I spray my garden with couple of cigarettes worth of tobacco water once in a while - works great as a natural insecticide!
I also used to live next to a tobacco plantation in Thailand once and the plant itself is quite incredible - basically untouchable by disease or insects so completly hands free and the fields are really cozy.
The smoke will suffocate the toxins of the apple seeds
“two tablespoons of kerosene a day helps the
medicinecigarettes go down.”You CAN??? repeat this treatment in 24-48 hours.
You can have a little kerosene, as a treat
in fact the only treatment you can’t repeat is the water.
And, you know, 4 tablespoons of salt
"Ah yes I see the problem. The cigarettes have to be unlit. We’ll mention it in the next edition. "
Boom!
Oh, the cigars first. Then the kerosene! Got it!
Calling out the cigarettes but ignoring the next line about kerosene.
If you did them the other way, kerosene then cigs, well that would burn the parasite out, sure, but the host… well, it might hurt a little.
You can drop a lit cigarette in kerosene and it will just put the cigarette out. You can also so that with diesel. You cannot, however, do that with gasoline.
You cannot, however, do that with gasoline.
Yes, you can. A match or a lighter will ignite gasoline vapors. A smoldering cigarette will not.
A cigarette won’t usually light gasoline, if you’re quick and it’s cold enough you can plunge a lit match into gas. Diesel is practically difficult to ignite, I mix it with gasoline for a good, safer firestarter with a longer burn
Kerosene is definitely not gasoline. Kerosene is far more volatile.
Kerosene is far less volatile. Gasoline evaporates more easily.
The American way.
That’s for the marines.
Nono, that would be Crayon eating
Mix 1/2 of a yellow crayon with 1/5th of grey in a solution of kerosine to extract the cadmium and lead. Distill with lit cigarette. Consume promptly. Repeat treatment every 8hrs preferably more often.
I wonder how tobacco/nicotine pouches compares. I ingest around 100-mg of nicotine with those daily
I doubt you’re ingesting much of any of it, it’s being absorbed directly into your bloodstream through your gums. Actually eating it would have a totally different effect on intestinal parasites.
Thanks for the tip!
I mean for dealing with worm parasites in the field, given limited supplies and (I’m assuming) this being a pretty old manual, this isn’t too bad.
Basically instructions for forcing out the entire contents of your stomach or using something that is probably handy to kill them before they do too much damage to you.
a handy mushroom called the “death cap” mushroom works particularly well too.
A little too well
Same for 4 tablespoons of salt in a quart of water. This will make you piss out of your asshole your body wants to get rid of it so fast. 30 mins of stomach gurgles, ten minutes of the most liquid to ever come out of your asshole since last you tried to boof a 6 pack, and then you’re good to go.
I don’t think I would even be able to drink that. As soon as it touches my tongue, my throat would clamp shut.
You just conjured up a childhood memory. All I can say is you’re not exaggerating lol.
the boofing part right?
The most liquid to come out of their ass since childhood.
I’ve actually done this once before, as I was briefly having belly issues and honestly couldn’t eliminate the possibility of a parasite.
It made me feel a bit weird for a day or so, but not too bad really. It did slow my cigarette craving for a while too. It didn’t outright evacuate my guts as you might assume, also apparently I didn’t have any intestinal worms thankfully.
I think the way this is meant to work is that if you do have worms, the nicotine is supposed to shock the little demons into unclamping their jaws and basically evicting themselves.
I’d stand by this technique for survivalists in a pinch though.
It also paralyzes your cilia so it’s not improbable (cilia are the little hairs that line your breathey tubes and rhythmically beat to push gunk up and out). It’s actually why the smokers cough usually gets worse a few days after quitting then stays worse until you’re finished hacking up all the built up tar. Your cilia wake up to your respiratory tract fucking trashed like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.
Just curious, is this true for smokeless tobacco too? I mean not the tar bit obviously, just the paralysing.
Honestly the research on exactly why this happens is sparse enough as it is. It’s basically impossible to do truly conclusive studies with tobacco because of how dangerous it is. We can’t even technically conclusively say that tobacco causes cancer because to truly scientifically assert that you’d have to do a randomized controlled trial.
