Robutto versus Gigi Sabani: what a titanic clash!

The semicupio is a type of bathtub, short and equipped with an internal seat, that allows for partial immersion while sitting. Today it has fallen into almost total disuse, but it retains a niche market in the form of tubs for the elderly. The term semicupio is also used to refer to the bath taken in such a tub. It is often used for beneficial soaks with essential oils to treat cystitis, vaginal or urethral infections, and water retention.

Hallucinatory parasitosis, also known as microzoopsia or Ekbom syndrome, is a hallucinatory state in which the patient feels that their body is being attacked by insects or other parasites. It is generally a tactile hallucination. This hallucination is relatively common in cases of recreational drug abuse, particularly cocaine and methamphetamine, or as a side effect of certain psychotropic medications.
Often, the person affected by this syndrome strikes and scratches themselves to alleviate the itching and the "insects," causing skin irritations, friction blisters, welts, and bleeding wounds. These lesions are then sometimes exhibited as "proof" of the disease's actual presence. Hair and skin pulled from the friction may be embedded in the wounds and mistaken for insects (the follicle with the sebaceous gland can resemble a worm), similar to what can happen with clothing fibers, which may also have detached due to friction. The frayed parts of fibers can appear as "legs" or "antennae," reinforcing the hallucination about the insects.
Hallucinatory parasitosis is the most common interpretation of the so-called Morgellons disease, a condition of dubious actual existence. It is often associated with Wittmaack-Ekbom syndrome (or Restless Legs Syndrome).

As we walked along the inhabited cement bay, I was calm on the outside, but inside I was thinking: so now who’s in charge is Georgie. He decides what to do, what not to do, and Dim is his silly snarling bulldog. And suddenly I realized that thinking is for fools, while the clever ones rely on inspiration and what the good Bog sends them. Music came to my aid. There was an open window with a stereo, and I immediately knew what to do.

Jack: Mr. Grady, have we met before?
Grady: No, Sir, I don't think so.
Jack: Um, Mr. Grady... weren't you the caretaker of this hotel?
Grady: No, Sir, I really don't believe so.
Jack: You're married, aren't you, Mr. Grady?
Grady: Of course, Sir, I have a wife and two daughters, Sir.
Jack: And... where are they now?
Grady: Oh, somewhere, at the moment I wouldn't know, Sir.
Jack: Mr. Grady? You were the caretaker here... I recognized you, I saw your photograph in the newspapers, you... dismembered your wife and daughters... into tiny pieces, and then you shot yourself in the head.
Grady: That's strange, Sir... very strange, it's something I don't remember at all.
Jack: Mr. Grady... I know you're the caretaker of the hotel...
Grady: I'm sorry to contradict you, but you are the caretaker of the hotel, you've always been the caretaker, I know it because I've been here forever…

Yeah, but you could have left the surprise of the bell anyway, you got the idea across, thanks.

E. vermicularis is a white worm measuring 4-6 mm in length that can infest humans following the ingestion of its embryonated eggs. The eggs reach the small intestine within a few hours, where they hatch, releasing larvae that migrate to the large intestine and then adhere to the intestinal mucosa, developing into adult worms within a few weeks. A significant number of adult worms localize in the cecum, but pregnant females move at night to the perianal area where they deposit eggs that can be found in the perianal folds, while the worm is easily detected in the feces, and more rarely in the vagina if it has been infected. The gravid female lays up to 20,000 eggs that adhere to the perianal folds. E. vermicularis eggs may contain the protozoan Dientamoeba fragilis.
Infestation by E. vermicularis can be asymptomatic, making affected individuals carriers, but it often causes enterobiasis, characterized by intense itching during the night around the perianal area in males and around the anus and vulva in females. The itching is caused by the migration and egg-laying of the gravid female worms. If the vagina is affected by enterobiasis, genitourinary disturbances may occur. In cases of severe infestation, E. vermicularis can cause inflammation of the intestinal mucosa and colon irritability.

Coprophagous insects ingest and digest the feces of large animals; these contain substantial amounts of semi-digested food (the herbivorous digestive system is particularly inefficient). The most well-known feces-eating insect is the dung beetle, while the most widespread is the fly.
Pigs also exhibit the behavior of eating their own excrement or that of other animals. In South Korea, especially in Jeju-do, black pigs are often fed human waste, and their meat (usually served in traditional specialized restaurants) is highly prized.
Young elephants, pandas, koalas, and hippos consume their mother's feces to obtain the necessary bacteria for digesting the vegetation found in the savanna and jungle. At birth, their intestines are indeed sterile. Without these bacteria, they would be unable to derive any nutrients from plants.
The feces of hippos nourish river fish, which then constitute the main food resource for local populations. For this reason, the ruthless hunting of hippos has had a severely negative impact on fish fauna and on the life expectancy of human communities that rely on river fishing.
Gorillas eat their own feces and those of other individuals. Many ethologists attribute this behavior to the necessity of reabsorbing nutrients left undigested in the passage of vegetation through the intestine. Therefore, coprophagy has been rebranded as "second digestion." This hypothesis is contested, as if a digestive system leaves useful undigested material among the feces, it will all the more be unable to assimilate waste during the second passage. It is therefore possible that such behaviors stem from paraphilias similar to those in humans.
Hamsters eat their own feces; it is thought that this is a source of vitamin B and K, produced by bacteria in the intestine.
Some monkeys have been seen eating horse and elephant feces to obtain salt.
Coprophagy has also been observed in the naked mole rat.
Coprophagic behavior is common in dogs, whose metabolism often leads to deficiencies in minerals that need to be quickly replenished. That is why dogs ingest their own or others' feces. Horse manure is also particularly appealing to dogs.
