Calling out the cigarettes but ignoring the next line about kerosene.

If you did them the other way, kerosene then cigs, well that would burn the parasite out, sure, but the host… well, it might hurt a little.
iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You can drop a lit cigarette in kerosene and it will just put the cigarette out. You can also so that with diesel. You cannot, however, do that with gasoline.

I mean, nicotine is a nature pesticide made by tobacco plants. It’s kinda the same with capsaicin and humans love that shit. In a life or death situation this would probably be preferable to dying, at least.
Realistically this is probably an older manual and shouldn’t be followed to the letter. You should not be eating less than 2 cigarettes a day.
No, seriously, don’t eat cigarettes.

Vomiting won’t get them out. If when you vomit you’re bringing up matter from where they live then you’ve got much bigger problems than just a worms infection.

This is field survival manual, meant as a last resort for situations when you’re miles from civilization and neither a pharmacy nor a medic are available.
Of course there are better options out there.

Yeah but I just wanna eat cigarettes. They make my mouth all tingly.

I just skip that whole part and boof my capcaisin.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Btw for the capsaicin thing. It’s one of the going theories for why warmer places all around earth tend to traditionally eat much spicier foods than colder places. Food spoils faster in the heat, and the spice both masks the spoilt taste and can help, or is thought to help, cleanse you of parasites.
(I know spicy plants don’t grow in colder places, too, but the tendency holds for colder regions that would have had access to hot plants)

Not rather keep the food longer edible by killing bacteria & fungus?

“two tablespoons of kerosene is good; any more than that don’t be stupid.”

You can repeat this treatment

You can have a little kerosene, as a treat

in fact the only treatment you can’t repeat is the water.

The kerosene one works.
PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 2 months ago
Yeah, because it kills you. Kerosene and similar low-viscosity hydrocarbons in your stomach migrate to the lungs, causing them to collapse. Not a nice way to go.
They only found out after some kids mysteriously died upon ingesting minute amounts of lamp oil.acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 months ago
One of the ways worm infestations can kill, especially kids, is when it gets so bad they start travelling up the esophagus and can block the upper air ways. In these extreme cases, in the absence of another medication at hand, a spoonful of kerosene can save a life.
My grandma saved a neighbor’s 6 year old kid doing just that. The girl was later taken to the hospital and made a full recovery, but would have asphyxiated otherwise.

I wonder how tobacco/nicotine pouches compares. I ingest around 100-mg of nicotine with those daily
emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
I doubt you’re ingesting much of any of it, it’s being absorbed directly into your bloodstream through your gums. Actually eating it would have a totally different effect on intestinal parasites.

I spray my garden with couple of cigarettes worth of tobacco water once in a while - works great as a natural insecticide!
I also used to live next to a tobacco plantation in Thailand once and the plant itself is quite incredible - basically untouchable by disease or insects so completel hands free and the fields are really cozy.

I’m not sure if you’re trolling or not but I’m too lazy to search if you are.

I am sure they think that it is the tobacco that is a insecticide and not the nicotine that was added to said tobacco…
Slovene@feddit.nl 2 months ago
No, it’s an actual thing. My parents also soak tobacco in water and then use it in their garden. But I don’t know if it actually does anything or not because I’m also too lazy to look it up

It’s also handy if you eat apple seeds
PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Apple seeds are fine unless you’re eating hundreds. Then you have a different kind of problem.

Don’t you judge my apple seed eating addiction, I can stop whenever I want.

The worms
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I mean for dealing with worm parasites in the field, given limited supplies and (I’m assuming) this being a pretty old manual, this isn’t too bad.
Basically instructions for forcing out the entire contents of your stomach or using something that is probably handy to kill them before they do too much damage to you.
over_clox@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve actually done this once before, as I was briefly having belly issues and honestly couldn’t eliminate the possibility of a parasite.
It made me feel a bit weird for a day or so, but not too bad really. It did slow my cigarette craving for a while too. It didn’t outright evacuate my guts as you might assume, also apparently I didn’t have any intestinal worms thankfully.
I think the way this is meant to work is that if you do have worms, the nicotine is supposed to shock the little demons into unclamping their jaws and basically evicting themselves.
I’d stand by this technique for survivalists in a pinch though.
Apytele@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
It also paralyzes your cilia so it’s not improbable (cilia are the little hairs that line your breathey tubes and rhythmically beat to push gunk up and out). It’s actually why the smokers cough usually gets worse a few days after quitting then stays worse until you’re finished hacking up all the built up tar. Your cilia wake up to your respiratory tract fucking trashed like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Same for 4 tablespoons of salt in a quart of water. This will make you piss out of your asshole your body wants to get rid of it so fast. 30 mins of stomach gurgles, ten minutes of the most liquid to ever come out of your asshole since last you tried to boof a 6 pack, and then you’re good to go.
