To the person who has asked about "worms" in feces (and is unsure about seeing
a physician), you should see a physician immediately (if the "worms" are in
your feces) or take you pet (or whatever) to veterinarian. While many "worms"
cause few if any problems in humans and animals (other than being a nuisance),
some have the potential of causing serious (and even life-threating) pathology.
Also, I would strongly recommend that you do not ask for "diagnostic"
information via the internet. While you are likely to get someone who really
knows what they are talking about, you could just as easily get some crack pot
who will lead you down the wrong path.
