    They’ve been doing this for a while now. I remember reading stories about moms in Facebook groups sharing photos of “parasites” they thought they were removing from their children by forcing them to drink bleach…

    Pretty sure it was actually the lining of their esophagus/something similarly bad that should be inside not outside the body.
