[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mouth thing cannot be true.  Can a medical professional weigh in please and hopefully debunk.  I would have PTSD for sure.[/quote]

This is very real. My grandmother had a worm crawl out of her mouth and get stuck between her teeth, We pulled it out because it was pretty skinny and we thought it was a thread., No it was round worm.  She did not even take any meds. She was that infested. This was a rural area in India.

Key points about roundworm infection in children

Roundworm infection is a type of parasitic illness. It’s caused by the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides.

Roundworm eggs live in the soil and in contaminated feces. The eggs can get into the body through the mouth. The infection can then spread from person to person via infected feces.

[b]Symptoms may include worms in a bowel movement or coming from the nose or mouth, vomiting, and stomach pain.[/b]

In most cases, roundworms can be easily treated by taking a medicine that kills the worms in about 3 days.

After treatment, infection can happen again. This is common in areas where roundworm infection is widespread. Take steps to prevent a repeat roundworm infection.[/quote]
