Brief Answer:
Unlikely

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all like to inform you that ingestion of live worm around 10 years back unlikely to affect you. This is because our body goes through constant wear and tears and repairs. In addition at the 14 years of age wear and tear are much less and there construction dominates across various organ systems.

Ingestion of live worm probably resulted in just abnormal feeling as our digestive system helps to digest the most creatures if ingested live.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
