Tapeworm Egg closeup
If you did not notice these in the pile of eggs, I examined the piles under a magnifying glass. Another way is to use your cell phone on the zoom or Macro setting. Here you see two eggs hatching infant tapeworms.
Time was taken to clean each stool sample and closely examine the remaining contents for signs of parasite like this. Notice the color and is consistent with the typical color of most people's stool. Because most consider bowel movements and stool taboo, these little eggs are easily overlooked by merely wiping and flushing. These are about half the size of long grain rice. As seen in the other photos they are typically white with a major infestation. I am not an expert but would say from observation that when they turn brown, they are ready for hatching.
