I mean, nicotine is a natural pesticide made by tobacco plants. It’s kinda the same with capsaicin and humans love that shit. Plus inducing vomiting could potentially get those lil’ critters outta there. 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.
In that case, I would suggest picking up some chewing tobacco or maybe some snus.
Oh, and don’t swallow.

Capsasian tickles on the other end when it is done.
Little bonus.
Did you know your anus has taste receptors?
You’re welcome.
It can’t discern flavors, just tingles a bit.
I just skip that whole part and boof my capcaisin.
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 a day helps the
medicinecigarettes go down.”"Ah yes I see the problem. The cigarettes have to be unlit. We’ll mention it in the next edition. "
You CAN??? repeat this treatment in 24-48 hours.
You can have a little kerosene, as a treat
in fact the only treatment you can’t repeat is the water.
And, you know, 4 tablespoons of salt
Boom!
Oh, the cigars first. Then the kerosene! Got it!
Beats drinking kerosene for sure
Drink kerosene, smoke cigarette, breath fire.
Charizard origin story.
2 TABLEspoons! Every 24 hours!
Just a weird alcoholic mix with a denaturant (against alcoholics getting even more liver damage).
Eating a cigarette isn’t going to outright kill you, some worm having a happy meal in your stomach might, or at least incapacitate you enough to get killed by something - or someone.
There’s lots of things in life that you shouldn’t do, but can help you in an emergency. There’s chlorine tablets - not exactly healthy, but can help with gut bacteria in a pinch. Cauterizing a wound is fucking painful and is not recommended by modern physicians - but it beats bleeding out or dying to an infection.
Keep in mind that those are not “DIY at home” kind of tips, but "You got shot in the middle of nowhere and you’r close to dying. You will also find similar tips in most other army handbooks.
Man, you would bring up cauterizing a wound…
Many years ago we had a terrier dog that got shot by a neighbor in her right hip. Thankfully it only went under the skin and came back out like 3 inches away, so no serious internal damages, but the dog’s wounds kept bleeding and bleeding…
Dad couldn’t afford a vet, but I wasn’t gonna just let the dog bleed out either. I got out my soldering iron and cauterized the wounds myself until she quit bleeding. Yeah the dog didn’t like it much, nor did she like me very much afterwards, but I successfully stopped the bleeding and she ended up fully healing up with no problems.
Pretty sure a lot of solder is lead based, for anyone needing to replicate this make sure you thoroughly clean the soldering iron.
Yes I did do my best to clean the tip first.
Choose your battles in life, either leak out or take your chances…
Our dog Rosie totally survived, no complications, aside from her not exactly liking me much after that…
Did she ever come back around on you? If only we could explain things to them haha
She was already a bit of a mean ass bitch even before that happened, probably half of why one of the neighbors shot her in the first place.
She did chill out a bit after all that though, but she never particularly liked me after that either.
You seem to misunderstand the American healthcare system. Always act as if you’re close to dying, because the insurance companies will kill you with debt.
Nah, you can die in the ER waiting room like my old friend Ryan P.
He literally died in the waiting room in the hospital, he died from a dental abscess that bursted into his bloodstream and went to his brain.
Dude died at age 27, and he wasn’t even part of the 27 club, he was seeking treatment! 😭
Yup, my ex demanded I get treatment for an abscess two years ago, and this year when I was concerned about it, my dentist (who I went to with an emergency) told me it would have developed into an abscess. Instead it was two root canals.
idk if you meant that but electrocauterization is still a thing that’s done routinely by modern physicians (and still fucking hurts). you can’t close up all blood vessels easily with other methods.
Never heard of that tbh, I would expect that they just seal the wound with plaster or something lmao. I won’t doubt it tho, medicine is wild.
Electrocautery pens are still used when you get a growth/mole removed. I’ve had it done
The kerosene one works.
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.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
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.
Thanks for the tip!
The smoke will suffocate the toxins of the apple seeds
You hair is small.
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 completly 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…
They don’t add nicotine to tobacco, tobacco plants produce nicotine. That’s why people have smoked it for 100s of years.
I hadn’t heard of this, but as far as insecticides go, this sounds about as benign as possible.
Interesting, makes me very confused on why we added nicotine to tobacco on top of what is in it already (my uncle worked on a tobacco farm as a young man and did spray the stuff). I guess they really wanted that nicotine…
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
Your mom is clearly dumb.
Scary italics.
