Iron and Parasites---any correlation?

Is there any correlation between iron supplements and parasite infections?

I've known I have parasites and have done what I thought was a decent job controlling them ( my symptoms are greatly reduced since I originally found them 3 yrs ago). I still have sleep issues, so a doctor (pulmonologist/sleep specialist) recently tested me for anemia. He said it can cause restless leg, which I have. It turns out I am anemic so he prescribed iron pills to take with Vitamin C twice daily. I was already taking Vit C, so the iron was the only new thing added to my routine. I've been on the iron for about a month now. Didn't notice much, except my stool is loose and very black, until today I passed a very long worm. Like over 6 inches long. I didn't notice it until it was being flushed so couldn't investigate further. Could the iron supplementation helped to pass this worm? I haven't seen any in months until today. The only thing I'm doing is 325 mg ferrous sulfate with 2000 mg Vit C twice a day.

Any ideas? Tweet
