Getting Out : Creeps
ass-probing for worms | from sick_rabbit - Friday, April 22, 2005
accessed 7754 times Is Vaseline-slimed fingers in the rear a true anti-worm treatment? Has anyone else experienced it? Out of the very rare memories I have of my childhood, one is rather strange, and yet I have but recently questioned it. That memory is of often being "probed" (to not say fingered) by adults (of both sexes) with Vaseline-covered fingers. This, I was told, was to get rid of the worms, and was done in bed before going to sleep. I was age six to eight at the time.
I'm curious to know if this really is a valid technique against worms (something I believed until I found out that cheap and effective pills existed). I won't go into the details of 'why' we could have had worms (TF speaks for itself), but it seemed it was quite often.
If anyone knows of or has experienced this worm treatment, please tell me, thanks. |

It's certainly not a TREATMENT for worms, that can only be done with worm medicine. I think your mother was just CHECKING for worms. (They open the bottom and use a piece of sticky tape to see if there's anything there...I know..Eeew.) Although I have a much simpler method: Ask your child if their bottom is itchy at night. If it isn't, they don't have threadworm. And I don't think garlic helps either, contrary to the Childcare Handbook. You need worm medicine.(reply to this comment) |

I remember that!!! it use to happen allmost every week to "protect" us from worms.... and sometimes just for fun they would put whole garlic cloves up your bum...which was supossely suposse to help...this happened to me and dozens or kids in my home when I was as young as 3 till about age 7
you'd get these Aunties and uncles bending you over their lap and streading your ass apart and prodding around for worms....it was freaky... the garlic cloves were worse though having to sleep with one up your ass all night.

Necrophilia according to the diagnostical and statistical manual of mentaldisorders , is a paraphilia characterized by a sexual attraction to corpses or uncontious bodies. It comes from Greek words meaning "love of the dead /and/or uncontious bodies".
Figuratively, the term "necrophilia" describes an inordinate desire to control another person, usually in the context of a romantic or interpersonal relationship; the accusation is that the person is so interpersonally controlling as to be better-suited to relationships with nonresponsive people
Commiting act during ones sleep or uncontious state weather dead or alive is in both cases necrophilia. So all of you out there who may even have had sexual interactions with your partners while they where sleeping where committing an act of necrophilia.
Sorry to break that to you.

THEY WERE NECROFILIACS. I think that all of the ass probing that they did back then which I also have clear memories of ...the times that I did catch them, was very strange.

Necromancy (Latin necromantia, Greek νεκρομαντία nekromantía ) is the alleged divination by which a person raises the spirits of the dead or, in some cases, merely their corpses. The word derives from the Greek νεκρός nekrós "dead" and μαντεία manteía "divination". It has a subsidiary meaning reflected in an alternative and archaic form of the word, nigromancy , (a folk etymology using Latin niger , "black") in which the magical force of "dark powers" is gained from or by acting upon corpses. A practitioner of necromancy is a necromancer .(reply to this comment) |

This one tiny part of a very odd existance is all that's needed to highlight how important this web site is. I mean you couldn't rightly talk to your buddies about gettin worm treatment of any description besides oral pills. I raised the issue of worms naively thinking that everyone knew about worms to be confronted with what seemed like a sea of horrified faces. That was just at the 'brand new' information that humans could even get worms and that I had had them in the past, seen them in the toilet, etc. Luckily I didn't get as far as the recommended treatment and methods for diagnosis or the whole school would have been talking about me for months!

Guys... I think I still have a garlic stuck in my butt after all these years and it has since sprouted into a neat little plantation that I care for which I harvest from time to time when making my pasta and stuff.
Well if dracula comes prowling around I'll fart in his face... that'll keep him at bay.
The nice part was in the morning when using the toilet... the garlic cloves always made a nice splash and impressive waves in the bowl. Would havta tense my butt muscles when wiping though to economize on the 3 pieces of toilet paper... couldn't afford to wipe up a garlic leaf or clover.

