The post recounts the harrowing experience of a man who complained of abdominal pain and nausea before vomiting up a live worm. The accompanying video, posted by Pharmacist Emeka, has garnered over 5 million views.
According to the pharmacist’s account, the patient visited his pharmacy complaining of abdominal discomfort and nausea. Upon inquiry, the man revealed that he had not dewormed himself in years. The pharmacist promptly provided deworming medication, which led to a startling outcome.
After taking the medication, the patient experienced a strong urge to vomit the following morning. To his shock, he expelled a live worm during the episode. Pharmacist Emeka shared a video of the worm and a picture of the prescribed medication, sparking widespread concern among viewers.
The viral video depicts a live worm, several inches in length, wriggling in a washbasin. It has amassed over 5 million views on X, with the comments section filled with similar horrifying accounts from other users.
Pharmacist Emeka’s intention in sharing the post was to caution others about the importance of deworming. He emphasized that parasitic worms can enter the body through contaminated food or water, and adults should ideally undergo deworming two to three times a year.
Various types of parasitic worms, such as tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms, can infest and reside in the human body, posing significant health risks.
