The One with the Tapeworm

When I saw something suspicious in the stool, I did NOT freak out. No, I calmly made my way to Google. Google freaked out. Called my sister twice, she was not answering. In desperation, I called my dad.

"Hey, Dad! What is up?" *trying hide the quiver in my voice*

"Oh, yeah? Janne is there? Can I talk to her? I'm having a freak out moment." *Big Props to Dad that he handed the phone to Janne without a peep!* *Pretty sure he thought I was freaking out cause he thought I was pregnant. NOT pregnant.*

"I HAVE TAPEWORMS!" *talking very calmly freaking the f out!*


Jon came home after I made my freak out phone call to him. Even laid out the reasons why I believed I had tapeworms...I eat raw meat (almost mooing counts, right?), raise animals, worked for years reading cat/dog stool samples at the vet clinic, I'm skinny, I've probably eaten undercooked pork at some point, my headaches (they have to be caused by tapeworm cysts in my brain!), etc., etc.

Good thing he came home and investigated my claims.

It was an onion. I had pizza last night.

Peace and Catch you Worms Later!

  1. Sara, this post is cracking me up! Google can be so dangerous sometimes, I can't tell you all the random ailments I've self-diagnosed over the years. Glad to hear you don't have worms :)

  4. Ha! Good news. I guy I knew in high school (seriously, it wasn't me) once had tapeworms after camping in the MN Boundary Waters. Trying to be as non-graphic as I can here, when the worm made it's appearance....it just kept going and going and going. Suffice it to say, he had a really great story to tell to teenagers.

  6. OK- I don't know if I'm relieved you don't have tw or worried that you are checking stool. Very conflicted. Not only is google dangerous- but WebMD is awful. After one sitting, I was convinced I not only had MS and TB, but thought for sure I had rabies. Not good.

  7. FTR, I usually don't inspect my poop and I've NEVER asked Jon to come look at my log...BUT, we were out of TP and I looked...usually I cover it with TP and that is that. :S

  8. I think I'm just glad you don't have worms.

    And glad that's one ailment my husband hasn't yet self-diagnosed for himself. His pap was known for giving the whole family a dose of wormer along with the livestock. They def did not appreciate that!