To have a truly randomized controlled trial you would have to randomly select people from the overall sample and tell them to start smoking for the purposes of the study (otherwise you can’t technically rule out there being some third thing that both causes the cancer and causes people to want to smoke). And because we know tobacco is insanely addictive and are all but that one millimeter short of proving that it causes cancer, no medical ethics oversight body would ever allow a study that requires participants to start smoking.
Oh absolutely, I’m glad we’re not doing that. I don’t get why there’s so few statistical studies, like ‘people who have been using (e.g.) chewing tobacco have x health stat compared to y in the general population’. It’s frustrating, especially with how many young people are using snus and vapes in recent years. It’s tough to make informed health decisions when the information is hard to come by.
Isn’t there enough nicotine in a cigarette to kill a non-smoker if eaten?
No, the factoid is that there’s enough nicotine in a single cigarette to kill you, if all of that nicotine got past your blood-brain barrier at once. Since that’s more or less an impossibility, don’t worry about eating one.
No. But it will make you rather queasy.
I found it eased my belly to consume the cigarette followed by a couple glasses of V8 juice.
This is all I could think of…
Ah, the wonders of genetic engineering! Tomacco…
Now if only they would take theory into practice, but take THC and the other fun ingredients from weed and put the happy buzz chemicals into apples…
That would surely put a whole new twist on the idea of giving the teacher an apple…
Wtf. Why has this not happened yet?
I’d rather eat the cigarette than drink the V8.
Fine, more V8 for me haha! I actually like the stuff.
The mexicans and canadians put clam sweat into it and call it clamato and I just think it’s all the more reason to build two walls.
Not even remotely close to it. Cigarettes have 10-12mg of nicotine and the LD50 for ingestion is around 6-13mg/kg.
And that’s assuming that the nicotine in tobacco is as bioavailable as pure nicotine.
I weigh 1 kg though
If your chance of dying is 1% that’s still pretty bad.
But your chance isn’t even 1%.
I think if you made a tea to concentrate the nicotine it’d do it. That’s how I’ve heard it used as a poison.
Nah, not really. Sure it might make a non-smoker feel worse while it goes through them, one eaten cigarette isn’t gonna kill an adult.
Now if it was the amount of nicotine out of an entire 20 pack, or someone being stupid enough to suck/chew on a daily nicotine patch, well that would be a different story… 💀
If one does happen to have intestinal worms, well I think eating a cigarette is by far the lesser of the two discomforting evils…
Wikipedia says the lethal dose is estimated to be 6.5 to 13 mg / kg of body weight. Following that, a cig couldn’t possibly kill you. Probably not even when injected into a vein
I’m pretty sure you would die if I injected a cigarette into your vein.
The kerosene one works.
Yeah, because it kills you. Kerosene and similar low-viscosity hydrocarbons in your stomach migrate to the lungs, causing them to collapse. Not a nice way to go.
They only found out after some kids mysteriously died upon ingesting minute amounts of lamp oil.One of the ways worm infestations can kill, especially kids, is when it gets so bad they start travelling up the esophagus and can block the upper air ways. In these extreme cases, in the absence of another medication at hand, a spoonful of kerosene can save a life.
My grandma saved a neighbor’s 6 year old kid doing just that. The girl was later taken to the hospital and made a full recovery, but would have asphyxiated otherwise.
I mean, nicotine is a natural pesticide made by tobacco plants. It’s kinda the same with capsaicin and humans love that shit. Plus inducing vomiting could potentially get those lil’ critters outta there. In a life or death situation this would probably be preferable to dying, at least.
Realistically this is probably an older manual and shouldn’t be followed to the letter. You should not be eating less than 2 cigarettes a day.
No, seriously, don’t eat cigarettes.
Btw for the capsaicin thing. It’s one of the going theories for why warmer places all around earth tend to traditionally eat much spicier foods than colder places. Food spoils faster in the heat, and the spice both masks the spoilt taste and can help, or is thought to help, cleanse you of parasites.
