Atiny bright white string in stool. pinworm? i took mebendezanole a few weeks ago. nothing seen otherwise. it wasn't moving, would more b seen?

Enterobius: Unlikely to present in this manner. About the only worm you are likely to see grossly in the stool would be Ascaris, and these are very large and usually quite mobile. Enterobiasis, which primarily causes itching in the anal area is seldom without symptoms.
