Heidi Klum threw fans for a loop when she shared over the summer that she'd be doing a worm cleanse.
A worm and parasite cleanse, to be more specific.
She told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Aug. 4 that she and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, were planning the cleanse as a sort of reset to their bodies and health.
"I'm going to deworm and de-parasite for the first time," she told the outlet at the time. "Everything I'm getting on my Instagram feed at the moment is about worms and parasites. So I'm doing a worm cleanse and parasite cleanse with my husband. I heard that you're supposed to do this once a year, and I've never done it. So I feel like I'm really behind. I don't know what the heck is going to come out."

Fast-forward a few months, and Klum's results are in.
She tells PEOPLE ahead of her annual Halloween party that she did, in fact, do the cleanse with her husband, but she jokes they didn't "inspect anything" as far as what might have come out.
"So many people asked me, too, like 'What happened?' I'm like, 'I don't even know if anything happened!'" Klum, 52, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It just felt good ... just if there are any [worms or parasites], then I hope that they were leaving the body, because I hear so many people talk about this all the time."
Klum dishes that Kaulitz was by her side for the whole thing, which made the cleanse a bit more tolerable.
"It's easier to do this with a partner in the morning because you have to drink this weird stuff," she explains. "It's all herbal, but nonetheless it's yucky and you have to do this routine of doing it every day in order to kill it in all of the eggs, apparently. You have to do two rounds instead of two weeks. We did two rounds in order to hopefully kill eggs and things. But yeah, we felt great afterwards."
Klum, who spoke to PEOPLE while opening up about her new campaign with L'Oréal Paris, originally told the Wall Street Journal that she didn't necessarily have any evidence of worms or parasites, but she was game to try the cleanse anyway.
"If you are someone who eats raw things every now and then, like, for example, sushi. There are pills [to get rid of them]," she explained. "They have all of these herbs. There's a lot of clove in there. The parasite hates clove. They also hate the seeds from a papaya. We have all this metal inside of us, and it's also very important that you use this de-metaling stuff."

While parasitic infections are real and can cause serious health problems, they can only be diagnosed by a doctor following proper testing.
There is currently no medical evidence to support that herbal supplements or other ingredients work in getting rid of a parasitic infection. Experts also stress that not all gastrointestinal issues are related to parasites.
"I really hope these cleanses don't become popular," registered dietitian Beth Czerwony told the Cleveland Clinic. "There's just no credible evidence to show that they work, and they can bring big health risks."
