At end of my rope.27 yrs. of this, worse than ever, has anyone had little white "worms", I thought they were "roundworms." I know have Barton. and Babseia, Never had this. If I eat, I start coughing and my severe sinuses drip mucous into my mouth thick, thick mucous. They are in my sputum, stool, out my nose, I get a "salty " taste in my mouth, then when i eat or drink they start coming. I am sicker than ever, I am alone and feel like I am crazy. Ifyou post can you send private message too, it is hard for me to type and read.

You need to go to your doctor asap and tell him what's going on. You need antiparasiics. Do you have an LLMD?

It sounds like pinworms.... You do need a doctor who believes in parasites. Do you have one? If not, another option which can be done without a doctor is the chlorine dioxide protocol by Kerri Rivera which is currently used to heal autism. I am on the protocol and it kills worms very, very well.

I seriously would go to the ER- that's the fastest way of getting to see an ID doc. If your symptoms are that Obvious they would have to start u on some type of amtipariste med(s). Good luck, and take care of yourself! Btw, any idea how u contracted this?

Overwhelmed,
Many people with chronic Lyme have parasites. Another factor is that a lot of the ticks are carrying the filarial worm co-infection. You can check out the PARASITE WARRIORS SUPPORT THREAD here on lymenet for more insight.

P4lyme, can you see these things moving after they come out?
Pinworms don't actually come out of people's mouths. But there are some worms that can.
You may want to preserve some of these in a jar covered with 70% alcohol so that you may be able to have them identified/tested later.
I agree that you should see a Lyme-literate doctor asap if you can. In the meantime, see any doctor, taking a sample of the worm with you.

Elena, why can't pinworms come out of the mouth? On the CD Autism facebook group, there are several moms who have found what they thought were pinworms in the ears of their children and in their nasal mucous. I'm pretty sure they can be in the head area along with the rest of the body. I think most worms travel throughout the body.

Pin worms also known as thread worms live in human intestines. A small, white, and round worm, it is a parasite that lives in the colon of infected people known as the host and they look like short pieces of white cotton thread when seen.
Pinworm eggs hatch in the hosts small intestine. When grown, they travel to the rectum to lay eggs, and the "glue" that adheres the eggs to the anus is what triggers the skin's itching sensation. When someone scratches the itchy area, microscopic pinworm eggs are transferred to their fingers. Contaminated fingers can then carry pinworm eggs to the mouth, where they are either passed hand to mouth or to various surfaces, where they can live for 2 to 3 weeks and be picked up by others.
Also> passed by - clothing, bedding, fingers, under fingernails, or other contaminated objects and surfaces. Because of their small size, pinworm eggs sometimes can become airborne and ingested while breathing.

Perhaps they are lung flukes?

The eggs do get carried to the mouth, especially in tiny children with itchy bottoms who have not yet learned to be hygienic.
I've never heard any evidence of the actual pinworms (Enterobius) coming out of a patient's mouth.
But as I say, there are other worms that do.
Lungworms can be coughed up - Dr Klapow found a lungworm years ago in ME/CFS patients, including some who also had Lyme dx. But he said,as I recall, that the worm was extremely hard to detect, even for himself as a parasitologist. E.
