It wasn't a tape worm. A tapeworm long enough to drop out of your arse would be 1) a world record and 2) excruciatingly painful. It was just the colon cleanse product.
FYI This was not a tape worm. The same thing happened to me about 6 months ago. Its what happens if you take too much psylium fiber (which is whats in those cleanses). The fiber is basically a power, but it expands when it touches water. So you're basically swallowing an indigestible piece of playdoh. Once it gets in your intestine it is slowly formed into a long rope of fiber and mucus, since that's what your intestine is. Once you try to expel it, you have to grab it out otherwise it just hangs there (ever seen a cat eat and poop yarn). The first time it happened to me I freaked out just as much, but its definitely not really a tape worm. See pictures at www.healthynewage.com/colonkit.html
For cats yes, but this isn't yarn, its like a putty. It breaks, but you have to yank it. Otherwise it just dangles out of your anoose like you have a smelly tail!
