Tapeworm troubles?


Question:
I once heard that before modern medicine, one would have to hold a raw egg in front of their mouth, and wait for the tapeworm to crawl out in order to get rid of it. Does anyone know if this is true?

Answers:
Of course it isn't!! It won't come out your nose if you fast for three days and then hold a glass of warm milk under your nose, either!!

Honestly, the old wives' tales that people still tell!!
no its not... its a parasite it will just attach to your intestines and take all your nutrients. It cant crawl out of you it doesnt want to. Thank god for modern medicine.
I really doubt that'll happen. Get some meds to kill the little bastards.
I dont know about that but raw garlic will kill tapeworms
I've never heard of such a thing. Why would holding an egg In your mouth cause the tapeworm to crawl up your throat and out your month? Doesn't make sense. If you have tapeworms, then you need to contact your doctor to get this under control.
