Worm in the Toilet. Is it from me??

[Katrolina]

It's not a worm I've seen before. I took a picture if that could help anyone. I looked at the parasitic worms that live in humans, i couldnt find it anywhere, it looks like a little rattlesnake (the end of it) with balls as a body....kind of like pearls, but different color and it has this weird mouth like a...hook? its so hard to explain it. i have a picture, and i'm completely freaked out it came out of me. It is dead.

Floss-like ones tend to be the ones that live in the lower part of the gut and make you itch. You will not normally 'feel' that you have tapeworms - buggers are too smart for that.

someone I knew who worked for an offshoot of the CIA was in China when he was a student. His weight started to plummet some 5 pounds a week.

The local quack told him they couldn't do anything - the deworming season was November. This was July.....

He decided to get out and got to Hong Kong. The Matilda Hospital discovered a 11 foot juicy worm inside his gut, teeth and all.

Infested water.....

You have to go to a meeting, katrolina? What at 11.46 at night? What sort of meeting will that be then?

[Katrolina]

im replying from my phone because i really need to know what this thing is. ive looked up tapeworm and its not it. and in regards to those little white wiggly ones, yeah ive had them when i was a kid, its not those either. im freaking out. I promise its not a fib. as soon as i get home, which should be in almost 2 hours i will post it. i have photobucket so i think thats the same as tinypic, i just need to get on my computer to do that. so i really appreciate your concerns...And even the curiousity haha, please keep an eye on this post and i should have a pic up in about 2 hours. if not sooner.

Im in michigan, its at 7:30 pm, and its 7:00 right now. it ends at 8:30 and the drive back, so it should be around 1.5-2 hrs from now. If i can stand that long, i might be freaking out. Its an NA meeting.

[starone]

Oops, sorry, missed that. But I don't think I will wait another two hours to see the picture. Bit late for me. Might drop in tomorrow morning to have a look. Just curious, of course (or nosy if you like).

[Katrolina]

[starone]

I could join if it was Nosy Anonymous.

[anneasquith]

facebook.......... no thanks.

[wolf63]

Nutters anonymous for me -

I was actually thinking that you could corner some unsuspecting medical person at the meeting and show them a picture of the worm.

[Jemisa]

Not meaning to be disrespectful Kat, It was just the spelling thing that gave me a clue. The spelling is correct Its just soo worrying for you at the mo.
Perhaps for peace of mind you should take it to your doctors, he'll probably reassure you.
