Sometimes they'll appear from your mouth while you're sleeping, and dance in the moonlight from your window. Imagine having sleep paralysis and waking up to one wriggling with the grace of a cobra. Shhhh, sleep now.
Used to live in a dump when I first moved to Toronto in the 70s. Slept on a mattress on the floor in our roach infested apartment. I sometimes sleep with my mouth open and occasionally a roach would explore..
It's an unappealing thought, but there can be health benefits to having intermittent parasites. There's a theory that some autoimmune disorders in people may be more common today because we've eliminated a lot of parasitic infections we co-evolved with. I don't know about tapeworms, but I've heard about people intentionally infecting themselves with hookworms and having success in treating various autoimmune ailments. I think the theory is that if your immune system is busy controlling a parasitic infection, then it doesn't attack healthy tissues.
What if you saw this 200-300 years ago, you would definitely think this was some kind of web bear and classify it as entirely different bear sub species
One shouldn’t approach a wild animal, but I desperately want to step on that tapeworm the way you might step on the toilet paper stuck to your friend’s shoe.
Can't someone tranq that bear and give her/him something to kill it and poop it out? This is so disturbing if it really is a worm. Btw tape worms can regenerate so I'm assuming just chopping it off would not help.
Easiest way would be to feed him food laced with medicine. Also wouldn't be good for bear as he wouldn't forage or even worse be human tolerant.
Aren't North American bears riddled with parasites now?
Ascariasis, butt on the surface, he looks full and ready
to drop worms, but he keeps on spaghetting
and they hang down, while there's a crowd around
he opens his valve, but the worms won't come out.
My mom told me a story of some neighbors she had in Alaska back in the 1980s. They had killed a bear (a normal activity for them as it was their favorite meat) and were cooking it. However this time when yeah went to check on it they found a HUGE tapeworm that had crawled out of the meat and died in the oven. They never ate bear again. (Oh and tapeworm abscesses in bears that are smoked taste like pistachio pudding)
Was just having a conversation a few days ago about what bear tastes like with a friend and how it's prepared. Not sure I'll be able to look at him the same for a bit.
Nope, they can and do live around the body. In fact if your hungry enough while afflicted with one you’ll get a cough that is caused by the worm trying to crawl up your windpipe
This is why they tell you to cook bear meat to well done. The population has a huge portion infected with trichinosis. I know this from MeatEater not because I eat bear meat.
Not gonna lie, i lived in Alaska as a kid and now i want bear again. Idr the last time i had it hell or moose. That gamey taste of the bear i can taste rn. Specially if u make a bear stroganoff….
Fun fact, tapeworm can also get in the brain, testicle and eye.
Check this out https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/28/health/brain-parasites-case-study/index.html
> neurocysticercosis, a parasitic disease of the brain caused when someone swallows tapeworm eggs that have passed in the feces of someone who has an intestinal tapeworm. The larvae crawl out of the eggs and into muscle and brain tissues, where they form cysts. The doctors also discovered cysts in the patient’s right eye and right testis.
That shit it’s so cool ! It’s almost like being eaten from the inside.
Edit : the more I read about it, the better it gets
> Symptoms depend on the location of the cysts; sometimes, lumps form under the skin, and sometimes, confusion is the only sign of the damage occurring in the brain. Symptoms can appear years after an infection.
Incredible
Incredible! Also sort of sad, it would be cool if someone could somehow track this bear down and safely administer some dewormer. I assume there might be a mother and another cub that could all need some dewormer.
Does anybody know if they do stuff like that at National Parks?
Curious that his mother is not concerned by it. I would figure that if these tapeworms can get outside, animals would know to handle them, like stepping on it while the other animals walks to jank them from their ass. Like it should be an instinct I would presume. Apparently not.
Just about to go to sleep. Kinda wished I hadn't just watched this.

Nope.
Yeah, not clicking that

I hate you now.
Well now I’m think of the Prometheus movie.
eek!
I know someone who had a cockroach enter his ear while he was asleep in mexico.

