In secondary school I once had this issue, my mom dewormed me and I went to school the next morning. In class I kept feeling something crawling out my neck to my throat. After drinking water twice, I had to dip my fingers in and pull it out. It was exactly this one in the vid😔😔

Another user recounted the unsettling experience of passing live worms in their stool and vomiting worms on their mother's bed.

I swear if I hadn't experienced this before, I would have said it was a lie.
However, when I was younger, I used to shit live worms and I once vomited live worms on my mun’s bed. It was so scary. My schoolmates told my mum that I shited snakes.😂
