Is everyone just full of parasites? 😱 😨

😲
First, I need to write down a list for myself of all the reasons why I should never visit sites like this again!!! $%&#"&%"%& !!!

Alright, moving on...
Is there anyone here actually competent enough to convince me that this isn't true?

Look, I understand we all live with microscopic bugs we can't even see, but I am talking about massive things—like worms or parasites. Are we really supposed to believe these creatures live inside us and cause all sorts of illnesses? 😲

I’ve been reading this forum, and this particular post is absolutely shocking!

Apparently, these people did some preventative detox, and then it started happening—they could actually feel the worms crawling around inside their bodies!!! 😲
I honestly regret even clicking on this; how disgusting! 😲 😠

What is the logic here? Is it better to just leave them alone and let the worms gnaw away, or do a cleanse only to wake them up and have them chasing you around your body like the guy in this link? 😲

I don't know. Please, I need some input; I am in total shock!
😱 🙂

We're talking psychiatry here, not parasites.

🙏

And I’m foolish enough to actually go read through it! 🤣 As if my hypochondria wasn't already a full-time job! 😬

Honestly, how did so many idiots manage to congregate in one single thread and swell it to over 300 pages? 😲
Some posts seem perfectly reasonable, while others are filled with such nonsense that any data analysis breaks down—yet they still reject their actual medical results if they come back negative, claiming doctors don't have "real" labs. I truly can't decide whether to laugh or cry. ☕

What was that saying about curiosity killing the cat? 🙄

Honestly, calling them parasites is a stretch; we’re basically living in symbiosis with these little guys.
You should have seen that killer documentary they aired on the Discovery Channel about it a while back.👍

Little ones? 🤣
Fine, perhaps things will be easier if we just indulge them. 🤣

Why was I forced to find this out, honestly?

And what now—is that group from the link just wasting their energy trying to flush them out? Making their lives miserable by hunting them down in the restroom? 😬

Angela Wright said:Honestly, they aren't even parasites. We basically live in symbiosis with those little guys.
There was actually an awesome documentary about this on Discovery Channel a while back.👍

So, which specific "little guys" are you talking about here? This guy is out here claiming he's got some kind of worm living in his scrotum that wiggles whenever he pinches it. He clearly has no clue that what he's feeling is totally normal.

He keeps insisting there are things crawling under his skin from head to toe, and that they bite him when he messes with them. Based on what he wrote, it sounds like he’s just poking at the veins under his skin and convinced himself they're tiny worms biting back.

Who does someone think they are, deciding they have parasites just because they sat in a certain chair or saw a stray bug? If you're actually worried, you can just head down to a local pharmacy and grab some unnamed, or maybe just focus on some preventative cleansing 🙂
It runs about $8.25. You can also get it with a prescription if you prefer.

It’s pretty wild when you realize that unnamed uses the exact same active ingredient—mebendazole—as VERPANYL, which is that stuff you give your dogs and cats to keep them clear of worms.

You can actually give unnamed to cats too, especially since there's a syrup version out there that's easier for puppies and kittens to handle.
The mebendazole in it is heavy-duty; it knocks out everything from the eggs and larvae to the fully grown intestinal parasites.

What, am I supposed to wake them up just so they can start crawling all over me? 🤣

I’m not questioning my health—as far as I know, I'm perfectly fine. I do have a dog, but he’s strictly up-to-date on his shots and gets a preventative dewormer after every single vaccination.

But I was just browsing online looking for some kind of detox program, and this group—along with most of those alternative wellness circles—insists that you need an anti-parasite protocol before you even attempt a cleanse. 😲 Apparently, we're all carrying them without even realizing it! 😲

Honestly, it's all just internet nonsense; I have much better things to do with my life. 😬

Look, having parasites happens; it’s nothing out of the ordinary or particularly scary. But lately, there's this whole trend blowing up—mostly tied to that New Age, pseudo-medical nonsense—where people become convinced they’re crawling with worms or some "mucoid plaque." So, they start doing deep enemas, choking down parasite cleanses, and all sorts of stuff. Honestly, those cases belong in a psychiatric ward.
Besides that, you’ve got this made-up condition called "Morgellons," which is essentially psychological. You end up with a handful of people who have lost their grip on reality congregating on internet forums or Usenet groups, swapping "horror stories" and feeding into each other's paranoia.
To a con artist, these people are basically a buffet.

The guy was poking around his scrotum... and thought he saw something moving. 😬
It sounds like he’s looking at his own junk for the very first time. That’s just basic muscle movement. Testicles need to stay at a fairly consistent temperature, so the autonomic nervous system is constantly pulling them up and letting them drop, which looks like a slight twitching motion. This guy, being completely clueless, thought he had worms. Give me a break. 😂

We're all carrying pathogens—some more than others, I suppose 🙂—and if we're being technical, pathogens are parasites by definition. But you're really asking if we're full of multicellular parasites.

Generally speaking, no. Though, I have heard firsthand accounts from pediatric wards where babies have such severe worm infestations that their cribs are crawling with them... it sounds like a horror movie, but it's just reality in certain clinics...

Still, I think it's more important to realize that single-celled pathogens are actually a much bigger threat than multicellular parasites. They're the root cause of almost every illness—regardless of what doctors might want to sell you—and they aren't something to mess around with. You really need to clear those out... unless, of course, you'd rather just let them stay... you know, just relax and enjoy the ride...

Look, I’m just your average young adult; I haven't dealt with anything serious, I'm practically invincible, and I can't even remember the last time I had a common cold. So, perhaps I am looking for a silver bullet through these "detox" schemes.

