I’d like to add this is not my specimen but dd’s. 😁. She did go to wagamama two nights ago and had rice pad Thai. No noodles but I think pad Thai has bean sprouts. She reckons it’s too long for a bean sprout

Could it be an old tampon string that came out at the same time?

She doesn’t use tampons. Only towels.

Has she had a dodgy tummy?

I lived in a country where we got worms all the time and we just took a tablet once a year! Not sure I ever saw something that long though. Tape worms are normally quite flat.

Could it be a fibre string?

Probably best to take the de worming stuff anyway!

She’s had a dodgy tummy for years, as in is always suffering from abdominal pain. She hasn’t had any diahorrhea though.

Poor girl. Best to go to the doc. Is it a fresh sample? I wonder if it will last till tomorrow and you could take it in!

Looks sort of segmented, like tape worm.
