If a person had threadworms in their bowl movement, would they be moving or still? how can you tell if they are worms or just something else you ate?

: If you have not travelled to a poor country, you do not have any worms. To allay your concern, you could ask you doctor to get a stool test for ova and parasites, however, I would not recommend that.