And what's the alternative? We all carry a handful of tiny little pathogens, don't we? Or do the "healthy" ones somehow escape them? 😬
As for the group in this link, they’ve collectively lost their minds—are you suggesting this is all psychosomatic and they're just imagining things crawling inside them? 😬

This is 😱

Is that actually for real?

Honestly, I ignored that situation with the baby on purpose. 😲

I suspect such things might only occur in some impoverished third-world nations; I certainly hope no one in our neck of the woods has had to deal with it. 😢

Then you have that fake "Morgellons" disease, which is basically just psychological. You get a bunch of people who have lost their grip gathering on forums or Usenet groups, swapping "stories," and feeding into each other's paranoia.
To scammers, these folks are basically nothing more than easy prey.

This guy was just messing around with his scrotum... and thought he saw something moving. 😬
Sounds like he was checking himself out for the very first time. That's just basic muscle contraction. The testicles need to stay at a steady temperature, so the autonomic nervous system constantly moves them up and down. It looks like a little twitch. This idiot thought he had worms. Man, what a joke. 😂

I'm with you on this.

As for the guy poking at his balls, he sounds young. He clearly didn't realize how normal that movement is, so it's no wonder he's posting crazy stuff about worms in his scrotum. He probably felt his vas deferens and convinced himself a pinworm had crawled into his junk. 😂

stormyheron4 said:I'm with you on this one.

Honestly, looking at how he was messing around with his eggs, it’s pretty obvious the kid is still young enough to not realize what's actually normal, so I guess it makes sense why he’s posting such nonsense about worms in eggs. He probably just felt his anatomy and convinced himself a tapeworm had somehow migrated into his scrotum. 😂

😂😂🤣🤣🙏🙏

Good grief, why are you all obsessing over his every word? 😁 He explicitly mentions feeling it throughout his entire body, and if you bother to look at the other link, you'll find plenty of additional examples.

If this isn't true, I honestly don't understand how someone could be so incredibly foolish; surely one can tell whether they are actually feeling something or not? 😕 🤷

Amanda Reed10 said:Look, why are you guys obsessing over his testicles? 😁 He’s claiming he feels it throughout his entire body, and there are plenty of other examples if you check that other link.

I just don't get how someone could be this delusional if it isn't true. I mean, surely you know if you're actually feeling something or not, right? 😕 🤷

It all started with his balls—now everyone thinks they have worms.😂

You want to know how people can be this crazy? I just read about how bananas are disappearing in Japan because some lady lost weight eating them, and now the whole country is panic-buying bananas hoping for the same result.

All it takes is one person tapping into the phobias of a few paranoid folks to end up with 300 pages of nonsense. We all have our quirks and fears, but you've gotta stay grounded and use some common sense so you don't spiral out like this guy with the worms. Just look at what unnamed wrote; that's basically a modern epidemic.

Bryan Moore4, is this some kind of deep-seated mysophobia we're dealing with here? Or... based on how you're talking, maybe you're actually the one who isn't exactly "normal," to put it mildly.
I’m not trying to be insulting—really—but I honestly don't see why on earth you care so much about every little thing being contaminated by bugs and whatnot.

Jamie Barnes60 said:This feels 😱

Is that actually true?

Yeah, it’s true—and it's happening right now in the world around us. 🙂

A friend of mine is a pediatrician, and she was mentioning the kinds of cases she sees in her unit... not that the kids are at fault, obviously, but worm infections seem almost commonplace these days...

And speaking of worms, if you have any medical background, you know they can emerge from pretty much anywhere—they move through the digestive tract, but they can also come out through the mouth or nose. So, a baby with a heavy infection could actually pass quite a lot of them...

And just so nobody thinks this is some far-off issue, America isn't exactly an isolated bubble...

It’s more or less a reality... I'm not saying it's "normal" to have parasites, but it is common enough that cases exist. And it can be treated... just like most other things—almost everything is treatable...

I’m honestly going to make a list for myself of all the sites I am officially banning myself from reading ever again!!! $%&#"&%"%& !!!

Okay, let's get back to it...
Is there anyone here with enough expertise to talk some sense into me and tell me this isn't actually true?

I mean, look, I know we all live with various microscopic bugs that we can't even see, but I'm talking about the gross stuff—large parasites like worms or larvae. Is it really true that these things are living inside us and are the root cause of so many different illnesses??? 😲

I was scrolling through this forum, and this one particular post is enough to make anyone's skin crawl!

I don't know, please weigh in. I'm genuinely shaken by this!
😱 🙂

Best regards,

Regarding your shock, I hope you feel a bit more grounded in a few days; you're clearly feeling pretty worked up right now. We all run into things in our daily lives that catch us off guard and make us uncomfortable, but what feels shocking to one person is totally subjective. For instance, while some people might find the mention of parasites trivial or even laughable, others might see a drop of blood and feel like they're about to faint. There are endless examples like that.
It's perfectly natural to feel a bit of anxiety when it comes to your own physical well-being, whether that fear is physiological or social. It sounds like this website triggered more of a "gross-out" factor for you than actual fear, or maybe a mix of both? Regardless, my advice would be to try and process this information rationally without letting it overwhelm you. A lot of people say, "ignorance is bliss," and in some cases, they aren't wrong.
However, there's another side to it: "the more you know, the better prepared you are to take preventive action." It's uncomfortable to look at photos of skin cancer or read about medical issues, but having a basic understanding of the fundamentals can be incredibly helpful for prevention. So, the issue isn't necessarily whether these parasites exist or how common they are; the real challenge is making sure you don't spiral into hypochondria or a full-blown phobia.

I knew someone who was absolutely horrified after looking at images on www.rotten.com. They were terrified for the first two days, fine for the next five, and now they can look at those same images while eating a sandwich without blinking. Humans have an amazing capacity to get used to anything.
Best,
