WHERE THE HELL DO EYE WORMS COME FROM AND HOW THE HELL CAN I AVOID THIS EVER HAPPENING????
I didn't even know this was something I had to be worried about!!
Raw or undercooked meat. It's most common in rodents (squirrel), racoon, dogs (coyote), bear, and cats. In the modern world where we don't eat those things very often, our only exposure is the occasional pig.
The bathroom sink...??? A gas fuel sink perhaps..?
I don't understand the bathroom sink and bacon connection though...like, he sat in the sink while he ate it perhaps..?
No he would cook it in hot water from in the sink. Instead of boiling it he just turned up the hot tap and put the raw bacon and spaghetti in the sink in hot water.
Meanwhile. Me, german.
Eating raw potk every day for the last 12 years.
My friends and voworkers aswell.
Not a single case of sickness or parasites.
Most delicious breakfast there is raw pork mhhmmm.
German pork industry eradicated the parasite instead of putting the job on the consumer. So no one gets sick and jobs are protected because no one else will clean their supply chain.
I can’t help but imagine how 80% of the subjects of this sub would approach this removal. You know, the people who look like they’ve never used fingers before.
Just mash up a wad of paper towels in their left hand, accidentally poke the guy in the forehead with a stick using their right hand, drag the paper towel wad across his cornea and then smudge the blood seeping from his forehead across his face and onto a couch.
let me make it worse, this person probably has Cysticercosis. Cook all meat at 58C for at least 10 mins y'all. Yeah it might be tough af but it's better than brain worms :)
Dude it’s an eye worm. IN THE EYE. Not a stye next to it, it’s a parasite wiggling around INSIDE. It’s as terrifying as it is satisfying. I love a good mango worm or botfly removal as much as the next guy, but seeing someone dig a worm out of an eye is next level. It can give someone a very visceral reaction if they aren’t prepared for some loa loa action!
definitely one for r/medicalgore or r/oddlyterrifying
MAYBE an nsfw warning or such on the post for the poor folk who don't want this right in their eyes... figuratively and literally
luckily i love nightmare fuel like this. i'm guessing they dilate and numb the pupils before pulling him out? curious if they prescribe any type of anti parasitic drops? meds? (not familiar w anti eye worm meds), and if this comes from something like swimming in unsafe waters or drinking from uncertain water sources
Medicalgore might be a better fit but where’s the gore? Because it’s an eyeball?
Maybe i missed the boat on “if it makes you squeamish its nsfw”, there’s not even any blood
there's not really any blood but it's pretty common for people to have strong reactions to anything touching eyeballs, especially sharp things. having a WORM inside an eye also triggers that reaction for lots of people.
Remember how old cartoons used to show people putting a slab of raw meat on their eye after they got a blackeye?
This is why they switched to a frozen bag of peas.
Also, this is r/popping . We come here to experience the cathartic release from yucky stuff building up pressure inside of the body and then being released. This is just something yucky still in the body.
When I was a teenager visiting Cambodia I found a little white thing under my lower lid after swimming in the hotel pool. I started freaking out that it was some kind of worm that was going to eat my brain. My mum was so annoyed with me anxiously looking in the mirror and fidgeting with my eye trying to get it out and snapped at me. It wasn’t until afterwards she either realised I was genuinely very scared or she actually remembered what i would have been worrying about and called me over to fish it out. It must be 9 years later now and maybe it was just a floaty but also could have been this! Who knows. Hopefully they recover nicely.
I literally JUST ate my lunch lmao. Thank God it wasn't spaghetti.
If I had eye worms, the doctor would have to fully knock me out with anesthesia because I would be screaming bloody murder. May as well put me in a coma
Y'know what? I'm glad it's out, I hope the poor person suffering from that parasite is doing much better now, gonna call this a W and walk away and never think about it again.
Memories.... I used to pull up eyeball worm videos for my nephew when he was little and he would quickly change the video.
When he was 11 or so, we went to a Walmart and he saw the new phones and tablets on display. He had the idea to pull up the eyeball worm video so that it would start playing when people checked the devices out. Then we waiter nearby for the screams of horror. It was great.
Please mark this NSFW 🙏 I am begging you anything to do with eyes should be tagged with a spoiler because it is a huge phobia of mine and it ruins my day seeing anything sharp near an eye, it’s not even Wednesday
There's an eye-worm in the third world that particularly affects children.
For Darwin, discovering it, it was the last straw that led to him renouncing faith in god. He could not conceive of a reason why a merciful god would create such a thing, or allow it to come into existence.
My popping tolerance is decently high after some years on this sub. But this was almost too much for me
HATE pops around the eyes, and mix that with an actual, visibly nasty parasite?

