I mean for dealing with worm parasites in the field, given limited supplies and (I’m assuming) this being a pretty old manual, this isn’t too bad.
Basically instructions for forcing out the entire contents of your stomach or using something that is probably handy to kill them before they do too much damage to you.
I’ve actually done this once before, as I was briefly having belly issues and honestly couldn’t eliminate the possibility of a parasite.
It made me feel a bit weird for a day or so, but not too bad really. It did slow my cigarette craving for a while too. It didn’t outright evacuate my guts as you might assume, also apparently I didn’t have any intestinal worms thankfully.
I think the way this is meant to work is that if you do have worms, the nicotine is supposed to shock the little demons into unclamping their jaws and basically evicting themselves.
I’d stand by this technique for survivalists in a pinch though.
It also paralyzes your cilia so it’s not improbable (cilia are the little hairs that line your breathey tubes and rhythmically beat to push gunk up and out). It’s actually why the smokers cough usually gets worse a few days after quitting then stays worse until you’re finished hacking up all the built up tar. Your cilia wake up to your respiratory tract fucking trashed like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.
Just curious, is this true for smokeless tobacco too? I mean not the tar bit obviously, just the paralysing.
Honestly the research on exactly why this happens is sparse enough as it is. It’s basically impossible to do truly conclusive studies with tobacco because of how dangerous it is. We can’t even technically conclusively say that tobacco causes cancer because to truly scientifically assert that you’d have to do a randomized controlled trial.
To have a truly randomized controlled trial you would have to randomly select people from the overall sample and tell them to start smoking for the purposes of the study (otherwise you can’t technically rule out there being some third thing that both causes the cancer and causes people to want to smoke). And because we know tobacco is insanely addictive and are all but that one millimeter short of proving that it causes cancer, no medical ethics oversight body would ever allow a study that requires participants to start smoking.
Oh absolutely, I’m glad we’re not doing that. I don’t get why there’s so few statistical studies, like ‘people who have been using (e.g.) chewing tobacco have x health stat compared to y in the general population’. It’s frustrating, especially with how many young people are using snus and vapes in recent years. It’s tough to make informed health decisions when the information is hard to come by.
Same for 4 tablespoons of salt in a quart of water. This will make you piss out of your asshole your body wants to get rid of it so fast. 30 mins of stomach gurgles, ten minutes of the most liquid to ever come out of your asshole since last you tried to boof a 6 pack, and then you’re good to go.
I don’t think I would even be able to drink that. As soon as it touches my tongue, my throat would clamp shut.
It most definitely doesn’t taste good, but “it’s super effective”
a handy mushroom called the “death cap” mushroom works particularly well too.
Calling out the cigarettes but ignoring the next line about kerosene.
If you did them the other way, kerosene then cigs, well that would burn the parasite out, sure, but the host… well, it might hurt a little.
You can drop a lit cigarette in kerosene and it will just put the cigarette out. You can also so that with diesel. You cannot, however, do that with gasoline.
A cigarette won’t usually light gasoline, if you’re quick and it’s cold enough you can plunge a lit match into gas. Diesel is practically difficult to ignite, I mix it with gasoline for a good, safer firestarter with a longer burn
That is not a skill am willing to practice in order to get good at.

I ain’t gonna test that, but yeah, I believe you.
That’s for the marines.
Nono, that would be Crayon eating
You will sometimes hear older pilots refer to a magnetic compass as a “whiskey compass.” Magnetic compasses are usually filled with some liquid to dampen it so it’s ever possible to read; an air-filled compass never stops swinging back and forth. Water would be the obvious choice, but then you’ll have an algae filled compass.
Legend has it that the US Navy in World War II used ethanol to fill the compasses. And then the planes would come back with empty compasses because the navy pilots drank it. So they switched to kerosene. And then the marines drank it.
Mix 1/2 of a yellow crayon with 1/5th of grey in a solution of kerosine to extract the cadmium and lead. Distill with lit cigarette. Consume promptly. Repeat treatment every 8hrs preferably more often.
The American way.
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.
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.
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)
Beats drinking kerosene for sure
Drink kerosene, smoke cigarette, breath fire.
2 TABLEspoons! Every 24 hours!
The kerosene one works.
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.
Scary italics.
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…
Your mom is clearly dumb.
It’s also handy if you eat apple seeds
Apple seeds are fine unless you’re eating hundreds. Then you have a different kind of problem.
Don’t you judge my apple seed eating addiction, I can stop whenever I want.
The worms
