Hello, I went through your query, don't worry, continue your regular Thyroid medicines, these "worms" you have eaten will get digested in food as other normal food. Taking single 400mg albendazole tablet will clear any parasites (hook and round worms) in your intestine. Please consult any physician for prescription.