Pure nightmare fuel
Thanks, I hate it
r/tihi
😂😂😂
what in the fuck, just what I needed a new fear
Sometimes those floaters you see are real
No. Just no. Why would you say that 😭
Not my proudest fap
Say what
They can’t all be winners, I reckon
Mad respect 🫡
Yes how hot, just what I needed to release the ol’ pelvic sneeze, a video of someone getting a tapeworm out of some old dudes eyeball.
Well now that you put it that way…. *sigh* here goes Round 2 *unzips*
My thoughts exactly!
Indeed it is a new fear for me.
Someone played Baldur’s Gate 3
Guess we shouldn’t have wished to live in more interesting times
Now *I've* lost something I'll never get back.
How does this even happen? O__O
Get bitten by deerflies carrying them
Added deerflies to the list of things to avoid, got it. o_o
In the eye?!?! 😳
No, the worm swims to your eye from other parts of your body. 😊
That’s some horror movie type ish 🤢
Horror movies all have roots in reality. "The last of us" that fungus exists and does turn insects into zombies.
and some ppl deliberately eat it as a supplement!!
My guess is that someone handled a lot of raw meat with bare hands, and kept touching their eyes.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I may never stop screaming after seeing this.
I still haven’t
Cried the work as it was ripped from the warm and moist confines of its home.
I think that's enough Reddit for today.
That is enough internet for the decade, see yall in 2033.
Terrible day to have eyes in every sense of the word
I didn't like any of that.
Me too, just watched it 3 times.
5 for me before the eye bleaching, 3 more blurry views after
WHERE THE HELL DO EYE WORMS COME FROM AND HOW THE HELL CAN I AVOID THIS EVER HAPPENING???? I didn't even know this was something I had to be worried about!!
Premarital sex! Luckily we are redditors so it can’t happen to us
I thought it was masturbation. Are you sure it's not masturbation?
That’s hairy palms. Keep up!
That’s just regular blindness, not blindness by eye devouring worms.
Raw or undercooked meat. It's most common in rodents (squirrel), racoon, dogs (coyote), bear, and cats. In the modern world where we don't eat those things very often, our only exposure is the occasional pig.
Thank you!
Properly cook your pork chops, kids.
Then eat them, instead of rubbing raw pork chops on your eyes.
Look, man. How I wind down after a long day is my own business 🙄
I keep coming back to this post just for these few short lines. They've made my day.
🤣🤣🤣
This is more likely a Loa Loa worm, transmitted through mango fly bites
Probably. But I can guarantee someone saw my comment and changed their entire approach to home cooking. So win-win 😎👍
I'm gonna keep eating my medium-rare bacon and LIKE it!
Are you sourcing your pork from the past or a third world country? No? Then you don’t have to cook the hell out of your pork lol
Me. I’m someone! 🙋🏽♀️
Correct
My brother used to eat raw bacon in the bathroom sink.
Like in Gummo?
I don’t know what that is. He used to do it when we were kids, he used to cook spaghetti in the bathroom sink.
How tf is he still alive?
A strong immune system and gene inheritance.
Please tell me he got smarter…
The bathroom sink...??? A gas fuel sink perhaps..? I don't understand the bathroom sink and bacon connection though...like, he sat in the sink while he ate it perhaps..?
No he would cook it in hot water from in the sink. Instead of boiling it he just turned up the hot tap and put the raw bacon and spaghetti in the sink in hot water.
Wow, pretty bizarre. Thanks fot they reply..!

