Fucking HUGE worm

[legalseagull]

What is post won't adequately display the horror that I felt this morning.

So both my kids had a poo before bed last night. No dramas, I didn't notice anything untoward. This morning I woke up and went to the toilet and there is a giant, alive, wriggling worm. It's brown and skinny and swimming around like a snake.

Aside from burning my house down I don't know what to do about this. We tried to take it out but it broke apart.

Please tell me it's an earthworm come up through the pipes, and it hasn't came out of one of my children's bums!

It definitely wasn't a rat. It was a worm. Alive and swimming. No rat attached to the end thank god. The breaking up has worried me but tapeworms are flat I think?! This was round. Like a skinny normal worm. It's been flushed!

Although a tapeworm might help with my weight loss...

I have no clue but can I just say

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH

I am never going to the loo again.

🤢 feel really unwell.

I’m never looking in my toilet again.

The only pinkish worm is a round worm. It looks smoother than that though. Massive one came out of a kitten we had. Round worms are actually quite dangerous as they can occasionally migrate and lead to blindness. Especially dangerous to pregnant women.

I once stood up from using the loo at night and turned the light on to find the soap (had just zombie walked in the dark and sat down), only to realise there was a fudging massive spider sat INSIDE the rim of the toilet. It must have been there while I peed. It could’ve ran in my vag So I obviously took the sensible course of action, screamed, hit it with a loo brush and flushed the toilet vigorously for 20minutes crying to myself. That learnt it.

This really made me laugh.

Earthworms have a distinctive ‘saddle’ - a raised smoother section. You maybe able to see it in your video.

I came back from holiday once to find a worm like that in the toilet.
I assumed it was because the pipes hadn't been flushed through for a while.

I keep refreshing this fucking thread.

Earthworm saddle🤮

So annoying I can't share a video

The worm will crawl out of the loo at night, and squirm across the floor and take refuge in a sleeping human rectum .
Fact.

Oh fuck off now I'm going to wear three pairs of knickers to bed

I am always worried about rats or snakes coming up through the toilet but always been told by people it's not possible. Now here is a worm that has managed it. Oh god it's sending me off the edge...

I’m stalking my arsehole together now.

Stapling!!

@legalseagull
That will be futile!
These loo worms 🪱 have evolved knicker drilling strategies.

Lumbricus pantdrilleris.

Lumbrucus pantdrilleris.

Intestinal worms tend to be white(ish), so it's more likely to be an earthworm or something, but it depends on the light.

Can you upload the video to Youtube or Vimeo, for example?

It's odd that it disintegrated when someone tried to fish it out.
Moving (i.e. living) organisms don't disintegrate like that.
Did it break into little pieces, or did it kind of dissolve?

And, for the record, big worms like that would never be spotted by looking at anyone's bum. That's for threadworms, because the females come out to lay the eggs. If any of you have gastrointestinal symptoms, it requires a stool analysis.

Showing this to dh now, he always laughs at me saying nothing can get up our pipe, I started putting a kettlebell on the toilet seat at night after reading on here about rats in the toilet!

Are you sure the DCs didn't just drop it in there to "see if it could swim"?

Sod the worms having sections though - I'd have to be sectioned if I found that, but then I have a stupid phobia of the things anyway

Ffs noooooooo don’t put it in Youtube.

I’ll have to watch it👀

Um... @legalseagull, I don't want to be alarmist but that does look exactly like a roundworm to me. Dogs can get them, but people absolutely do get them too. Easily treated in much the same way as threadworms, but definitely would need dealing with!

The only experience that i have had with 🪱 worms is from a dog.
She did have tapeworm but a friend of Mums who visited Africa did have a tapeworm-
Part of it emerged while she was in the bath back in UK, weeks later.

now I'm going to wear three pairs of knickers to bed

this thread is so funny. MN at its best

Is the toilet downstairs or upstairs? If upstairs, I can't see a worm crawling inside a vertical pipe that far.
