Can Anal Itching And Bloating Be Caused By Worms In The Lobster?
In April my husband ate lobster in san diego and a few weeks later we saw tiny brown worms with stipes and a pin size head. He ate garlic cloves and didn t see them again until now. Now we see them alive he picked it up with a q tip it is very tiny not like pin worm or round worm. Plus he has anal itching and bloating.

Hi,
He may be having issues if worm infestation may not be related to lobster. He may need to de-worm himself. Preferably may be started on Albendazole or Mebendazole. The bloating can be relieved with motility agents like Domperidone or Itapride as well as antacids like Omerperazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
