Got Worms? Get FUG a Worm.
Every few months it’s a good idea to do some preventative maintenance on the old colon. Or wherever these worms live.
If you eat Som Tam bla-rah (fermented paste) – with crab (bpoo) or fish (bpla) you likely have a small infestation of worms living inside you. It’s natural.
Find a pharmacy every few months and chew up one of these tablets just in case. I do it religiously just to make me stop thinking about worms crawling around inside me.
One pill is just 35 baht. It’s named FUG a Car. “Fug a Worm” would be funnier.
