Answer by Mack-tackular.
I’m not an expert on human parasites, but the best way to get rid of something is to visit a doctor. They can correctly diagnose what type of parasite they are and prescribe some kind of medication.
I know little of Ascaris lumbricoides, but I know they’re a type of round worm and are white.
I looked up some information on them.
“Most diagnoses are made by identifying the appearance of the worm or eggs in feces. Due to the large quantity of eggs laid physicians can diagnose using only one or two fecal smears.
Infections can be treated with drugs called ascaricides. The treatment of choice is Mebendazole. The drug functions by binding to tubulin in the worms’ intestinal cells and body wall muscles. Nitazoxanide and ivermectin can also be used. ”
Good luck!
