Don't read this at your meal time.
In Japan, school children must bring a stool sample to a school every 3~5 years or so for the parasite check-up. Teacher hands you this high-tech looking transparent plastic film with the bulls-eye printed for the lab-tech., to aim the microscope. At the comfort of your home bathroom, one sandwiches the match head sized stool and sandwich it between this film.
In grade 5, a naughty kid broke in to the teacher's file cabinet, and found out that one boy out of entire grade 5, got a positive. The name, the worm guy, stuck to him till graduation. Poor kid..
And the urban legend goes..
One day, this kid couldn't do his business and no sample to hand in. He was afraid to get in trouble with the teacher, so he picks up the stray dog's poop found on a street and hand this in. Few days later, teacher call his mom and says, " Your son is very very sick, what the hell are you feeding him!!???"
