my big brother just phoned me up, it seems he brought more than holiday snaps home with

him from his safari and Mauritius trip - it seems he now has quite a rare tropical infestation called Taenia solum (Pork Tapeworm) living in him

I won't go into too much of the detail but basically bits of the live tape worm escape during the day!!

The medicine should kill it straight away and he will have to pass it - could be interesting depending on the size

No medicine in the UK - The Dr was well impressed and was laughing when giving my Brother the info over the phone!!

Hayling Island for him in future!
