Have I got worms?

[beamer]

I was by the sea at the weekend and purchased a bucket of local raw oysters. After we wolfed down a few we realised there was a short thin worm at the bottom of the bucket which was very obviously still alive and squirming around.
This was on Saturday and I've since had no ill effects, however every time I think of that worm I feel queasy and can't help but wonder if I have ingested some sort of parasitic such and such which is growing in my intestines.
I this possible?
And if so, how could I tell?
Any advice would be much appreciated as I'm pretty ignorant about these matters.

You're worrying about that after eating raw oysters!!! Anyway think of it as a "Bush Tucker Trial". I should think you'll be fine ....I would have thought it would be through your system now .

Pure nutrition.

Probably not, as worms usually come from the worm eggs contained within the food eaten. Examine your t*rds for a week or so for anything untoward. And if you find an unwelcome visitor just buy some Ovex from Boots.

I thought I read somewhere recently that we all have worms resident in our intestinal system to a greater or lesser extent anyway...

Oh, this makes me laugh. A lot. :-)

Well three days have passed and i'm still alive.

May go for a periodic poo inspection just in case.

Well in that case what you have to do is catch it in something like a big tea strainer, and then use a shower spray or something similar to wash it away until is has all gone through the strainer, if there are worms they will be left in the strainer.

then go have a nice cup of tea !!!

[Quizmonkey]

Err...no, qapmoc - no need for the strainer stuff (unless your pulling his leg!) - worms will not be embedded, but very clearly visible and alive on the surface of the t*rd.
