Magical Pills

Had to blog about ‘em. For those who haven’t heard of these things, they’re the magical pills for the prevention of that darn filariasis disease. The city health office people made rounds (and are still probably making rounds) in local barangays to distribute these tiny pills to every household/family. How sweet! Haha!

There have been quite a few circulating rumors about these things. One was about a kid who drank the meds, was purged free of the crawling worm thingies…when unknowingly, while he played around, people saw a tiny worm hanging from his cute little, ugh, butt. Then there’s this another rumor about a teenage boy who got addicted to the drug and asked for more of the pills. Why I’m talkin’ about these hearsays, I don’t know.

Anyhoo-ey, I took the pills a week ago. After a few days, I experienced its famous purgative effect. Nothing bad happened. It’s just…uhmmm…really that. Purgative! Purgative, as in like the after-effect of not having any fiber in your diet. Prffft!

Oh, and I had none of the icky worms. How did I know? I looked at the grossly floating critters of course! Haha.

I love it.
