okay so im like 90% sure i DON’T have worms, but i get REALLY paranoid sometimes when people around me get stuff.
a friend of mine has a dog who has worms, and i usually play with the dog a lot because hes really friendly and i throw frisbees and stuff to him.
but i heard my friend say that worms are contagious and stuff, and now i wanna be sure i know what to look for.
how do i know i need to go to the doc?
would i see worms in my stool, or some other symptoms?
