How to test for worms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parasites?: I am unclear which worms but i will tell you about parasites. The standard test is still ova and parasites in the stool. There are antibody tests in the blood that can be done for exposure and one specific test is the string test for strongyloidiasis. There can worms on the skin that have to be seen or suspected areas as the brain and the eyes depending on risks.
