00:00the most insane weight loss method in history. Women in the Middle Ages actually let a 30-foot

00:06worm grow inside their bodies just to get thinner. Sounds like a horror movie, but back then,

00:12this was a real beauty trend. Women in the Victorian era were also interested in losing

00:17weight, but instead of relying on traditional workout methods like cardio, they turned to

00:22something much simpler, swallowing an egg that came from a tapeworm, which is a type of parasite.

00:29Once the tapeworm hatched in the patient's intestine, it fed on any nutrients supplied to

00:34the body, eventually growing up to a whopping 15 to 30 feet. And despite the chance that the

00:41patient's heart or brain might get infected by the worm, women simply didn't care that much,

00:47because it actually helped them lose weight. And once that was achieved, the only problem left was

00:52getting the tapeworm out of the body. First, a doctor made the patient starve for a good amount of

00:58time, along with the tapeworm, and lured the worm out through her mouth with the smell of food.

01:04Second, the patient was placed in water heated to body temperature, so the worm could crawl out

01:09through the other end. Lastly, instead of waiting for it to come out, the doctor made the patient

01:15swallow a luring device to catch the worm inside. However, since shoving a metal object down the throat

01:22is extremely dangerous, and no one knew how long it would take for the tapeworm to take

01:26the bait, the patient's chance of choking to death was pretty high. But this was only half

01:32the story. The truly terrifying part was yet to come.
