SC - organ meats and anthelmintics??

[Joan Nicholson]

Greetings unto Stefan and other good Gentles,

I haven't tried this particular soup, but living "next door" in New Mexico,
I've had Menudo several times and have the same problem.  Also personally,
I think it would have to have been a very desperate person to have eaten
tripe, given the lack of internal parasite control.  Roundworms, tapeworm
and several other species are VERY obvious in a slaughtered animal when the
intestines are opened or cleaned.  I can't see anyone willingly using the
host organs as a food source...eeewwwww! 8^)

Was there a period formula for de-worming stock??  I know tobacco can be
used for roundworms, but what was used before it became available?
