Okay... This feels like the most "troll-like" post I've ever posted here,
but I assure you, the question is legitimate and comes from me recently
reading the "US Army Survival Manual" I bought at a book sale this summer.
On page 26 of section 3, it says you can use the following remedies to treat
an intestinal problem caused by parasites:
1.) Saltwater. Mix 4 tablespoons of salt in 1 quart of water and drink.
Do not repeat this treatment
Thoughts: Okay... This I can understand sorta... Makes a solution that is
absorbed by the parasites I suppose.
2.) Tobacco. Eat 1 to 1.5 cigarettes. The nicotine in the cigarette will
kill or stun the worms long enough for your system to pass them. If the
infestation is severe, repeat the treatment in 24-48 hours, but not sooner.
Thoughts: I can see this working. Having swallowed a cigarette once when I
was 16 or 17, I'd say this is probably really uncomfortable... But I guess
the parasitic infection is too.
3.) Hot peppers. Peppers are effective only if they are a steady part of
your diet. You can eat them raw or put them in soups or rice and meat
dishes.
Thoughts: Jalapeno good enough or do I have to take it to the Habanero or
even beyond to the Naga level hot peppers?
4.) Kerosene. Drink 2 tablespoons of kerosene but no more. If necessary,
you can repeat this treatment in 24-48 hours but no sooner.
Thoughts: Wow. Siphoning gasoline tastes bad when you mess up. I can't
imagine what kerosene tastes like... I also can't imagine that doing this
often is very good for you or your kidneys, liver, intestines, stomach,
tongue, throat, or arse.
Who tests this stuff?!?

Pointless using this approach when more effective ways of dealing
with intestinal parasites are available and arent expensive.

Or kills them in theory, anyway.

with intestinal parasites are available and arent expensive.

Not necessarily, some are symptom free.

Mindlessly silly.

Even more stupid using this approach when more effective ways of
dealing with intestinal parasites are available and arent expensive.

Not as bad, its not as volatile.

Yeah, its a stupid approach if the usual treatment for intestinal
parasites is available, and it always is except in the situation
that manual was written for, even in third world countrys.
And it makes a hell of a lot more sense to avoid getting intestinal parasites
in the first place by using any of the obvious ways to ensure that.
> Who tests this stuff?!?
Presumably that crap was tested at vast expense to the US taxpayer using
suckers that didnt have any real choice as far as being victims was concerned.

This is the US Army Survival Manual. It's a book which has stuff like
12 ways to get fresh water in the desert or when stranded on an island.
Fresh water is normally cheap and available. This book is about what
to do when the usual conditions don't apply.

This is a *SURVIVAL* manual. What part of that don't you get?
They didn't put this stuff in there if it was bull. The kerosene remedy
was supposedly used in WWII POW camps for tapeworms when the POWs
couldn't access medication.
