I’m presently being tested for parasites at Mayo. The first test showed none, have 2 more after this. I have an extremely itchy scalp. Dermatologist have given me many shampoos and treatments and none have worked, I have a very gritty scalp. Also have what appears to be flakes or coffee grounds in my stools. Was checked for internal bleeding and had endoscopy and both negative. I have a tickling feeling all over especially at night. I was a international flight attendant for 48 years and possibly picked up something on my travels. Are the tests conclusive?
I recently had an ova & parasite test done. Two samples. In both, roundworms were highly visible with the naked eye. Test came back negative on both. I'm guessing they just put it straight in the trash without even opening the sample because it literally makes no sense. I'm hesitant to even argue with the doctor or bring up the fact I have photos because as others have stated, they get labeled delusional. If I was a dog or cat you would treat the issue, but since I am human it's not real? There is a BIG problem when drs. are gaslighting us about something than can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

It appears to be some species of hydra.
