Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. Last night I poured milk into my cup and drank some of it. Afterwards I saw some small white worms crawling out of it. I didn t suspect anything because the milk didn t taste bad. What happens now? Will I get some kind of parasitic infection? What are the symptoms? I feel weird in my abdominal area. Honestly I do not know if it s just my restlessness or if there is something wrong. Please help me.
You have consumed milk that was contaminated by worms. The worms will be destroyed by the acid which is present in the stomach during the process of digestion. So you need not worry. If any infection would occur then you would develop symptoms like fever, diarrhoea, vomiting etc.. I think there is nothing wrong with you.
Thank you