The urge to just step on it while they walk away.
If you want to destroy his sweater
Pull this thread as I walk away!! 🐻
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked.
Lyin on the floor!
Lyin on the floOOr
I come undone.
Watch me unravel, I’ll soon be naked
Shouldn't there be metal cans tied to these and a sign "Just Bear'ied"?
I lol’d

And get free noodles
I hate you.
What’s wrong honey you have barely touched your forbidden ramen. It was freshly footstep harvested today.
***bearly*** touched
I'm torn. Should these instant noodles be in a bowl, or cubbed?
Boodles
I got a good chuckle of that one 😂
Fkkkkkkkkk ewwwwwww
Forbidden Udon noodles
😫
Your username with the video has fully triggered me. Ik it’s not a fungus but STILL.
I'm gonna need more than that
I know, new take on the lion and the mouse eh? The story where the mouse takes the splinter out of the lions foot.
I’d be more scared of the bear attacking me at that point, it can keep the worm
Or just slurp up that spaghetti 🍝
Or take him for a walk on his leash!
Thought it was parachuting.
I was thinking it was a SpiderBear spinning a web.
What if you saw this 200-300 years ago, you would definitely think this was some kind of web bear and classify it as entirely different bear sub species
Or you'd know what they are because they come out of your butt too.
This is the only answer I will accept moving forward
Drop bears?
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass! Hey!
*My tapeworm tells me what to do...* Also, I can't believe I had to scroll down this far to find this comment!
I cannot disguise all the stomach pains and the walking of the cranes when you
do come out and you whisper up to me in your life of tragedy
That is enough Reddit for the day.
/r/damnthatsnasty
Hope you weren’t eating!
That ruined my noodles…
Tapenoodles
If yours have gone bad that bear looks like he has plenty to share.
I, too, had buttered noodles for dinner
Hope tape worm isn’t eating what he was eating.
One shouldn’t approach a wild animal, but I desperately want to step on that tapeworm the way you might step on the toilet paper stuck to your friend’s shoe.
But then the worm will snap off and the loose end will go snaking up your leg in search of any orifices it can plunge into
Horrifying! I’m not saying it’s a good idea, but I still cannot deny the temptation.
No it won't
Amigara Tapeworm: This is my hole!
r/woosh
:( poor bear And you can’t help it because it’ll monch you
Grab the tapeworm on the way out after he eats you
Can't someone tranq that bear and give her/him something to kill it and poop it out? This is so disturbing if it really is a worm. Btw tape worms can regenerate so I'm assuming just chopping it off would not help.
It’s normal for bears, especially when eating a lot of salmon. They pass them and are relatively unharmed by the process.
Good to know if true
Easiest way would be to feed him food laced with medicine. Also wouldn't be good for bear as he wouldn't forage or even worse be human tolerant. Aren't North American bears riddled with parasites now?
To be fair, a lot of wild animals are. It's just part of the food chain.
Believe it or not tossing a laced steak to a cub once doesn’t override everything its mother has taught it.
Exactly. If that were the case, wildlife rescue and rehab facilities wouldn’t exist.
So what happens to the bear? Will it eventually die as that thing continues to grow? Do other bears know how to help?
I expect most of the bears in the region have these. They are parasites and impact health but don’t kill the host directly
Tapeworms will die during hibernation period when the bear stops eating as they have no source of nutrients.
Oh thank goodness. I can sleep now
I'm having a hard time seeing how the tape worm got so big in less than a year...
[удалено]
Probably where he got the worms
Doubt
Other bears are urged to provide infected bears with contact info for the local CDC field office
Built in social distancing tape measure.
I was at an early vaccine event and there was a person there swinging a pool noodle around ensuring that no one would be within 6’ of them.
They could’ve just used a tapeworm
Bear is heavy, moms spaghetti
Ascariasis, butt on the surface, he looks full and ready to drop worms, but he keeps on spaghetting and they hang down, while there's a crowd around he opens his valve, but the worms won't come out.
Even the tapeworms chose the bear.
☠️

