Q: Worms in stool ?

I noticed today after a bowel movement, while admiring my work, that I had a few small white worms on my stool. What is this?

I'm 17, and it would be a bit embarassing to go up to my mom and say "Hey ma, I have worms!"

I have read in a survival handbook that eating tobacco kills internal parasites, but I'm not sure chomping down on a black and mild is a very pleasing experience. Is there any other more discreet way to get rid of whatever these things are?

Sorry if this isn't in the right forum.

IMO, you should go see a doctor. Hey that's kind of scary thinking about it. I'm not to sure about eating tocacco. Personally i wouldn't do that. Just schedule an appt with you doctor and see what it really is before you try those home remedies.

Well, its not like they are HUGE or anything. They are small, no longer than .5", and about as thin as lead from a mechanical pencil.

You need to see a doctor. They can lead to serious health problems. There is nothing you can do to treat this yourself.
