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.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 119 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

Isn't there enough nicotine in a cigarette to kill a non-smoker if eaten?

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. But it will make you rather queasy.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I found it eased my belly to consume the cigarette followed by a couple glasses of V8 juice.

Ah, the wonders of genetic engineering! Tomacco..

Now if only they would take theory into practice, but take THC and the other fun ingredients from weed and put the happy buzz chemicals into apples..

That would surely put a whole new twist on the idea of giving the teacher an apple...

I'd rather eat the cigarette than drink the V8.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Fine, more V8 for me haha! I actually like the stuff.

Not even remotely close to it. Cigarettes have 10-12mg of nicotine and the LD50 for ingestion is around 6-13mg/kg.

And that's assuming that the nicotine in tobacco is as bioavailable as pure nicotine.

I weigh 1 kg though

Nah, not really. Sure it might make a non-smoker feel worse while it goes through them, one eaten cigarette isn't gonna kill an adult.

Now if it was the amount of nicotine out of an entire 20 pack, or someone being stupid enough to suck/chew on a daily nicotine patch, well that would be a different story.. πŸ’€

If one does happen to have intestinal worms, well I think eating a cigarette is by far the lesser of the two discomforting evils...

No, the factoid is that there's enough nicotine in a single cigarette to kill you, if all of that nicotine got past your blood-brain barrier at once. Since that's more or less an impossibility, don't worry about eating one.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wikipedia says the lethal dose is estimated to be 6.5 to 13 mg / kg of body weight. Following that, a cig couldn't possibly kill you. Probably not even when injected into a vein

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m pretty sure you would die if I injected a cigarette into your vein.

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.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You just conjured up a childhood memory. All I can say is you're not exaggerating lol.

The most liquid to come out of their ass since childhood.

Calling out the cigarettes but ignoring the next line about kerosene.

[–] PillBugTheGreat@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] iamdefinitelyoverthirteen@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

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.

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.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is field survival manual, meant as a last resort for situations when you’re miles from civilization and neither a pharmacy nor a medic are available.

Of course there are better options out there.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah but I just wanna eat cigarettes. They make my mouth all tingly.

You CAN??? repeat this treatment in 24-48 hours.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago

You can have a little kerosene, as a treat

Eating a cigarette isn't going to outright kill you, some worm having a happy meal in your stomach might, or at least incapacitate you enough to get killed by something - or someone.

There's lots of things in life that you shouldn't do, but can help you in an emergency. There's chlorine tablets - not exactly healthy, but can help with gut bacteria in a pinch. Cauterizing a wound is fucking painful and is not recommended by modern physicians - but it beats bleeding out or dying to an infection.

Keep in mind that those are not "DIY at home" kind of tips, but "You got shot in the middle of nowhere and you'r close to dying. You will also find similar tips in most other army handbooks.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Man, you would bring up cauterizing a wound..

Many years ago we had a terrier dog that got shot by a neighbor in her right hip. Thankfully it only went under the skin and came back out like 3 inches away, so no serious internal damages, but the dog's wounds kept bleeding and bleeding..

Dad couldn't afford a vet, but I wasn't gonna just let the dog bleed out either. I got out my soldering iron and cauterized the wounds myself until she quit bleeding. Yeah the dog didn't like it much, nor did she like me very much afterwards, but I successfully stopped the bleeding and she ended up fully healing up with no problems.

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did she ever come back around on you? If only we could explain things to them haha

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

She was already a bit of a mean ass bitch even before that happened, probably half of why one of the neighbors shot her in the first place.

She did chill out a bit after all that though, but she never particularly liked me after that either.

You seem to misunderstand the American healthcare system. Always act as if you're close to dying, because the insurance companies will kill you with debt.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, you can die in the ER waiting room like my old friend Ryan P.

He literally died in the waiting room in the hospital, he died from a dental abscess that bursted into his bloodstream and went to his brain.

Dude died at age 27, and he wasn't even part of the 27 club, he was seeking treatment! 😭

idk if you meant that but electrocauterization is still a thing that's done routinely by modern physicians (and still fucking hurts). you can't close up all blood vessels easily with other methods.

Beats drinking kerosene for sure

Drink kerosene, smoke cigarette, breath fire.

I wonder how tobacco/nicotine pouches compares. I ingest around 100-mg of nicotine with those daily

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.
