We just received these photos:
The woman who sent them asked us, “What is this worm I spit up?” She further explained her situation: She has had sinus problems for quite some time now, and complains that she constantly feels as though there is something stuck in the back of her nose. In addition, her phlegm (the thick viscous substance secreted by mucous membranes of the respiratory passages) is very sticky and looks clear and has jell-like balls covered in black specks in it. (We believe you can clearly see the described “jell-like balls” in the photographs she sent us.) Finally, she explained that she is coughing up what looks like black thread and is “super bubbly and when spit into a clear glass of water it webs out with different viscosities.” This reader wants our help because she thinks she might be suffering from a parasite. Eek!!
We are really concerned about our reader! It seems as though she is suffering from a truly scary experience. However, we are NOT medical professionals of any kind. Therefore, we cannot advise this woman or speculate about if she is suffering from a parasite or not. We encourage her to make an appointment with a licensed medical professional as soon as possible! When she goes to see the doctor she should bring these photos, as well as a list of her symptoms. A doctor will be far more equipped to help her out than we are!
In summary, one of our readers believes she might be coughing up a parasite that is infecting her sinuses. Since we aren’t medical professionals, there is not much we can do to help our reader out in this scary situation. Rather, we think she should see a doctor immediately. We wish her the best of luck in finding health!

27/01/24 Yes, concerns for Incognito, Jan./23. (I misspelled 2nd word, it was underlined
so I’m monitored here). I’m North of 49th, PST. For a few years I have had nasal parasites
esp. right nostril. Hard scabby things emerge that I try to dig at w/finger-nail. Rarely get even a tiny piece. Sometimes if I do, there’s a spot of blood. But they instantly withdraw
& disappear. My ‘doctor’ will not talk about it. When I look up info on Cleveland Clinic,
or Mayo Clinic, and today on https://diseases-conditions.blurtit.com/158919/are-there-parasites/ + they suggest to contact your doctor/physician. Ya, right ! I try to manage the nasal scabs with H. Peroxide, Bactine, even straight bleach,- nothing affects them. I just want to try Ivermectin which has helped many people, even against covid injections
containing parasites. But there’s too little profit for the Corp. profiteers, so some doctors
cater to them for kick-backs. I’m 88.3 and want somebody to investigate. Other than
‘sites and arrhythmia, I have fully normal lab tests. At the side here, I see–
“Get tested for parasites at a fully-qualified lab near you, no doctor’s visit required, through All About Worm’s partnerships with HealthLabs and Life Extension Labs!” Where
might this be ? T.Y.
I cannot leave my name or email address. I have been plagued by a trio of parasites shoved up my nose by a cult or organized crime, made up primarily of Americans, while I was gassed unconscious in Costa Rica, where I lived for 15 years, retired. My 6 dogs and I were gassed, injected with a neurotoxin, and I received the parasites + beaten and stomped on nearly to death. I spent 7 months recovering in a hospital in the USA. Your article erroneously suggests that anyone thinking they might be infected with a tropical parasite should see a physician as soon as possible. WRONG!! Local physicians will send samples to their lab. The lab has a technician who has never seen tropical parasites, so the tech will call the worm simply mucus…..or nothing, leading to a diagnosis of a psychosis, a delusional patient. 5 years go by, and the patient dies, flesh eaten away by screw worms. This is happening to me. I will return to Costa Rica to see the good old “country doctor” near my rural horse ranch. He sees owners and workers on cattle ranches, and he has seen all the parasites. He will correctly diagnose me and prescribe the correct medication/s to take to kill off this trio of parasites that have been in my body for 5 years. I am 77 years old, and I am dying from the ignorance and complacency of USA primary care physicians. YOU NEED TO LIST SPECIFIC TROPICAL PARASITE SPECIALISTS FOUND WITHIN THE CONTIGUOUS 48 USA STATES.
