They don't "see worms in you". Doctors will ask for a stool sample and examine it for eggs, larvae, and other signs of worms. For serious cases, they use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) to check for damage to other organs the worms have caused.

Could be a tapeworm larva. My cat used to get them all the time.

Have you not ever take a high school biology class? I had to dissect a tape worm to pass that class..... So nasty.

Looks like she needs a middle school English class.
