Answers:
She has a habit of asking questions just to stir people up. Ignore her. (She also asked how much it costs to get your tubes tied because she'd tired of having abortions every couple of months!)

Other Answers:
no idea, but i hope not! i read that question also, man its disgusting!

NASTY,YUCK,ICCY,EWWWW! Don't want to even THINK or TALK about it. Pretty sure. NO.

I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT B4. DOESNT MEAN IT CANT HAPPEN I GUESS.. HMMM, I THINK I WOULD ASK SOMEONE IN THE PROFESSIONAL FIELD ON THIS ONE. I KNOW IF SOMEONE IN THE FAMILY HAS PIN WORMS THE WHOLE FAMILY THAT LIVES AT THE SAME HOUSE HAS TO BE TREATED EVEN IF THEY DON'T HAVE THEM..

They are a paraste that enters mostly through dirty drinking water.

it is highly doubtful. just wash your hands after using the restroom, and you will not contract anything. I don't know but i guess it is possible

yea u can.its gross.thats why if i go to a public restroom i put paper towel inside and outside the toilet and stand up.lol.i dont want worms that were in someone elses thingy!!

You bet you can. Worms can survive..I believe 7 days (don't quote me on that) but it is a while. I always squat, or wipe of the seat really good with TP before I sit down.

i doubt it but use a cover anyway No, the tapeworm is transmitted through humans by the consumption of raw or undercooked pork that is infected. Pigs serve as intermediate host as the eggs are ingested by the pig, then hatch inside the pig. The form of tapeworm infections is usually symptomatic but eggs may be found in stool or around the perineal area. and is treated by a drug called: Niclosamide

Yes, but it is not likely. If she really has them she probably got them from sleeping with or in the same bed as someone who has them.
Tape worms and pin worms are not the same thing. google it and find out for yourself!

Yes, you can get worms. Most of the time, they are "tape worms." Look it up on google (or yahoo)

Treatment is pretty simple though, by taking one or two pills. The common source is dirt (ie. playing with dirt and not washing), unwashed vegetables (rare if bought commercially), fish (rare also) and any type of contaminated food that may have the worm themselves or eggs.

Very unlikely you get it from public bathroom.

yes, it is possible.if somebody leaves residue or feces on the the seat then it's very possible to get worms from another person. Just be sure before you sit down on the seat to either check it thoroughly or wipe it off and always wash your hands, especially if it's a public restroom.hope this helps
