Came back from vacation and opened the lid to the toilet. OMG. Hundreds of worms. Most disgusting thing you've ever seen. Never flushed so fast in my life.

This happened to me in Arlington last summer. My kids still talk about it.

OK, so maybe this is the at-home test for worms. Abandon your toilet for a few days and take a peek later.

If you had a colonoscopy, would the doctor be able to tell if you had worms?

If you drink a crap ton of alcohol, will that kill the worms?

Not necessarily, and no.

But a microscopic stool O&P (ova and parasite) screen would.

I have 2 elementary aged kids and at least twice a school year we get a letter from the school nurse about a case or outbreak in the school.
And this is an elementary of million dollar+ homes. (just to illustrate that pin worms are found endemic in ANY population).

I used to teach kindergarten. Most kids were from high income families, but most of them didn't know how to wash their hands properly.

Sad how most parents seem too busy to instill basic hygiene habits.

Oh wow! Feel better now?

Kids play in the dirt all the time and it takes one second for them to stick their hands in their mouth. IT doesn't always mean that parents aren't parenting or being hygenic.

Ever since I read this damn thread, my ass has felt itchy. Im terrified, but I’m doing the tape test tomorrow!

If you have worms, will you see them moving in the toilet? I’m super paranoid every time I see something stringy now. Those who know, please share!

Turns out I was completely infested with parasites. Found pinworm in my son, and administered PinX. Instructions are to treat the entire family.

This morning, after taking it last night, I expelled all manner of dead worms. I looked down, and literally (and I mean it) almost passed slam out. Made my husband look, who told me to go straight back to the doctor.

Have an appointment at 3 pm. Anyone else have this experience? (FYI, I worked in villages in Africa without clean food, sanitation, but that was 9 years ago!!)

For everyone gasping, they sell medication for pinworms at CVS. If your child plays in the yard a lot, it could happen to you.

I’m amazed that this seems shocking. I mean, kids put their hands in their mouths.

I have four kids, one who got the worms when he was 2.

Worms happen.

If worms then you won't be the only one in your household itching.
