What Do Worms On The Body Indicate?

My mother has found worms on her body( white ones, little black worms that look like hair, and she states little black bugs or eggs) and lower body area (vagina) and she told me she had them when I took her on Vacation with me. We didn t sleep in same bed but we did ride in car and share seats and lots of touching what do I need to be on look out for she is just now going to doc to find out what she has and get treatment but I am worried for my kids and myself and every time i talk to her I feel like i may have it (she makes me feel like they are crawling on me) I have asked my kids and they states they are fine but I worry they just might not tell me as they are teens. So I guess what do I need to look for it was 3 weeks ago we were together how long should i be on the watch to see if we get it?

Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

You should keep your child under observation for another 3-4 week. I suggest you to check your and your child's stool routine micro examination and occult blood test. Your mother should get treated for worm with bandy plus like anthelmetic drug that contain ivermectine and albendazole. You can Consult physician for examination and get prescription.

Hope I have answered your question.
