Anybody know what these noodle looking things are, are they stages of ropeworm or could they be something else? I've been really sick lately it just seems that every time I get loads out I feel better for a day but then it just all returns the next day. I have got tons of ropeworms out and a day before these noodle things came out I had lots of sacs of mucous as if it was protecting them. For some reason I can't seem to add the photos but they are in the Image Gallery .
