I took a deworming tablet just to piss off my liberal friends

in life •  3 years ago 

Not really, but that is just the fun part of the reason why I took it. When a person I have known for a while started talking about how she takes dewormer pills I chuckled because I thought she was joking. Turns out she was serious and when I asked some other long-term expats about it, it turns out that they also do the same thing and have done so for a long time.

When I asked them why they said it was just a precautionary measure because the of food handling standards being significantly lower here in SE Asia. I had never heard of anyone doing this but I figured there was no reason to not do it, especially since it has no side effects other than maybe helping with Covid :P

I don't think I have any worms living inside of me. I certainly hope I don't but if i do, I like knowing that they are about to face their end. Honestly, I really wanted Ivermectin so I could get under the skin of some of my buddies who are hyper liberal and HATE Ivermectin because the TV told them to. Unfortunately the pharmacist nearest my condo didn't have any and the joke isn't important enough to me to travel to another pharmacy.

I suppose there isn't any good reason to not take this tablet since it was 25,000 VND which is around $1.

My dog Nadi was looking at me while I was eating me and probably thought "hey! Those are supposed to be for me!"

This situation has reminded me that I have not given her any anti-parasite chewables in nearly a year and I should probably get on top of that.

I had never heard of people taking anti-parasite pills before and was kind of shocked to find out that this is so common that basically every corner pharmacy always has these in stock. Oh well, it was $1 and it tasted like a small chocolate candy. I haven't noticed any difference so far. Have you ever done this?

I'm kind of shocked you've lived in these Asian countries for such a long time and never had to be treated for parasites, to be honest. I assume exposure to them in those areas is much higher than other places like the US and canada. Maybe they've been crushing these tablets up into your food at restaurants and you've just never knew it. Kind of like a roofie-colada special, but, good for you instead of rapey.

I never knew it was a thing for people until recently. That's why i laughed when my friend told me about it. I'll be taking it semi regularly. Who knows how many critters have been thriving in my guts over the past decade and a half.

This has nothing to do with the worms, but I just found out that Psychosexual band (Old drummer from FFDP dressed as a BDSM devil) I showed you before that disappeared has reappeared under a new name with new music. And, it's just as fucking awful as before. So, I obviously thought you'd love to hear it. Just wait until you hear the chorus lyrics.

just as cringe as before. He's probably enjoying the dislike button being disabled on YT. I'm laughing right now. His ability to write lyrics has definitely not improved

What, you don't like lines like" tonight, lets make love on a grave. tonight, I have to breed you.", that's just absolutely classic.

yeah, i mean, what's not to love about that? It's the pinnacle of poetry. Had he been around hundreds of years ago the world wouldn't have even heard of Shakespeare

It does just baffle my mind that this dude was in a pretty successful band for awhile, and this is where he ended up at 45 years old. In a latex devil daddy suit singing about breeding women. It's honestly just kind of sad, man.
