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!

A tapeworm came out of my cats bum whole, and wound round her tail after giving her a worming tablet.
At first I thought it was a necklace! It was white and had segments. I made dh pull it off and the rest came out of her bum.

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

I was going to say it looks like it might have a saddle at the top of the visible part.

I've had this before. Had just returned from a visit to family so the loos hadn't been used for 1 week plus. Went to the loo, looked down in the bowl and there was a single large worm swimming about in there. Panicked and flushed it away but much googling and reading worm forums (it takes all sorts...) reassured me that it was probably an earthworm or red worm, which are both composting worms so attracted to poop and would have somehow got up from the drains. I did a deep clean of my loo with borax type stuff and have never seen another.
It did amaze me as the loo in question is on the first floor so would have been quite the ascent for the wee fella.

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

this thread is so funny. MN at its best

We need to send a Polonium worm to Russia to crawl inside Putin’s rectum.

Oh it’s always nice when a new fear unlocks itself 😰

Someone I know had an earthworm in the loo last week, so it's definitely possible!

Fun fact: a Clitellum is the ‘posh’ word for the saddle in the earthworm

It looks like the roundworms in this article:

To those saying rat, having kept them as pets, it's nothing like a rat tail. They don't wriggle like a worm, they go stiff like a pendulum.

I'd be too scared to sit on that toilet ever again!

@PukkaP

It's quite possible that it's come through the pipe. I once found a frog in my toilet. It definitely hadn't come out of my bum

You’re in denial.

Being the Derp that I am, I must add this to the random facts section of my brain. Thank you!

Human round worms arent white. They are brownish pink. They are more smooth and no obvious saddle bit. Thread worms are white but tiny 1cm long

Can someone please tell me how I can use the loo whole still keeping my kecks pulled up

@Northernsoullover

The OP is probably out cold on the floor following the 🐀 mention.

@Northernsoullover - I've been seeing rats (they're quite cute actually) on the green outside my local Sainsburys!

Someone was filming them the other day and I noticed bread put down - no wonder they're around!

@RodneySodney

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

Upstairs

We haven't been abroad though

If anyone wants to feel more sick than they currently do having read this thread so far....

Warning: Avoid reading this if you're currently drinking a nice cup of tea!

I found a newt in my kettle once. Could only have come out of the kitchen tap.

Sorry to say that you get round worms from pork

I've figured out how to share the video

Please tell me it's an earthworm and not a roundworm. We haven't been abroad!

Don't watch unless you want to be constipated forever more

@legalseagull oh my gosh 😩 no longer using the toilet 😂🥲

It’s front end looks bigger and chunkier than the rest I think?

Oh I wish I didn't watch that

No idea what it is but think it was running away from your child’s very authoritative voice. I’d take the kid to the loo with you every time from now on as a secret weapon.
