One of the Kardashian sisters has admitted to researching how to buy tapeworm eggs in her bid to be stick thin.

Khloe Kardashian, 30, said she wanted a tapeworm in her body as she is desperate to be ‘skinny’.

The extreme weightloss measure can be a serious risk to a person’s health, causing jaundice, abnormal pain and malnutrition.

Tapeworms The parasite can grow up to 30ft long inside a person’s intestine and are caught by touching contaminated faeces or by eating undercooked meat.

Khloe made the comment while speaking to her sister Kourtney about her weight, saying: ‘I would do anything to get a tapeworm’.


Their 19-year-old half-sister Kylie Jenner then asked: ‘Why do you want a tapeworm?’.

Responding, Khloe said: ‘Do you know how skinny you get? I googled it to see if I could really have one.’



The conversation, on Keeping Up With The Karashians, certainly provoked a strong reaction on social media:

@khloekardashian I really hope the comment on #KUWTK about wanting a tapeworm was a joke cause that kinda thing is very serious. — Dysfunktion Design (@DysfunkDesign) March 21, 2015

Khloe Kardashian, who has complained in the past about being ‘the ugly sister’, is often updating her Instagram and Twitter accounts with gym pictures cataloging her bid to lose weight.

She’s previously said: ‘Working out is a huge part of my life. I genuinely enjoy swearing out my frustrations, my workouts are about clarity for my mind and soul.’

We suspect after discovering the dangers, Khloe will reconsider.

She certainly would if she watched this (graphic) video:
