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?

;^)

[indylindy]

Oh yuck.

[MrB]

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

“Waiter, there’s a 9-foot tape worm in my dish...”

[ConservativeMan55]

BTTT

[Erik Latranyi]

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.

five cookies and hammer is the cure....

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."

[TheWasteLand]

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!”

[nickcarraway]

oFr free?

[lilylangtree]

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

[Dasaji]

...running out to get a parasite cleanse. Thanks.

Well at least she didn't die ALIVE... :0)

[WayneS]

You wouldn’t be tryin’ put a damper on our Friday Fun, now, would ya’?

‘Cause we don’t take too kindly to that around here, mister.

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

[domenad]

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?

[freedompursuit]

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

[Trod Upon]

Ask Bwaney Fwank.

[WayneS]

Awww man! I could have lived the rest of my life without THAT mental picture!

[Gator113]

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.

[RexBeach]

“Say, is that a nine foot tapeworm in your pocket, or are you just glad....”

[a fool in paradise]

and take a milk bath, the worm smells the milk, and crawls out the other end

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

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.

[a fool in paradise]

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.

[ComputerGuy]

13 months of Turkey Loaf...

[TheWasteLand]

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.

[Betis70]

it ought to be in humor.

Some funny FReeper posts on it...tapeworm czar! rofl.

[Constitution Day]

Yes, they are “Gut Kittens”, just as fish are “Sea Kittens”...

[a fool in paradise]

He was just aborting the tape worm. It’s a parasite like a fetus.

[SAJ]

Yah, that would’ve been rather awkward. Think of the explantations to the insurance company, for one thing...

[a fool in paradise]

“Pandemoniacal” for the win if we are playing Scrabble.

[mysterio]

What was the dish he ate? If it was sashimi, that’s basically raw. Eat raw meat, risk tapeworms.

[a fool in paradise]

Chase with hot sake!

[PugetSoundSoldier]

I was thinking the same thing but the guy got off lucky... The restaurant could have charged him for weight loss treatments!

[WayneS]

Yeah, that’s pretty nice, isn’t it.

[TheWasteLand]

Are we playing Scrabble? If so, I choose “objectivization” for 38 points.