No, No, No, No, Nooooo
there is no acceptable treatment for worms that includes putting anything up anyones ass.
Sick or what. a lot of abusers use differnt methods to make pervy behaviour appear more " routine " we used to have cleanliness inspections. involving a full body check ?? Very Questionable ?? Of course they could have been doing it because someone else told them it was a good idea. Im sure it was just an excuse for people to have a perv. !!!!!!
Worms are treated with basic medication along with washing of all clothing and beding to kill the egs. One without the other is pointless in most cases.

My mother use to bend my sisters and I over her lap while she was sitting on the toilet (don’t remember if she had her pants up or down) and spreading our butt cheeks and looking for worms in broad daylight. She also did it to us at night with no warning. Personally, I think this is sex abuse. Opinions??

When I was living at the "heck" was that hw they spelled it?? I remember waking up to a "sweet uncle"(James was his Cult name) shining a flashlight up my butt ...I kinda freaked out and he covered up my mouth and told me to be quiet, he was checking for worms, and if I didn't tell the other kids he would'nt check me anymore...at the time I believed him but thinking back...what a sicko!!!

I remember when I moved to Macao and my parents decided to dump me with that wonderful bunch hick rustic freaks who insisted all the children sleep naked. I remember Jondy's wife Ruthie had assumed the role of self-assigned worm-inspector. She got this poor kid out in front of the entire OC class, made her bend down, AND PULLED A PINWORM OUT OF HER ASS - IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE CLASS! I was so freaked that every time I had a slight itch in my nether regions I was sure that fucked up quack was gonna come poking around in my ass. I mean they spent so much of their time making us paranoid about homosexuality and then they go poking around our asses? I bet that poor girl's traumatised for life by the humiliation!

AKA pinworm is a tiny roundworm; the females are about 10mm in length & males 3mm. The female has a sharply pointed tail end, which inspired its popular name pinworm (isn't that precious?)The worms can often be detected in the anal area by using a flashlight about two hours after bed or early in the AM. Ova can be collected from the anal area by pressing transparent tape against the anus (the only reason why someone should be inspecting [much less fingering] your bung-hole). PREVENTION: is easy because effective meds are available (oral . . .not anal!)
BTW, humans are the only host for E. vermicularis (don't you feel lucky?) Nowhere in my medical book does it state vaseline is useful in preventing and/or treating pinworm, thus, this must be an old wives tail (ops . . .tale) or an excuse to put fingers in inappropriate places on a child's body.

wow...that really does bring back the grosses of nightmares... trying not to fall to sleep knowing that you will be abruptly awaken by flashlights shining, people peering up your ass closely followed by fingers inserted up ur ass and finally ending with a garlic clove shoved up. Now that is tramatizing for a child. I learn about pin worms in school, there is plenty of pills to pop to cure you, and worse comes to worse you can place a small piece of tape over your anus and get the eggs (sorry for the visual). There are far less invasive procedures to cure a child from worms then what we had to endure.

Wow, do all cults do even the most insane things the same? I can't believe this. At Isot, we went through a period of ass-checking for worms too, accompanied by lurid discussions of how the worms come out at night and play. Fortunately for us, the adults were so put off at the idea of digging into a bunch of smelly rears, they just let the whole thing die out. I tell you, though, there is something a little bit suspect about it all, and I can still remember the look in our prophet's eyes, something prurient and sadistic. But then, since it was my butt they were discussing, I guess I could be projecting just a wee bit!

Wow, all this brings back clear memories... obviously shared. I was lucky enough not to get the garlic treatment (that must hurt! ), just stubby fingers. The flashlight under the covers was quite creepy though... ( and i can't really imagine how someone could be able to sleep through it...)
well, at least it's a relief to know it was just for the worms, heh.

I missed all that. We used worm medicine, which seemed to work just fine. Garlic up the ass!?! OUCH!
Worms thrive in tropical climates, which may account for why people in the temperate areas of the states may have never heard of such a thing.
You poor buggers.

