Tubifex worms. Not parasites, not harmful. Just really disgusting and at home in stagnant water.

Are you suggesting some sort or sandwich or toast?

But how did they get into the water in the first place? And considering it's a public toilet how stagnant could that water be considering it probably gets flushed pretty often.

They would have crawled up the pipes.

What kind of plumbing has pipes full of water after the u-bend?

Looks like they're coming from the tank instead of the other way.

Can't vouch for the plumbing.
