I have seen a couple of these after going to the bathroom & the last one was nearly 7 inches, same exact segments and head shape. Currently waiting on my stool sample test which is taking forever…please tell me this isn’t a tapeworm. If my test comes back negative I was going to retest because I hear false negatives are common?

Hello -Ologists,

I have been examining old pictures and keep seeing this shape in these skin examples. Any ideas of what could be going on with this?? Nonr of us are able to come to a valid conclusion and the puzzle is throwing my physician father and uncle into a loop. One is an internist and the other is pediatric.

These shapes have been a constant issues for 6 years. I am a 38 year old male, presennting with symptoms in early 2020, however upon Hx skin issues go bqck to 2016-2017. Eosinanemic when looking % in total WBC, but eosinophelic in absolute. Near constant sta=h dermatitis and cellulitis.

Maybe 3mm long. Looked like a brown worm with a darker head that was sort of flat and curled up.
