It's impossible to identify the worm from that description.  There are a number of options.\n\nHowever, my best guess is that it is a horsehair worm.  Horsehair worms are rather fascinating creatures, possibly responsible for inspiring the film "Alien".  Adult worms live in water where they lay their eggs.  The eggs hatch into larvae, who make their way to an appropriate place to be eaten!  Once an insect (usually a grasshopper or a relative, such as cockroaches) eats them, they crawl out of it's digestive system and live in it's abdomen, growing every larger.  When they become adults, they secrete a chemical, causing the insect to get very thirsty.  It rushes to the nearest body of water, where the horsehair worm tears it's way out of the insects stomach and into the water, where it looks for another horsehair worm so it can start the whole process over again.

Filaria is a long, thread-like roundworm called Wuchereria Bancrofti that lives as a parasite in the bodies of human beings and animals. The male worm is shorter than the female and it has a curved tail. This is mainly found in Central Africa, Asia and the Southwest Pacific

Not sure but it ISN"T snakes and frogs. We have plenty here! Possibly a newt.

Flatworms and roundworms are as different as frogs and snakes. Or perhaps less different when we forget the science part of it.Flat worms hape a flat body, like tape.And they do not have a coelom. What is a coelom? If you cut open a higher animal (eg. a mouse)you will find that their body is like a hollow bag filled with liquids and organs. The empty space of the body in which these organs lie and which is filled up of body fluids is called coelom. In flat worms, this entire space is filled with compact tissue.Sexes are not separate and specialised cells called flame cells are responsible for excretion. In round worms, the coelom exists but is actually pseudocoelom or "false coelom". This means patches of tissue are present scattered in the coelom. Sexes are separate ie. males and females are separate. Moreover an excretory tube is responsible for excretion instead of flame cells.

Giardia lamblia are excreted in the feces of infected animals, including humans, and can cause diarrheal disease if ingested. They are of particular concern in water treatment. Unlike endospores, they are readily destroyed by boiling. I'm a microbiologist who has seen these little protozoans under the scope, both in cyst and trophozoite form. I was hiking in New Mexican mountains a year ago  in a spot where a member of my team had contracted this giardiasis. We were camped near a running stream and knew not to drink from it. The woman who got sick was showering (using a solar shower with water taken from the stream) and evidently wasn't careful about the water around her mouth and must have ingested the cysts which led to her violent cramps and sickness. It was later confirmed in both her diarrhetic and formed stool that she did have dysentery caused by Giardia lamblia. \n\nAs far as the primary source? It is mainly animals other than humans. But it isn't just a "hike in the woods" kind of thing...it's any fecal contaminated water supply - not just streams or rivers out in the wilderness. It's a constant problem in third world countries. But if I would have to say specifically which one IN the wilderness...I'd have to side with animals other than humans. There are far more of them in the wilderness than there are humans. \n\nIf you heard (that there was a recent surge in giardia cases) from news media....well lets just say that they'll put anything they hear on the air. Remember the supposed "summer of the shark" and how shark attacks were on the rise? In all actuality, the number of attacks was still average - no spike.\n\nIf you need a definitive source on this subject, I would check out scientific journals on the web. At least they are supposed to be more of a sure thing on accuracy than personal websites.

It could be a parasite but it could also be a anal fissure or fistula.\n\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic495.htm

Global warming.  It is killing all the frogs too!\n\nIf the frogs get eliminated...what's next!

The modern amphibians (a natural group called Lissamphibia) comprise urodeles (salamanders), anures (frogs and toads) and caecilians or apodes. These are intriguing amphibians because they're highly adapted to life underground or in water, and few people know them or have ever seen them in the wild, although they're fairly common in all the world. \nThe name "caecilia" means "blind", and indeed their eyes are covered by the skin and sometimes by bone too, although they can perceive light and dark. \nI like them, if only because I share my first name with them. \nHere's a picture of one showing their exclusive sensory tentacle:\nhttp://www4.nau.edu/bilby/photo_illustration_page/images_photo_page/Caecilian.jpg

some frogs can blend in with their surroundings. theyre green like leaves, some have brownish tones on their bodies to blend in with dirt and twigs, etc.\n\nalso some tree frogs are poisonous
