” was starving the person for days then putting warm milk in front of them and they would crawl out of the mouth to eat.
Is that an old wives tale?
LOL, thats sort of what my old high school biology teacher said, only he said you had to put a juicy piece of steak on a fork and have the patient open his mouth.
Then you wave the steak on the fork in front of the patients open mouth, and when the tapeworm pops out to grab the steak you sieze it with your free hand and pull it out LOL.

Oh my God, that is so disgusting.
My grandmother had a tapeworm no one knew about until she had radiation/chemotherapy for ovarian cancer; then all the bits and pieces started showing up.
