Would you intentionally swallow a tapeworm to lose weight?

If you haven't heard of this, there are some people who swallow live tapeworms to lose weight . If you have a tapeworm living inside your stomach it will break down food and consume nutrients apparently making you skinnier. Of course this is completely unhealthy and unsafe and can make people very ill! But people being people...they will do whatever stupid thing they hear about just to lose some extra pounds....

No, thank you. When it grows, it can make your stomach cramps. I had a posy where in a man loves to eat sushi, develop the tape worm there and it was 6-7 feet long. So no way!

Exactly. Women used to do it a lot back in the Victorian age and these days there is even a tapeworm diet
