How to Naturally Kill Intestinal Worms in Your Body?

Intestinal parasites can be a cause of concern for many individuals. These organisms reside in various parts of the body, primarily in the intestinal walls. Intestinal worms, also known as parasitic worms, are among the most common types of parasites that can infect humans. Amoebiasis, ascariasis, hookworm infection, and trichuriasis are some of the prevalent intestinal parasites. While there are…

Round 1 - Phylum Nemertea

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

Animals in the Phylum Nemertea, commonly known as “Ribbon Worms” or “Proboscis Worms,” are small and mostly slim with a venomous proboscis that everts just above to mouth to capture prey.

There are about 1,300 known species of nermertean. Most nemerteans are carnivores, feeding on annelids, clams, and crustaceans. Some species are scarvengers. Some species are filter feeders that utilize a sucker at the front and back ends of their bodies to attach to a host. Most nemerteans detect the world through the use of chemoreceptors, but some species have simple eyes that allow them to distinguish light from dark. They move slowly, using cilia to walk on a trail of slime. Some larger species can “slither.” Many are brightly colored and patterned. Most nemerteans are marine, living in either the open ocean or on the sea floor, but some species are freshwater, and some are even terrestrial.

Propaganda under the cut:

Previously, nemerteans were split into two groups by whether they had a “little dagger” on their proboscis or not. (This classification no longer applies as one of the “unarmed” orders was closer related to the “armed” group than the rest of the “unarmed” group. It’s still fun to imagine worms with little daggers tho.)

The Bootlace Worm (Lineus longissimus) (seen in the first image) is one of the longest known animals, with specimens up to 55 m (180 ft) long being reported. This is longer than the Lion’s Mane Jellyfish, the sauropod dinosaurs Argentinosaurus and Patagotitan, and the record-holding longest Blue Whale. Like other nemerteans, the Bootlace Worm can also stretch up to 10 times its resting length. They’re not considered the largest animals though, because they’re only 5 to 10 mm (0.20 to 0.39 in) wide!

As a defense against predators, the Bootlace Worm produces a toxic mucus which contains a strong neurotoxin and smells faintly of “iron or sewage.” The mucus has been shown to kill arthropods, and is being studied for its use as a natural pesticide.

Some larger species can regenerate, breaking into pieces when disturbed, after which the fragments can grow into full individuals!

Some nemerteans have a branched proboscis that comes out as a “mass of sticky spaghetti” that can then be used to pull prey into its mouth. If you love horror movies, this is the animal for you! I’m not easily grossed out, but I genuinely can’t stomach this video, so viewer discretion is advised! (Thankfully, this one didn’t have a “little dagger.”

gross thought but like what do you think would happen if taylor got a parasite. like a tapeworm. one of the ones that hatches in the human body. cause her power doesn't detect larvae or eggs i don't think so she wouldn't know about it if she drank dirty water or something.

again gross thought but i'm thinking about her like detecting through her power a tapeworm hatching in her own stomach. or intestines. wherever tapeworms live. what would you do about having a tapeworm in your stomach and knowing about it from the moment it hatches from its egg. like do you let it die? cause she controls it so she can just make it so it doesn't eat any food and it starves to death. does that make it worse does that kill you

🏈 Super ‘Bowel’ Sunday LVII💩

This football-shaped egg is the spawn of the female whip worm Trichuris trichiura.

They can be found in water contaminated by feces or in delicious half-time hotdogs 🌭 handled by unsanitary fingers. Once ingested it makes its way into your intestines and after about 3 months will hatch into a worm.

Once mature, the worm burrows her head and mouth parts into the delicate and comfortable mucosa of your intestines to feed. It is here that she will trigger an inflammatory response and causes bouts of abdominal pain with plenty of (sometimes bloody) diarrhea. A disease called trichuriasis.

While she is feeding she dangles her vulva into the lumen of your intestine and has sex with as many nearby male worms as possible.

Our little parasite now becomes a momma and starts firing out somewhere between 2,000-10,000 of these little eggs…

Per day!

This life of feeding and egg-laying, if left untreated, can last for the lifespan of a roundworm which can be around 5 years… that’s a very busy worm and lots of eggs.

All those eggs get flushed out of your body with your bloody diarrhea and, depending on where you live, ‘touchdown’ in the local water supply or back on that hotdog ready to be ingested once again and the whole process starts over.

my stomach is still hurting on and off and I can't tell if it's because the worms didn't go away or not
