Pinworms(?)

Okay... so, literally out of the blue one day but bum started itching so (jokingly) thought to myself “man, I feel like a dog with worms”. Then I googled it and lo-and-behold, that’s a freaking thing for people too!! So I did the whole feces check, “butt-check” and found a worm, at least I think it was a worm. There were 2 in my stools but they weren’t moving, that’s for sure. So obviously I geeked out and went to my pharmacy and picked up some medicine and took it (two days ago) and also got some MSM because I read that helps. So, nothing for two days. No dead worms on me or in my stools. The itching was gone but obviously every little itch or feeling at all and I panic and think WORMS!! Then this morning I take a shower, and again, nothing. So again this evening I take another shower and there were lots of little tiny white flecks, which I’m assuming are worms because one of them certainly was and I know the eggs are microscopic. Again, it was pretty shriveled and dead looking.. also not moving. What I’m wondering is if this is normal after treatment? I would assume the dead worms don’t just stay inside of you, so it makes sense for them to exit the body in one way or another...

I’m a very clean person so I’m pretty confused by this whole thing.. I wash my hands incessantly but lately have been doing it non-stop, washing all of the towels and linens in hot water daily, “quarantining” any dirty clothing until it goes into the machine, wiping the floors, toilets, tubs, etc. All I know is that this is gross. 

So moral of the story, never seen a live one on me or in my stools, but seen 3 dead ones in my stools, and one dead one on me.. I took the first dose of Reese’s and have the second one ready for next week. Take MSM supplements, wash my hands constantly, etc. I just want to know if seeing what I can only explain to be dead pieces of worms is normal?

This is gross. Thanks for any information!
