Answer 1

I don't think parasites live very long out of the 'host's' body.  Of course if you feel they might be and feel bad about it you could take a course of tablets (from the pharmacy) just in case.  It would set your mind at ease.  I don't know why you have not been able to wash your laundry for 2 weeks but you should have put it in bin liners or something so it could not be contaminated from anything else.  We went on a 2 week tour once where we could not wash any laundry and we took enough clothing with us and we definitely did not have any worms or anything in our laundry when we managed to eventually wash it.  We kept it in plastic bags in our luggage though.  Get it all washed ASAP and good luck.

Answer 2

The best thing to do is keep dirty laundry up off the floor and in a hamper. Those bugs are normal from laundry as its dirty and the floor is probably damp under the clothes.

Those bugs aren't from you. :)

Answer 3

By any chance do you have a cat or dog?  Or maybe from a fly or soil from plants or gardening or the park or something that may have gotten on your clothes and you didn't know.  Just clean out and disinfect the laundry basket and around the area.

Answer 4

Relax- tapeworms are white and can get very long.

sounds like normal bugs or worms. try to keep things off the floor and keep the floor as dry and clean as possible.
