The article doesn't say if it worked. Says it caused stomach pain and parasite infection, but no mention of back pain.

Your brain is too busy worrying about the pain in your guts to worry about the pain in your back

Let the parasites cook, maybe they can fix it

Those poor frogs..

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 17 points 23 hours ago

No mention of helping her back pain, but it caused a lot of pain to 8 frogs though.

[–] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 16 points 23 hours ago

Damn, poor frogs.

I hope she croaks 😏

I mean

...

Did it work? 🐸

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I was going to ask the same thing, but her being hospitalised because of it probably answers that.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

But how does her back feel? 🐸

[–] Deebster 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Is she related to the old lady who swallowed a fly?

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

She swallowed the frogs to catch the fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

In fairness to her, she swallowed a spider to catch the fly. That should solve it.

Eight? One or two wasn't enough?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 19 hours ago

Dose matters, that's just pharmacology.

Sure, leave us hanging, Oddity Central.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 6 points 23 hours ago

Damned oppotunistic omnivores.

I'm kind of curious about the moon logic behind it, but I've spoken to enough people in the subway to know that there may be none.

This website sure doesn't like to list its sources
