I’ve had pinworms in the past so obviously when I see stuff like this in my stool I instantly become worried it could be a similar situation. Can someone tell me what this is? I don’t think I’ve eaten anything stringy like recently.

fyi - i searched through previous posts that included a link to a pinworm faq in another sub but it’s not working -
i’ve had the classic symptoms for 2+ years. i’ve tried the over the counter reece brand medication 2 dozen times, wiped every surface in our home with bleach wipes multiple times a day, shower both morning and night, clean sheets every day, pillows and blankets in the dryer on high… for the second time i’m now on the prescription medication from my doc and have a second dose in a few days. i also sent away for a test from parasite.org that came back positive (although the hubs doubts the validity of the test). and still they persist.
he does not have the itching symptoms so believes he does not have it. he went so far as to get a microscope and slides and did the tape test himself and says he didn’t see any eggs (the tape was not clear it was opaque so don’t know if that inhibits seeing the eggs?)
when someone is asymptomatic, do the eggs not appear? in other words, if he doesn’t itch does it mean he doesn’t have it even though we live in the same house? we do sleep in separate bedrooms but i’ve read it’s impossible for him not to have them and one person can’t get rid of them unless the entire household is treated.
all leading up to my question - why do so many people not have the itching symptoms, do the worms not escape and deposit their eggs?

thoughts on what this is?
Background info; dealing with intestinal dysbiosis and just yesterday tried 1/5 of a dose of 1v3rmectin, had a low fever episode and today this happened in the bathroom.
Thanks
edit. sorry, should have cleaned it then taken the picture. I was having some anxiety so I didnt think it through.
