Wait. If you like sweets it means you have worms?
No. It's means the 4Chan user is wrong about lots of things. They ate poison on a pop tart to get rid of worms and then panic ate charcoal. Why would they be right about something when literally everything else they do is the worst possible idea?
Eating charcoal is a decent idea if you've poisoned yourself.
Not as good as going to hospital or just not poisoning yourself in the first place, but it was the first reasonable thing in the post.
Activated charcoal is a decent idea within a few hours. Days after you’ve ingested fucking turpentine, you’ve long since passed the point of no return. From what I recall, charcoal prevents additional absorption, it doesn’t leech out poison like some sort of magic second liver.
Though that was assuredly their joke. Just one infuriatingly insane statement after another.
I assume he ate briquettes out of a barbecue when he mentioned eating charcoal
Same. OP never said activated charcoal. I'd bet money he bit a chunk of Kingsford.
said "charcoal tablets".
I doubt bbq charcoal comes in tablet form
It kinda does and OP eats turpentine on breakfast junk so I'm not ruling out them munching on bbq fuel.
I mean, what would you suggest putting turpentine on to eat, if not breakfast junk? Would a banana or apple be better?
Hookah charcoal comes in tablets. 🤷♂️
Charcoal on day 3. Even IF it would have worked, it was far too late for charcoal at that point.
It’s some weird pseudoscience nonsense recently that a craving for sweets or carbs is because you have intestinal parasites.
Most Americans are so addicted to their synthetic corn sugar that they think "no sugar rush" = "hungry"
yes. that's where gummy worms come from
Ohh, I see.
I think they mean if you have a high appetite
It could also be that you have eaten sweets recently, and so you have a craving for sweets.
Sometimes you control the Candida, but sometimes it controls you.
