I glad there are people willing to participate because I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing there's worms in me. Never mind the itching.

there is a not so low prob you have worms. even without itching

...what should I do?

I remember pooping a really long worm some years ago, and taking a anti-worm medicine...

Did it look flat? If so you had tapeworm. Look it up on google

be hygenic. regurarily inspect your poop. though this is not a guarantee.

you can make a test at your gp

If gp lives in a developed country and hasn’t traveled anywhere that hookworms are prevalent, then no - the probability they have hookworms is very low.

Hookworms, maybe, but pinworms are insanely common. Yes, even in the developed world. Especially if you have kids...

I'm afraid you are likely loaded with worms, even without your participation in this experiment.

Don't do this to me.
