Doctors in India were stunned to remove a tapeworm measuring more than 6 feet through a patient's mouth, according to a report published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Cyriac Phillips wrote in an email that the 48-year-old man underwent a colonoscopy in 2014 after complaints of "tolerable" abdominal pain that had gone on for two months and test results indicating low hemoglobin concentrations in his blood.
While performing the colonoscopy, Phillips discovered part of the worm.
"It was an undulating, moving piece of the worm, " he said, "This worm segment was confirmation that there was a tapeworm infestation in this patient."

One of the reasons I take garlic and Cayenne pills.
They pulled on the worm for over an hour?
Just put a chocolate chip cookie by the guy’s behind and when the worm comes out to get the cookie, you knock him on the head with a hammer. The worm, not the guy. You buy the guy a drink and tell him it could have been worse. It could have been your Aunt Edna coming to spend the summer with him.
Yeah, then a tapeworm looks mighty good.
Mmmm, smoked salmon, had some today. Also love fish roe of all kinds that I have tried. From the best caviar to the yummy tiny smelt eggs. I could eat that stuff every day. When I worked in a hotel kitchen, when people would order the tin of caviar from room service, they paid by the weight that was gone from the huge tin. And to keep the caviar pristine for the next person to order, we had to clean the top layer of the caviar tin.
Well?? Do you really think we kids (interns in chef program) threw the caviar layer we scraped off IN THE TRASH??? We ate it all. Mmmm free caviar, all you can eat. Uh huh.
They were talking the other day on the radio that you place the cup of milk and the cookie in front of the guy’s nose and the tapeworm comes out to get it.
I think I’d rather be in the Silence of the Lambs pit.
No.

Just no.
You have to confuse the worm to catch him.
The worm is used to having cookies come down the guy’s cookie hole.
But you put the cookie by the guy’s behind and the worm is thinking,
“Man, there’s usually nothing down at this end but crap, but there’s a cookie!”
Throws them off.
My grade school math teacher had a 20 footer and a 22 footer in him. The doctors gave back the worms they found in him- preserved for posterity in glass jars.
He brought them to class because nothing gets a bunch of kid’s attention better than something freakishly gross.
Shit. In India I thought they served them at the Sushi bar, albeit chopped up a bit.
“A nurse removed my cathetar it was not six feet long but I was shocked how long a tube it was...”
You broke your leg and they cathed you? Isn’t that like going to the dentist and they tell you to remove your pants?
Country folks in Colombia have a saying:
El que menos puja echa una lombriz.
It’s a little known fact that having tapeworms makes you better at math.
The guy probably had to start teaching English after they took out the tapeworms.
The tapeworms probably became Democrat comedians.
They were talking the other day on the radio that you place the cup of milk and the cookie in front of the guys nose...What do you have against Santa Claus? Never done nuttin’ to youse..unless you was an asshole.
There are some cold smoked salmon recipes, but most smoked salmon in the states is hot smoked and the meat has reached a temp of 130 to 140 degrees.
Oh, make me lose my beer. Thanks.
Well there goes my fettuccini Alfredo’s dinner plans
Braggart.
Wow.
Built-in dental floss.
