The interesting part and the reason I always remember the story is that when the doctors washed her guts, they found a dead tapeworm. The bleach killed it. And the hospital staff gave it back to her in a jar haha. What a souvenir.
Uhhhh, doesn't the digestive system break down and slough off in tapeworm like pieces? I remember the BtB episode on those crazy Church of Bleach fuckers, and that was one of the symptoms the children had after their parents forced them to drink small amounts of bleach over a time. Here's an ABC article that comments that they claim it kills parasites, so I'm not convinced it was an actual tapeworm...
