Hi FEWA

You're doing just great. Feel proud of yourself. You're lucky you're doing this all by yourself and getting results. It never happened to me on my own. I rarely passed anything that I could visibly say was a worm when parasite cleansing on my own. (THAT'S ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE). But there was one occasion where I remember clearly passing a long, roundish worm. It was very long, quite similar to what your pictures look like, except my worm was brown in colour, which I presumed to have been stained by stool. I'm just not sure of the type, I just know it was a worm.

I'm not good at gauging what the species of worms are from pictures. I thought I could differentiate between tapeworm and roundworms. I did think your worm(s) looked quite flat and did think tapeworm first but, like you, I didn't see segments so I thought more of a roundworm.

All I know is that sometimes worms don't always exit what you would expect them to look like. Sometimes they break up in transit.

But from what I'm viewing of your pictures I'd say you've definately passed worms.

Well done FEWA.

Addition: It's not surprising I didn't see much when I was parasite cleansing on my own previously. A lot of what Apxr found in my samples were deeply hidden in fecal matter and were very difficult to see. Apxr found MANY organisms and not just in my stool either.
