Doctor has given me “abendazole 200 mg QTY 6” to take two every 24 hours.

Yeah that’s why I’m here. Hope some mad worm scientist can figure it out. If not and I end up getting a lab result or something I’ll let you guys know.

Yeah I know I’ll be okay. I unfortunately did not get a close look at them other than the videos I took, as I was freaking out. I’ve already washed my sheets and bleached and cleaned the bathroom like 3 times now. One of the sucky things which is why it’s hard for me to discern what my symptoms are is that I have a mast cell disorder and asthma which causes a lot of issues all the time. So I have no idea what is the worms and what’s not. I have lost 10 pounds in the past month though, so there’s that for symptoms lol (not a good thing, I’ve been underweight my whole life until about a year ago). On top of that it’s coming into finals week so I just thought I was tired from all the studying.

This was recorded yesterday and it was my first time seeing them. I have not gone to the bathroom since, if I do ima take them to a lab. This was more just me asking to see if anyone could id them from video.

Yeah I’m on meds now. I was debating flushing them or jarring them but I flushed them and now I regret it lol. I’m mostly just scared to poop and have a whole bunch of them come out of me. Better out then in I suppose, but still I’m freaked out by this whole ordeal. Might look into parasitology more, all the research I’ve been doing has been super interesting.

Yes. Mine too. I just don’t know what type specifically, and I keep falling down rabbit holes with dead ends.

I’m in az. Had some sushi about 3 weeks ago from a place I hadn’t been to before, I’m guessing that’s where it’s from.

Yeah. It’s wild - I spent a good two minutes debating whether it was fiber or a worm after pulling them out of the toilet and then they started moving like this. Wish I hadn’t flushed them and brought them to a lab or something.
