According to the Lonely Planet, 50% of people who go in Lake Malawi end up with a parasite that, after a two-month incubation period, attacks your genital region and causes you to pee blood. Knowing this, many in our group have been understandably paranoid. This is a story born of that paranoia.
A friend told me that when she was in the bathroom (squat toilet lit only by her head torch), she saw what looked like a tape worm emerging from her nether regions. A big freak-out ensued. However, gathering the courage born of necessity, she decided to take care of the situation and pull the sucker out. Gritting her teeth and calming her gag reflex, she grabbed on and gave it a yank...
...and her tampon fell out.
Just to clarify, this time it was NOT me. But hilarious just the same.