(I know spicy plants don’t grow in colder places, too, but the tendency holds for colder regions that would have had access to hot plants)
Not rather keep the food longer edible by killing bacteria & fungus?
Vomiting won’t get them out. If when you vomit you’re bringing up matter from where they live then you’ve got much bigger problems than just a worms infection.
This is field survival manual, meant as a last resort for situations when you’re miles from civilization and neither a pharmacy nor a medic are available.
Of course there are better options out there.
Yeah but I just wanna eat cigarettes. They make my mouth all tingly.
In that case, I would suggest picking up some chewing tobacco or maybe some snus.
Oh, and don’t swallow.
Tom Mullica has entered the chat…
Capsasian tickles on the other end when it is done.
Little bonus.
Did you know your anus has taste receptors?
You’re welcome.
It can’t discern flavors, just tingles a bit.
I just skip that whole part and boof my capcaisin.
Eating a cigarette isn’t going to outright kill you, some worm having a happy meal in your stomach might, or at least incapacitate you enough to get killed by something - or someone.
There’s lots of things in life that you shouldn’t do, but can help you in an emergency. There’s chlorine tablets - not exactly healthy, but can help with gut bacteria in a pinch. Cauterizing a wound is fucking painful and is not recommended by modern physicians - but it beats bleeding out or dying to an infection.
Keep in mind that those are not “DIY at home” kind of tips, but "You got shot in the middle of nowhere and you’r close to dying. You will also find similar tips in most other army handbooks.
Man, you would bring up cauterizing a wound…
Many years ago we had a terrier dog that got shot by a neighbor in her right hip. Thankfully it only went under the skin and came back out like 3 inches away, so no serious internal damages, but the dog’s wounds kept bleeding and bleeding…
Dad couldn’t afford a vet, but I wasn’t gonna just let the dog bleed out either. I got out my soldering iron and cauterized the wounds myself until she quit bleeding. Yeah the dog didn’t like it much, nor did she like me very much afterwards, but I successfully stopped the bleeding and she ended up fully healing up with no problems.
Did she ever come back around on you? If only we could explain things to them haha
She was already a bit of a mean ass bitch even before that happened, probably half of why one of the neighbors shot her in the first place.
She did chill out a bit after all that though, but she never particularly liked me after that either.
Pretty sure a lot of solder is lead based, for anyone needing to replicate this make sure you thoroughly clean the soldering iron.
Yes I did do my best to clean the tip first.
Choose your battles in life, either leak out or take your chances…
Our dog Rosie totally survived, no complications, aside from her not exactly liking me much after that…
idk if you meant that but electrocauterization is still a thing that’s done routinely by modern physicians (and still fucking hurts). you can’t close up all blood vessels easily with other methods.
Never heard of that tbh, I would expect that they just seal the wound with plaster or something lmao. I won’t doubt it tho, medicine is wild.
Electrocautery pens are still used when you get a growth/mole removed. I’ve had it done
You seem to misunderstand the American healthcare system. Always act as if you’re close to dying, because the insurance companies will kill you with debt.
Nah, you can die in the ER waiting room like my old friend Ryan P.
He literally died in the waiting room in the hospital, he died from a dental abscess that bursted into his bloodstream and went to his brain.
Dude died at age 27, and he wasn’t even part of the 27 club, he was seeking treatment! 😭
Yup, my ex demanded I get treatment for an abscess two years ago, and this year when I was concerned about it, my dentist (who I went to with an emergency) told me it would have developed into an abscess. Instead it was two root canals.
Beats drinking kerosene for sure
Just a weird alcoholic mix with a denaturant (against alcoholics getting even more liver damage).
Drink kerosene, smoke cigarette, breath fire.
Charizard origin story.
2 TABLEspoons! Every 24 hours!
It’s also handy if you eat apple seeds
Apple seeds are fine unless you’re eating hundreds. Then you have a different kind of problem.
Don’t you judge my apple seed eating addiction, I can stop whenever I want.
Your mom is clearly dumb.
Scary italics.