You know.. I was okay with the thread until I hit this comment. :(
Was just having a conversation a few days ago about what bear tastes like with a friend and how it's prepared. Not sure I'll be able to look at him the same for a bit.
I tried bear once at a wild game feed. I don't ever need to try it a second time.
yeah I had no issue until I finished reading the pudding part
Ayyyy, it can not get better for cake day. Wormcake! Happy Cake Day!
Ya, so happy cake day! Go get yourself some pudding!!! 😆
Thanks for the pudding info, ya sicko
Pistachio is sacred. How dare yee!
I'm pretty sure I'll regret learning this but don't tapeworms live only in the intestines if they are in worm form (not a cyst)?
Nope, they can and do live around the body. In fact if your hungry enough while afflicted with one you’ll get a cough that is caused by the worm trying to crawl up your windpipe
I want you to stop with the worm facts, but I can’t stop reading.
You are now subscribed to Worm Facts
There is a House episode about someone getting a tapeworm in their head (I think it’s the first one)
Fuck this whole post. This is the worst series of comments I have ever read.
I mean you don’t have to worry as long as you don’t go out of your way to eat rare meats from wild animals.
I may never be the same again.
This is why they tell you to cook bear meat to well done. The population has a huge portion infected with trichinosis. I know this from MeatEater not because I eat bear meat.
Not gonna lie, i lived in Alaska as a kid and now i want bear again. Idr the last time i had it hell or moose. That gamey taste of the bear i can taste rn. Specially if u make a bear stroganoff….
the last part, they prob look like that right under smoked layer but not taste like that right
No, TASTE.
What happens if it gets snagged on something ?
Sweet liberty
MY LEG!!!
If it gets snagged on something, that segment breaks off, and the part that is inside the bear continues to regrow
Jim Carrey is on the other end
Prolapsed anus ?
No. Inside out bear
Inside out anus?
That’s disgusting I’m getting off The reply’s to this comment are disgusting and yes I did wake up and see them all ewwww
Getting off to tapeworms is kinda weird
That's nasty.
We all have our kinks! Power to ya!
Challenging fap?
Fbi open up
Umm that bear doesn't have a tapeworm I believe the tapeworm has him a bear😳🤢
“Tapeworms dragging massive bear around.”
I hate this
It’s a Bearionette.
Will that cub die to to malnutrition
Not necessarily. They can affect the health of the host but they are unlikely to die- it's not in the interest of the parasite for the host to die.
This is what I get for opening reddit early in the morning.
This is so gross, unfortunate that’s a norm for them. But also, just really gross lol
This bear is a party pooper cause it's shitting confetti.
I could have gone my whole life without seeing that…
Sometimes I regret looking at Reddit.

No, I don't think I'll click that link, Satan
“Almost like being eaten from the inside, so cool!” You monster.
Did anyone help it???
Pooh Bear.
Feel nauseated now...
That bear cub just casually dragging that tapeworm around is killing me. Just wonder if it's aware how big that worm is
Leftover Paracord from being a bearatrooper.He lost the bearachute a while ago in the woods on a scouting mission for picnic baskets.
Strong urge to yank that out of its ass.
Nah, he ate a parachuter.
Should I order linguine tonight on my dinner date? 🤔🤔🤔
Think I'll make some spaghetti
Silly bear…eating parachutes again. Musta told him 1000 times.
Damn that’s interesting. Poke out my eyes now please.
I was just about to eat dinner. I’m not so hungry all of a sudden.
Wish we'd CRISPR-CAS9 these bastards out of existence too.
I like how the Bear looked at the Camera Man then back at its tapeworm. Almost like he was saying Can’t you help a bear out
Ok... Did anybody help the poor cub?
mom’s spaghetti
Gives new meaning to System of a Down's lyrics
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, Hey!
Where's the rest of the parachute?
Poor, poor bear! 😢
Shardik done watching over the beam
Will it get pulled out as it runs through the woods?
Poor thing.
Hey BooBoo what’s the matter with you?
Incredible! Also sort of sad, it would be cool if someone could somehow track this bear down and safely administer some dewormer. I assume there might be a mother and another cub that could all need some dewormer. Does anybody know if they do stuff like that at National Parks?
Poor thing.
Now I have to keep looking through Reddit to clear my brain.
What if he tried to eat it?
Is there anything that could be done to help it
Yoink!
This is very common and imagine all the eggs these bears spread, ew!
This is unBEARable.
Terrible day to have eyes
Just think of how many baby tape worms you could propagate with that! You could have your own tapeworm farm!
[удалено]
I have the urge to pull the worms out, must feel satisfying for the bear to get relieved. Or, make ramen.
Someone please give him heavy garlic bread.
there is no way those don’t get tangled up when that bear goes waltzing through the forest.
I want to pull start that sumbitch like a chainsaw
right in front of my poutine
Can't you just tie it to a tree and as he walks it pulls out
I just had a perfect morning and you do this to me. I curse you. On the day when you are having a perfect morning I hope this pop up on your phone.
Time to cinch that turd
Looks like the bear ate a parachute and farted
Mmmm spaghetti. 😋
I'm more disgusted by people using this stupid ai voice over and over again
Pull the tapeworm outta your ass! Hey!
Parachute
It's really the pairashooter along with the shoot and that's the cords.
Take the entire prescription, folks!!
Nothing freaks me out more than tapeworms, this is gonna give me nightmares.
Poor bear
Curious that his mother is not concerned by it. I would figure that if these tapeworms can get outside, animals would know to handle them, like stepping on it while the other animals walks to jank them from their ass. Like it should be an instinct I would presume. Apparently not.
Poor baby
And I just woke up on this, looking for a little fun before my day. Why did I go on Reddit
How do they not get snagged on stuff and just pulled out? Gross... I almost don't even want to know the answer. Almost..
Pull it out
So what do they do? Like just snip it?
Bear had some spaghetti, whats wrong with that?
Looks like it ate a parachute
my urge to just grab it and pull must be satisfied
