I went on a week long freak out when I realized I had worms. I couldnt even work for a week. It's a horrible realization. I still feel like a leper. It's as close to a nervous breakdown as I ever came. In time you do learn that these are part of life. You are not the only one and everyone has parasites of some kind even if they are symptom free. It's gross but I just started to think about them like any other illness. Technically bacteria and virus is parasitic.
