There’s a worm in my toilet

[freemefromacne]

It’s an earthworm, right? RIGHT?! It just looks a bit too skinny. I’ve been worming the cat this week and would rather not have to worm me and DH too..!

Is this the fella?

Looks like an earth worm to me. But..... How?

Pretty sure that's a tapeworm! Sorry!

Is it possible that your cat found the worm outside and dropped it down your loo?

Wasn’t there a thread on this before?
It means your sewage pipe is cracked somewhere?

That's not a tape worm! There was a thread about this a while ago but the worm in the toilet was massive and had stripes! Pretty sure the OP said they and been getting work done on their pipes or the neighbours had.

I have no answers but I would be FREAKING

That’s not a tapeworm.

OP, have you been on holiday recently? Definitely not going to tell you why I'm asking

We have recently had a bedroom turned into a bathroom elsewhere in the house which would have meant the pipes have been worked on, is that what it is then?! I hope so. Definitely not the cat bringing it in, he’s far too busy beheading rabbits

how yes, not all that long ago either & one a couple of years back too.

Rumble haven’t been on holiday for years, phew!

Phew! My Dad went to India and ... let's just say my Mum nearly moved out when the consequences of an ill-advised meat curry became clear. This reminded me of that.

Am I the only person who can't read the thread title without singing it to the tune of "There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza"

It's an earthworm. Definitely not a tapeworm.

Has it got a ‘saddle’? - a bit about a third of the way down that looks flatter, like it’s wearing a belt?
I work in Microbiology, we sometimes get worms in that people think they’ve pooed out because they find them in the toilet, they’re usually earthworms and if they’re still alive I tend to take them outside and release them into the grass verge around the lab.
If you’ve had pipework done recently it’s almost certainly an earthworm.
Tapeworms don’t look anything like that and are usually expelled in fragments, not as whole worms.

I've got 'There's a worm at the bottom of my garden toilet, and his name is Wiggly Woo....."

I have 'There's a rat in me kitchen'.

That's three different songs already! The worm is a muse.

Worms wearing saddles .

I had a worm in the toilet. It was due to a crack in the external bit of the soil pipe. Worry ye not OP. But perhaps get the soil pipe fixed?

That's three different songs already! The worm is a muse.

Mine changed as I peeled spuds for dinner. Now I have "There was an old woman who swallowed a fly" etc etc.

So that's four. The worm is getting a good repertoire.

Banana that one was in my head too

Phew. Sounds like an earthworm. He was wriggling a lot, I didn’t get a good enough look for a saddle. I’m afraid he has now been flushed.

Pretty sure that’s a tapeworm! Sorry! I do hope you don’t have a job where identifying intestinal parasites vs common garden worms is a major part of it!

That’s an earthworm of some description. Not sure which one as there’s millions of different types but I imagine it would be eternally grateful if you’d pop it back into the garden (if its still alive that is!).

I don't think it's a tapeworm because it's too short. Apparently,they can be up to 25 metres (80 feet) long! (not envy)

My butt cheeks are clenching at the sight of that 😂🤦‍♀️
