A member asked:
What if you see something worm-like on your stool thats not moving at all? - and are tapeworm segments hard?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Doctor: You might want to bring stool sample into your dr to check for parasites to be sure but it may be possibly nothing. Tapeworm segments usually are not hard but firmer perhaps and are greyish / white.