I think most of us have been there :)
I was between the ages of 6 and 8 when I was given the monthly? (I think thats how they did it, if not it was everytime someone got worms) treatment. Everyone got it. (yes at night) But I have to say I have never actually had worms... does that mean it worked ?

Yes, I've been a recipient of the vaseline treatment. As far as I can remember, we were told that the little worms would "slip" on the vaseline and be unable to lay their eggs, or that the eggs wouldn't stay put...
This "treatment" always happened pre-bedtime, as night-time was when the worms would come out to play.
And yes, one can see the worms with the naked eye.
Eww.

Ah, the good 'ol days when I'd get my ass probed for free. Now I have to pay for that kind of medical treatment (at least now when it's done I know the doc has 8 years of schooling to guide the finger to the right place). And yes, garlic with grooves cut into them burn and make for a bad night's sleep.

The assembly line technique of finger thrusting with vasoline sodomised and devirginised us.
Then there was waking up to the feeling of melted vasoline all squidgy and seeping everywhere.....

A warm light bulb can draw them out. And yes, you can see them if you try hard enough. They are very small.
How effective is the treatment? Well, that is another matter. After all, an effective treatment would have left you worm free, and consequently, Creepy-uncles-vaseline-covered-finger free.

Yeah it was always garlic suppositories for me to. Never had the luxury of vaseline. I would only have been about 6 or 7, but I vaguely remember it rather stinging and hating having it done. Honestly though, I don't actually think there was anything "sexual" about it (at least in my case), just a bunch of stupid hippies using their "natural remedies". Bloody wankers!! Funny how I can't remember the adults ever lined up getting garlic stuffed up their asses.(reply to this comment) |

Totally,
I remember them going in with flashlights at ungodly hours of the night. They would pull your butt cheeks apart and go in manually. When I first moved to the states I was 17 I saw my cousin sitting on the ground with shorts on and I warned him that he might "get worms doing that". My uncle looked at me like I had lost my mind, I told him that we were always taught you would get worms from sitting on the ground or putting fingers in your mouth. He still thinks that is the craziest shit he has ever heard and I still get teased to this day.

I remember the same thing very clearly. They would come in the middle of the night with flashlights to probe our A-holes for worms...or was that just an excuse sometimes so that they could get a sick sexual kick out of it, who knows? The unlucky ones would wake up when they did it. I still remember several flashlights at once coming in the room. You couldn`t see who it was behind them. You can almost imagine the X-FILES music in the background when you think back at it. It was all pretty strange. I remember being scared.(reply to this comment) |

Damn!! I remember this happening to me when I was eight. Several times actually. Always at bed time, and usually using a flashlight they would "check" for worms. Can you even see worms with the naked eye? Anyway, I missed the vasilen 'cure'. Though the flashlight fingering was sufficient punishment I think. Never thought anything of it.... It never ceases to amaze me how something that seemed "normal" at one time could end of being so weird. Shudder..

I remember this kind of thing happening, kids would get worms all the time, I think children raised in normal society get worms a lot too, but they deal with it through pills and medicine...we however didn't get to grow up like that, so the Uncles and mostly aunties would stuff garlic cloves up our butts to try to get them out. The whole thing about checking children at night is that...GROSS OUT TIME....At night the worms sense your body stops moving and go out of the host's a-hole to lay their eggs on clothing. These eggs are resistant to water and will remain on clothes till they hatch, when they do hatch they try to find a host to crawl into...Gross Yuk Gag. Well the whole idea of searching with flashlights at night was to tell who had the worms! That child's sheets and underwear would then by sent to a gas dryer, in osaka school they had them and they would clean these seperately to kill any eggs. All this BS just cuz the adults didn't have money or the belief that worm medicine actually worked! BS, I consider this the real abuse; having the means to cope with a problem and not doing anything about it! I don't think anybody really got a sexual kick off of checking kids a-holes they were just trying to do their best in their stupid hippy ways. (reply to this comment) |
