oh yuck!! I was really hoping that someone would come on here and tell me that that's an old wive's tale.....oh well, I guess I suspected I have parasites a few months ago - haven't seen any evidence per se, but feel like they are there all the same. As much as I hate the idea of seeing them in the toilet, I guess I would feel better with them out of me rather than in! Can Tapeworms develop that quickly though? It's only been a week that I've been this hungry, and before that my appetite was normal.
