my mom took me to the doctors already and they took a sample. they said that there wasnt anything in there.i know what i see everyday when i go poop. THEY ARE THERE. my mom said that we could go get it checked out again,but we never did.i dont have a dog so that cant be the problem.

Here is a link with good identification and symptoms of human parasites.. Read it thoroughly.. Lab diagnosis only detects worms 20% of the time. You need to take a sample of your own stool, when you see these worms. Take it in to the Doctor for an analysis. He can prescribe the proper medication to alleviate your problem. All it requires is a good dose of the right medicine.. good luck... Here is the link..

They sound like pinworms, and are very common in humans and many other animals. The most common symptom they cause is itchiness around the anus, especially around bedtime.
Sometimes they won't show up in a fecal sample, but if you've seen them, then treat them.
You can sometimes isolate them by putting a bit of sticky tape over your anus overnight. The sticky catches the worms as they try to crawl out. I'm not joking here, this is a standard diagnostic techinique! At the same time it's probably not necessary to sleep with a bit of selotape in your crack if you've already seen them!
Look, just ask your pharmacist for a normal worm treatment containing either pyrantel or mebendazole, and use as directed.
It'd be worth treating any young children in the family, or any pets (especially kittens) in the household at the same time, as you could bet that someone else has them too. Vets recommend regular treatment of all household pets whether you know they've got worms or not.
Treatment is quite safe for this common problem.

The worms you would get from walking around barefoot are hookworms, however these worms only release eggs in the feces. It could actually be a tape worm, like a pork tapeworm. You acquire this parasite from injecting uncooked pork, or pork that is not cooked enough. Tapeworms have segmented bodies, and often these pieces will be shed in the feces, then they escape when you relieve yourself. Speak to a doctor, but try to get a sample of one first, so there is no confusion about the real location of them.
Hope this helps!

You need to bring in a sample of the worms. There is no other way for them to diagnose it if they are not finding any present in a stool sample.
They honestly do not sound like any parasites I know, the only white ones I know of are long and slender. Little white ones sounds like fly maggots.
Another thing you can do is go to a health food store and buy a detox kit- they are supposed to get rid of intestinal parasites as well.

Get to a doctor, take a sample. Yes this is natural but not normal. most probable source without further info is improperly cooked food. Regardless, worms are bad.

sounds a lot like pin worms that children get from playing in the dirt and not washing their hands before putting them in the mouth. A really common ailment.

yes your body collects worms of differnt kinds from the foods you consume, and sometimes when all of a sudden you have to run to the bathroom to go stinky that is because the worm wants out.....what he does not know is you are going to drop him in the tolit and flush him....PS the doctor should have been honest because he learned that in doctor school.....

You really should visit your doctor he will give you some dablets for worms and they should clear up. Don't leave it and hope that it will go away by it self.
