<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My mom is 98 and has dementia. She is only on pain management at this point. She ralllied during hospice care and is no longer a hospice patient. We noticed this morning a worm blackish gray 12 in long curled up in half circle. Is this for real aor are we awfulizing. The urine was very thick and strong smelling. What do you think? Thanks, Brad My Email is YYYYYY I apoligize, but I did not realize this was a pay sight. Im sorry to have bothered you. Brad  <response>: Hi there I understand that you saw a blackish gray 12 inch worm, but you do not mention where you saw it. Assuming you saw it in the fecal matter, since you mention you saw it in the morning, I think that you should have the fecal matter tested for any ova or cysts. Using albendazole twice in a period of a week will help if you detect any ova or cysts, however you need to consult a doctor for a prescription. I hope this gives you a good perspective of what needs to be done. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
