Sorry for the gross picture. NC’d because this is disgusting and I’m ashamed even whilst being anonymous.
DH is a big lumbering former rugby player. He eats 4000-5000 calories per day, is 6’3 and 100kg. It’s a joke with everyone we know that he’s a dustbin. Now, he doesn’t exercise at all but has gained no weight. He’s constantly starving and constantly eating - if he doesn’t eat for a few hours then he gets light-headed and irritable. He also has memory issues and can’t focus on things (I’ve posted before about this and was told to look at ADHD and diabetes). ADHD just doesn’t tie in with other things (he hasn’t always been this way) and I’ve been trying to encourage him to get tested for diabetes.
However, he’s just had a tummy ache and thought he might have diarrhoea. He’s gone to the toilet and there’s massive worms in it that appear to be dead. I can’t identify what kind they are - I’m sure as hell not asking someone I know in real life. Definitely not threadworm.
I’ve seen some things online about catching them abroad and we visited SE Asia for a long time but not since 2018!! On top of that, I found an article about Malaysia and whipworm - we spent a lot of time in Malaysia.
Can anyone identify this? Has he really had it since 2018? Do we all need testing/checking/treating? What about the dogs? Can this wait until Tuesday or should we go to the OOH tomorrow?
Happy New Year folks! 😫
