my friend told me she has had threadworms for 10 years

[ineedapoo]

She is a very strict vegan and won't kill them sees them in her ... every so often. OMFG I am so shocked felt like running away

If ever there was a reason to strike a friend off your phone book

Surely embracing one's own threadworms would make one a contortionist??

good lord no kerry.. but will you?
gowon..

But what on earth are those poor little worms living on?

You'd have thought she'd throw them the odd sausage every now and again, seeing as she's that fond ...

Oh god, I'm sitting here crying; this is one of the funniest threads I have read on mumsnet in over three years....

hahahaaaa!
how does she know she's got them?
if they're vegan worms they'll all be terribly pale and wan.. almost invisible, one would think?

Reminds me of someone I knew who enjoyed having scabies, as the scratching gave him somthing to do and kept his mind off being depressed

her kids must be riddled

Do you think it is wrong to slip ovex in a vegan cake so I can still see her

ineedapoo. - couldn't you ask her over for coffee or dinner and put the Ovex in her food?

it must be quite palatable if children have it.

i did read a couple of months ago, that people were taking worm medicine to get high.

Ah, I see you've already had that idea.

cake is a good one as they could eat it every day

Get baking girl!

Hasn't there been research recently that show that some worm infections prevent allergies?

The worms secrete something that dulls the immune system, so the body doesn't attack them.

o m g i nearly peed my pants reading this

You can get rid of them easily if you are scrupulous (sp?) about washing your hands. Probably not possible with young children though.

OMG. i feel sick and itchy all over from this. never knew, never knew...

i actually can't stop grimacing.

I am still retching at the thought of the female exploding threadworm giving herself up for the sake of her children...

her unborn children..
