Ok. My hamster passed away in August last year, and i've been stupid and kept her cage in my room, not cleaned it out all this time.. i know i have been VERY stupid and unhealthy but I promised if I saw something strange in there, i'd throw it out. Well yesterday my dad found a pink hairbrush in my room that i'd not used since last year, next to the hamster cage. He put it on the cabinet beside my bed. When I went to brush my hair, the brush had hair in it (that i'd not removed after last use) and three worms in it. They looked chunky and about 1.5cm length, every two seconds they wriggled. I screamed and threw the brush away. The worms were beige coloured.. that's all i remember. Remember there length is about 1.5cm.
I have thrown the hamster cage out now.
1. Have I done the right thing.
2. What are these worms?
I have looked on the floor and can't see anymore worms, or in the cage..
Also while sleeping I got bit twice behind my ankle.. did these 'worms' bite me? are they related
