Warm Milk Tape­worm Treatment

So I had tapeworms as a kid and I sat on a pot of boiling milk. That took care of it but boy did it feel weird What? Please explain further? Sure. Apparently the smell of warm milk attracts them. So I had to squat over this pot of boiling milk (literally while it was on the stove) and wait until it came out. You can’t pull it because if it snaps, every little piece has reproductive organs and eggs. So you just sit there and wait for it to start wriggling out slowly and feels incredibly weird.

A dark-mode Reddit comment thread describes an absurd childhood “treatment” for tapeworms: sitting over a pot of boiling milk until the worm emerged. The follow-up explanation makes the story increasingly grotesque and ridiculous, so the meme works as a reaction to bizarre oversharing and unbelievable anecdotes.
