I've never heard that before.  Sometimes I need to satisfy the urge to crunch, so I eat them dry.  Far as I know I'm still healthy....

There are a couple that I know of, and they are foodborne. The first woudl be Trichinomas. It comes from eating undercooked pork. It's symptoms are swelling around the eyes, muscle pain, and fever. Another would be a tapeworm. Its biggest symptom is rapid weight loss. Another is a parasite you can get from certain fish. It's really gross. It attaches to your esophogus and lays its eggs there. The host usually learns about it by coughing up the eggs. Nasty!

1.Yes, it doesn't seem possible when you are not hungry, but when you are starving, the survival instinct always rules..\n\n2.Well, as a microbiologist, I never heard about such thing as cuting the finger... i mean if you are in a Level 5 security, and you cut out a finger... you practically expose your "inside" to the pathogen element.. I don't think that it would work.  So the answer is no...\n\n3. Here again, if i knew that I would be the only way for me to survive... I'dd do it right away\n\nAnd by the way... we never know how are we goin to react in such situation... and what I'm telling today might be really far away of the real actions I would take in such circomstances... \n\nThat was an interresting question anyway :P

I did.  Had a few of them (all small), in a 75 gallon tank.  They did great, but one was territorial -- might have been a male??  I kept one for a long time, and he didn't have any problems -- he got to the point where he'd eat worms out of my hand and knew when it was time to eat.  Pretty cool.\n\nThey are very adaptable to different water temps (consider they live in 40 degree water up north, to 80 degree water down south), and don't require a lot of maintenance, except for food, which gets expensive -- they only eat live food and they eat a LOT.

its just like pasta, bread and potatoes, if you eat too much, it could give you extra weight, especially if your not moving around too much.

There are many types of worms i think it depends on the type...if you say a ringworm well microscopically its pesty carnivore coz it eats you up...but if you say an earthworm well its an omnivore coz it lives down on muddy earth deep in the soil...ok human friend but for more info browse the web human friend!!!oh! more info some poeple eat worms!

.......essentially yes.\n\nmost people lose their appetite after throwing up what they ate becuase its just really gross and disgusting to see what has been inside the body.\nHowever, its not the perfect solution because some of the calories remain in the body although you throw up.\nAlso, in order to become skinny from throwing up,\nyou should throw up EVERYTHING or your body will go into\n"saving mode" and try to hold on to every little calorie that comes in, which you will gain weight a lot faster.

I am sorry for your situation :(\nI have read that swallowing gobs of unchewed rice or bread helps. I have not tried that personally though. \n\nDo a google search on the subject, and you should surely come across lots of viewpoints and information related to this.\n\nI would suggest you see a doc soon. I wouldn't wanna take chances. \n\nHope it comes out soon!

this is going to sound nasty, but there are chewable iron gummy worms, they look like swedish fish turned into worms, but they thought i was anemic for a while, and i had those, just ask in your local pharmacy, there pretty good, they taste kinda like cranberry and cherrys had a baby, teehee

Have no fear.\n\nFor it is written that all acts of eating pasta are sacred rituals in the FSM's honor, yea, even unto the whole wheat or rice noodle.\n\nPastafarian 25:6

Yes, from experience and articles I've read, that's true. Also, eating lots of flavors with no calories increases your hunger. The body can't be fooled that easy! Read the Shangri-La Diet by Seth Roberts or go to http://boards.sethroberts.net/index.php - you'll be amazed. The secret lo losing weight is flavorless calories, not the other way around!\n\nOh I saw your edit. Sorry, I gave the forum link instead of the diet itself. It's a diet based on the scientific evidence that too many flavor foods trigger your appetite and flavorless calories make your weight set-point go down (historically, body preparing to go long periods without much variety in foods e.g. winter) and when your set-point goes down your appetite decreases. The contrary also happens: when you have a lot of flavors, they must have the corresponding calories to nourish you, otherwise your body will keep sending you signals of hunger. So: flavorless calories-- weight loss; lots of flavor without calories -- wieght gain (over time, of course) Here's the link: www.sethroberts.net \nHTH!

First of all, forget Chinese food.  it stinks.  too oily.  you could do an MRI of the tissue damage done to the roof of your mouth after eating oily chinese noodles and italian ones.  my data shows a 63% rise in 2nd and 3rd degree burns (+/- 2.3%).

Mostly by eating raw or uncooked food or drinking contaminated water. Go to the doctor to find the right meds for your particular worm. Note: they do not go away by themselves, even if you aren't having symptoms.

yes, this can be normal, mastication (chewing) stimulates saliva and so on.  thus eating ------> increases bowel motility --------->pup..... or you can have IBS and dumping syndrome and so on.

Yes, sweetie as a former dancer we often had to drop weight quick. This isn't pleasant but it works. The things is not to stop eatting,because you will relaspe. #1 forget meat, it is high in fat and protein. Eat only and I mean only spinach, collard greens, celery, cereal( raisan bran) without the milk( just dry outta the box). All these foods will make you poop like crazy. No snacks! these foods are all avalible in the can, the best is MORNING GLORY they have great flavor. You also can have beans and once a week chicken breast prepared in olive oil. Don't believe that myth, about water. It's a huge myth. Drink only when you are thirsty. If you get really crazy for some real food, soups are great.(Never white soups) the are low fat and very satisfying. Flavor Tuna in the pack is also really good. So G'luck

Dear, I've been bulimic, and believe me, you don't want to go there.  What a horrible nightmare it is!!!  It's not just about the few minutes it takes to vomit after you eat or taking mega-doses of laxatives -- it takes over your entire life!  You don't think it will, but it will.  I thought the same thing at first.  I needed to lose weight and I LOVE food, so dieting was really hard.  I figured that the bulimic behaviors would make losing weight easy and I'd be happy.  Nothing could be further from the truth!  There's absolutely NO happiness once you start down that road -- no matter how much weight you lose.  After a while, your intestines lose their ability to work on their own so you then NEED to forcefully purge, not just for weight loss purposes but to rid your body of the food that it's no longer able to digest.  It then becomes really uncomfortable (painful, actually) to keep food in your system and before you know it, you can't go out with friends or take part in any activities because just in case there's not a bathroom close by, you'll be really suffering.  That's what I mean when I say it takes over your entire life (every minute of every day has to be planned around the disease).  That's not to mention the fact that the acids from vomit will eat up your esophagus so that it eventually becomes really hard to eat.  And those same acids will disintegrate your tooth enamel.  Even one more thing to mention -- when you don't allow your body to get the nutrition it needs, all of your organs are affected.  You could even have heart failure (I know a girl who died from this).  When I started down that road, I had planned to do it only until I got to my goal weight -- but by the time I reached the goal, the disease had me in its grips and wouldn't let go.  When I think about how much harm I did to myself and how much money that habit cost me (doctor bills, dental bills and psychologist bills), it makes me sick.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't do it!  It took me 10 years to stop the bulimic behaviors, but I'm still suffering some of the health effects long afterwards.  I can tell you now that I would much rather be overweight and sane than be bulimic.  I hope that I've given you some things to think about.

Some Buddhists in China and Vietnam also avoid eating strong-smelling plants such as onion, garlic, chives, shallot, and leek, and refer to these as wu hun (五葷, 'Five Spices'). One theory behind this Buddhist dietary restriction is that these vegetables have strong flavours which are supposed to excite the senses and, thus, represent a burden to Buddhists seeking to control their desires. Another theory is that these are all root crops, and harvesting them requires killing organisms in the soil.\n\ngood question aaron!