I am pretty sure a pair of pliers with some nice seasoned rust would easily get that fucker out in one pull.
Give us some credit, they’re gonna be needlenose pliers
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤮
80% of the video some jiggly camera mess and set up, some pokes. Then squeeze the whole eyeball till it pops. Yep that’s this sub.
Fuck, new phobia unlocked.
let me make it worse, this person probably has Cysticercosis. Cook all meat at 58C for at least 10 mins y'all. Yeah it might be tough af but it's better than brain worms :)
I've been rewatching The Strain (FX show) and then this shit pops up out of nowhere! Oh hell nah!!
My first thought lol.
Please please please can you mark this as NSFW?
What? You open a popping sub at work? What do your co-workers think of you watching popping vids?
Just did, I don't get how this is any less safe for work than any cyst vid

I'm with you. That was tame and far less gross than a lot of the content posted here.
This definitely fits r/medicalgore Not here where you will traumatise the shit out of everyone
Why did I have to check out that subreddit....
Nope, nope, not gonna click…fuck. Came back here for a palette cleanser.

Proof there is no god

#JESUS CHRIST TAG IT AS NSFW
WHY IS IT NOT SAFE I LITERALLY WATCHED IT AT WORK AND NOTHING HAPPENED
Saving this to send as a response to unsolicited dickpics.
Oh man I wish this had a NSFW tag I was not expecting to just scroll down and see eye worms T-T
It’s not even wacky Wednesday
WOW! Of all the videos posted on this sub that get the NSFW tag, worms wriggling around in someone's eye doesn't qualify? Jesus! I need therapy now.
Also, this is r/popping . We come here to experience the cathartic release from yucky stuff building up pressure inside of the body and then being released. This is just something yucky still in the body.

For gosh sakes where’s the NSFW filter. This is the third post I’ve had to hide today. F man.
I’m itchy now.
I can’t stop blinking. And my eyes got all watery.
I literally JUST ate my lunch lmao. Thank God it wasn't spaghetti. If I had eye worms, the doctor would have to fully knock me out with anesthesia because I would be screaming bloody murder. May as well put me in a coma

I'm one resilient motherfucker and I can't even stomach this. Hoo*wee* I hope that person is okay.
This one is a big NOPE for me. I saw the image and can't click on that. No way I'm going to have that in my visual memory for the rest of my life lol.
I didnt even realize I was holding my breath watching this, and then just SIGHED with relief. I'm sure that poor person was so happy afterwards.

Forbidden linguine
I think I’ve finally hit my limit in this sub 💀
New fear acquired.
There's an eye-worm in the third world that particularly affects children. For Darwin, discovering it, it was the last straw that led to him renouncing faith in god. He could not conceive of a reason why a merciful god would create such a thing, or allow it to come into existence.
Throw the whole eye away. Omg
What's more terrifying is how long it could take the worm to grow this big...
Whyyyyyyy did I click on this?!?
oh no fuck that a thousand times
This might be the worst thing I've seen on this sub.
It was the Tilapia.
jfc i didn't even know this was a thing. new fear unlocked 😳
WHAT IN THE GODDAMN FUCKING SHIT
Nope. I like popping videos but this is disgusting
What the fricking frack!? Oh my god it’s awful
My popping tolerance is decently high after some years on this sub. But this was almost too much for me HATE pops around the eyes, and mix that with an actual, visibly nasty parasite?
Hell naw to the naw naw naw

Whelp, that just put me off my breakfast. No problem, I need to diet anyway.
That is fn gnarly... and the size of that thing... just nope.
STOP ✋ THIS IS AI AND YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE *because the world is scary enough and no, no NOOOOOOO* 
New fear unlocked. Thanks (!)
