A 34-year-old man was shocked when he pulled out a 17ft tapeworm from his anus.
Duangchan Dachyoddee from Nakhon Sawan, Thailand had been experiencing stomach pains at his home so he decided to take his time on the loo.
The taxi driver was startled when he felt something wriggling against his skin, and when he checked what it was, he was shocked to find a thin chandelier dangling into the water. Yikes!
Duangchan jumped and immediately realized that the yellow tapeworm was still hanging from his bum!
He then started to pull the worm from his rear end but it was so long that it took him forever.
“I couldn’t believe how long it was. I kept pulling and it was still stuck in my bottom. When the whole worm came out I measured it and it was five metres long,” Duangchan expressed.
“I thought it was an alien. It was disgusting. That thing had been living inside me for a long time,” he added.
The 34-year-old took the creature to the doctor and he was told that it came from eating raw meat. He wasn’t surprised as his favorite dish is ‘Key Neaua’, a spicy raw beef salad dish.
Tapeworm eggs are believed to have been in the raw meat and hatched in his intestines.
Doctors have said that there are probably more tapeworms inside his body but they have prescribed medication to get rid of them.
“My stomach has felt better since the big one came out. But I still feel a bit sick knowing that there are more worms inside me,” Duangchan said.
“The doctors said it would be a few days before I start feeling better.”
