I just got a call from a friend asking if I can take them to the E.R. They were cutting their toenail because they felt alot of itching and 'a weird feeling' of something moving and once they cut the toenail way back it revealed a WORM!!
GROSS!! but what can that be?!?
I will be leaving to transport them in a while!
Thanks!

My cousin had worms in her body and it took about 2 years for her to get healthy again ...im not freaking you out..just the truth...
Eww is right. Never heard of it. Maybe they just have huge nails and a worm got in there. Make sure they duct tape and bag that foot before entering your vehicle. Ewww again.
OMG That is so freakin gross
it could be a tape worm or a guinie worm SP?. they exit through the feet and usually they requir pulling out which is extremely painful if not done by a professional.
it should be white and they can get reeeaaly long too which is worse. just go to the hospital and ya make sure they cover their foot when they get in ur car.
thats sick too. sry but its from contamonated water its not their fault.
take your friend to the doctor. quick
it could be baby tape worm. i know they are on the inside of the body, but they DO eat skin. has she had nausia before this? i am not sure, but i hope your friend is ok. e-mail me what happened and how she is!
Yep, if they went on vacation somewhere recently-then I can guarentee they got it from that other country. I saw a show one time where this lady had worms-Yes, wormS (more than 1, more like in the double digits) in her head. It is pretty gross, but people should be more careful and aware of their surroundings. Just the thought of it makes me squirm. But I doubt that it is life threatning. Just please, take them to the ER,and quick too!
Are you sure it isn't ring worm? This is common on the toe or under a toe nail -
It really isn't a worm but a fungus -
Gross none the less.
