Worms?!

Turns out I didn't have worms.
I've been a little bit more careful ever since. I still eat raw shit all the time though.
No symptoms or anything since.
 
Keep an eye out for future worms. Maybe one got out just by luck and there simply isnt not enough for them to come out every time you poop. A poop-shaker stick might not be a bad idea. Kinda gross, but just to make sure...
 
I appreciate the heads up. Pretty sure I'm fine. Looking back there's probably some other way that a worm made its way into the toilet bowl.

It might be fecal plaque. It can be long and stringy and look like a worm or a loogie. Its the stuff that gets stuck inside your digestive track and comes out when you eat a lot of vegetables and fiber.

This is how denial works.

It sounds like you're the proactive type though. Remain vigilant, keep us posted, there aren't nearly enough posts on the website to represent what really is in our gut.

*calling out to anybody who has dealt with parasites, contribute shamelessly, it is a good thing!
 
My sister had em one time. As a real young kid. A few times i believe actually. Eat garlic an try eating tobacco id say too
 
I haven't read all the posts (running out of time gotta head to town) but I wanted to throw out an old remedy for intestinal parasites, which was told to me for dogs, but I think would work for just about anything: eat a pinch of tobacco every other day for a week. You might feel a little sick from it, but it's supposed to get rid of worms (if you aren't able to get some kind of medication, tobacco is always available). I've seen one dog go through the tobaccy treatment for a week and the worms stopped crawling out of his ass, so it seems to work.

And another random helpful tip: no bug spray, rampant mosquitoes? Eat the head of a match. I guess soldier's used to/(still do? maybe someone an confirm) do that in vietnam and other areas where there's masses of mosquitoes. The sulfur from the match head seeps out your pores, and a lot of people have tried to tell me that it must be absolutely terrible for you and that I'm retarded for doing it, but there's two bits of information that contradicts that: 1, I don't think sulfur is more dangerous than the chemicals people spray/rub all over their skin and 2, I've heard of plenty of hot springs with trace amounts of sulfur that are supposedly really good for you, BECAUSE of the sulfur. So anyway. Grain of salt, whatever, I've eaten match heads around SWARMS (this is an understatement) or mosquitoes and only got a couple bites.
 
@Will Dernis. LOL eating sulfur.

Your awesome man. I totally believe it.

You just reminded me of a character from a Terry Pratchett novel that I believe used sulfur in home remedies and put gunpowder in his socks. (Nostalgic cuz Terry Pratchett recently passed away and I posted a thread on that... https://squattheplanet.com/threads/discworld.22672/)

I wonder at the eating tobacco deal. If you smoke your getting nicotine in your blood and you still get parasites? Is it just increasing the concentration of nicotine in your blood that will kill/drive off the worms? Or maybe digesting the tobacco leaves passes em directly by the worms...(in the intestine right) Worth a try though. Though I wonder if you just used chewing tobacco if thats good enough. I've swallowed juice when trying Chew back in the military and that made me feel sick enough. If you don't want to eat it that is... try chew...
Don't know though. Garlic like always sounds like a good idea to me.
 
For all those gigglers. It's not funny!
If you've never had worms then you've never been homeless!
You get worms, probably from eating fish that wasn't cooked enough.You also get them from insects or possibly by ingesting fleas.
Go to the hospital and tell them what happened and you'll soon be on your way home.
I've had em' and there not funny. Imagine a 3/4 wide wide worm hanging out your ass, stuck to your intestines that you can't remove without medical help! Not funny at all!
 
I had pinworms as a kid, doctor said they can get in by ingesting dirt that contains the eggs (I was always out in the fields and swamps - not the cleanliest areas). What was bad about it is that the doctor prescribed the pills for the whole family and advised us that we may have some issues down there as what comes out would not look quite right and may also stain under wear red. HA - my Father was pissed at me and my 3 siblings acted like I had the plague. ::facepalm::
 
I would still highly suggest you cook animal meats, I've even seen parasitic worms in fish sold at stores so if you're getting it from an iffy place...cook up!

Side note - the phone app with my phone is impossible to make a post with >.< about smashed my phone to bits.. waited till I got to pc to finish. Awesome site tho!

Before anyone goes treating themselves with pet medication or any of the other pseudoscience ITT, be aware that you can get parasite medication over the counter, no prescription, for about $12 in any drug store. Works within hours.
 
Yeah you've definitely got worms if there was one in the toilet.

I got worms from my dog who ate raw meat. Don't eat raw meat or fish one worm egg done.

Got medication over the counter from pharmacy under €10 kills all worms. Upsets your stomach for a few hours.

Seriously go take the pill.
