[TL;DR] Years ago (I was ~16) I realized that I was constantly experiencing brain fog. In time after that I developed superhuman anxiety and depression. And eventually horrid IBS symptoms daily. I always contributed these psychological elements to my allergies (i would hock up phleghm 50+ times a day, and even had trouble speaking past all of it). But after taking Quercetin regularly this June I had absolutely no allergy symptom, as in phleghm, watery eyes etc.
I had tried every single supplement I could track down to deal with the crippling anxio-depression and brain fog. Save for extreme dosages of methylphenidate and phenibut daily for years, I could never keep my mind running correctly. EVERY racetam you could purchase, every vitamin, supplement, research chemical... Nothing stopped my anxiety, I couldnt even have a conversation 85% of the the time.
I was at the end of the line, I had marked off every single potential cause of this down the list, I stopped going to the doctor 3 years ago because they only sucked me dry financially and gave me NOTHING but a long list of misdiagnosis and awful anti-depressants.
I had some thought about intestinal worms, since I work on a farm (among many other hobbies and professions) I couldnt help thinking how I have to deworm animals 4+ times a year but humans don't deworm themselves... and we eat way more riskier things. [/TL;DR]
The World Health Org. states parasites are a higher risk than cancer, and 1.4B people have some sort of harmful parasite, 10-20% of people in the US itself...
Curiosity got the best of me, and I went to the co-op and bought the cheapest ivermectin syrup. Took it (~15mg) @ 3am on the the 7/15/14 and went to bed, at 7am I woke up with cramps and grumbling and rushed to the bathroom, and there came out my faeces laced with 200+ 6mm long 'ropey' worms, some tangled about eachother, completely lifeless... second bowel movement that afternoon showed ~50 corpses, and the following since then absolutely none.
Upon observing these creatures I was obviously very shook up. Within 48 hours after ingestion, the change was black and white... I had NO brain fog, even immediately waking up (I had never had a brain fog free period between 10am-5pm), I had ZERO anxiety, and I felt exponentially more 'aware/awake'
My sister and my best friend who both have struggled with psychiatric problems + GI diseases took equivalent doses. Their results still pending.

QA
I replicated my diet tightly the next two days to verify the corpses were not fibers from vegetables/snacks.
And I am very familiar with colon mucus and anomalies, so these are not.
I cannot identify what species they are, and they appear to have some sort of membrane (much like mucus) which hide their true color.
Enclosed are a picture of the parasites, the one on theright is actually two of them wrapped around eachother. My microscope is subpar so could not get a decent magnification. They strongly resemble 'ropeworms' that website talks about that tries to sell you 'coffee enemas', though the existence of said Rope Worms are involved in scientific controversy.
I am a VERY hygienic person, I wash my hands often (OCD), i cook vegetables, and cook meat with a thermometer, and i rarely eat out (and smart enough to NEVER eat uncooked food like salads etc at restaurants).
Can anyone identify these?
