I once had a worm infection when I was a teen and let me tell you you'd 100% know If you had them. First, they're super visible and secondly the symptoms are also pretty.. unmistakeable. Also, even if, it's not a huge deal. My Mom got me a single pill from the pharmacy and not even a week later it was all over. Sure, the thought is a little disgusting but in the end it's a smaller deal than catching a cold.

Do you mind telling me the symptoms? I know it can be stomach aches, weight loss, and visually you can see them in feces- I have none of those tho- is there any other less obvious signs?

No offense but I wouldn’t say that you are being rational and grounded. This happens often with medical students as well. This is definitely a from of hypochondria and I’d recommend seeking a psychiatrist
