No, most people try to get rid of parasites rather than intentionally consuming them, for the obvious reason that they cause severe malnutrition over a period of time and are extremely disgusting - especially trying to get them out of your intestinal tract. The only people I could see who would genuinely be interested in this would be people with severe anorexia.
