Aajonus Tapeworm

[2005] 

[Aajonus] 

So it's a delicate balance. 

[Attendee] 

When you said you got a parasite in your body, how do you know you had one there? 

[Aajonus] 

I started passing it in my feces.  

[Attendee] 

You can see it? 

[Aajonus] 

Oh yeah.  

[Attendee] 

What does it look like? 

[Aajonus] 

It was a tapeworm. I passed 25 feet of it one day and 30 feet of it another day, but I saw parts of it passing for about four months, and then all of a sudden it finished its work, and within two weeks I had dumped the whole thing.  

[Attendee] 

Did you catch it? 

[Aajonus] 

Oh yeah, I caught it.  

[Attendee #2] 

Was it still alive? 

[Aajonus] 

Oh, no. Once it's out of the body, it doesn't survive. You get these little links, like some kind of pasta. It looked like pasta, you let them sit and dry up. They just disappear. They just completely disappear, and there's this very teeny, little thing, you know, they could get in the dirt anywhere.
