My mom is 98 and has dementia.  She is only on pain management at this point.  She ralllied during hospice care and is no longer a hospice patient.  We noticed this morning a worm( blackish gray) 1/2 in long curled up in half circle.  Is this for real aor are we awfulizing.  The urine was very thick and strong smelling.  What do you think?                Thanks, Brad     My Email is  YYYY@YYYY   I apoligize, but I did not realize this was a pay sight.  Im sorry to have bothered you.  Brad
Hi there ~I understand that you saw a blackish gray 1/2 inch worm, but you do not mention where you saw it.  Assuming you saw it in the fecal matter, since you mention you saw it in the morning, I think that you should have the fecal matter tested for any ova or cysts.  Using albendazole twice in a period of a week will help if you detect any ova or cysts, however you need to consult a doctor for a prescription.  I hope this gives you a good perspective of what needs to be done.  I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
