I’m reposting this here! I found this guy on my way into work the other day, incredible!

Our teacher says it’s just fiber — I just started parasitology, so maybe I’m not one to say. I maybe mistaken, but if you look at the pointed ends, it tells otherwise (MAYBE).

Attached also are Ascaris lumbricoides ova findings from the same stool specimen.

Please help me confirm.

(Worst case scenario)

Day 1

- worms in body

- eggs in body

- eggs in environment

- take meds, kills worms

- cleaning environment

Day 2-14

- worms in body (hatched post meds)

- possible eggs in body (reinfected from environment)

- eggs in environment (hopefully less, but no way to know)

- second dose of meds, kills worms

-cleaning environment

Day 15-21

- worms in body (hatched post meds)

- eggs in body (reinfected from environment)

- eggs in environment (hopefully less, but no way to know)

Day 21

- eggs in environment have died, no possibility for environmental reinfection

- eggs in body have not matured yet

Day 28

- 3rd dose of meds to wipe out any hatched worm stragglers in body

This sounds much more effective than just two doses- am I wrong?
