Would you swallow a parasite... on purpose?!

The "Tyra Show" investigates this shocking new diet trend. We'll meet two women who say they're willing to ingest the potentially deadly tapeworm in an effort to lose weight. We'll find out just how big these creepy crawlies can get -- and meet a man who actually sells them on the Internet. Also, meet a woman who has had a patch sewn onto her tongue to purposefully make it painful to swallow. Last, the latest trends in tiny pets!

Please note, PETA has contacted the show and does not recommend keeping monkeys as pets.


NEXT: Meet Curly Nikki

I'm wondering why my comment from earlier is missing. Was that too controversial, though there is cursing and arguing in the comments?

Hey Hey..First off I must say I do agree with a large marjority, when they say that this is ludacris to even think of wanting to ingest something like that!! GROSS..on the flip side, I must comment on something else, I LUV the Tyra shows!!! Girl I even DVR them, so I dont miss an episode but what does disturb me is that ive also watched Americas Next Top Model too..which the 1st season I enjoyed because it was new and fresh, but everything gets old..no offense Tyra..but the thing that really gets me and DONT hate me Tyra for saying this because I do have mad love for ya, but why is it that you are soooo focused on people loving themselves for who they are and what they look like, yet you host a show (ANTM) whos main focus is on the WAY the girls look?? Hmm..Ive always pondered this!! A little contradicting, NO? I mean dont get me wrong, I know a big girl has won already, but come on now she is far from your "average" big girl, lets get real for a min. BUT no haterade here, just wondering! SMOOCHES!
