I attended Air Force Field Training at Lackland last year...
During the encampment phase of training we had a briefing on the effects parasites can have while you're out in the field.
one of the pictures was a person who was having projectile diarhea that was composed entirely of tape-worms. i cannot describe it in any way except picturing someone with a (literallly) gallon of spaghetti drenched in blood coming out of their rectum.
the sergeants who gave the briefing probably stuck that in their deliberately for shock value. there were about 350 of us cadets in the room... i'm guessing 40 stood up and ran to the bathroom immediately afterwards.
