Toilet Worms
I saw something similar in a neglected ( covered with a plastic bag for god
knows how long) clogged toilet in a building I was working at..I pulled the
bag to fix the toilet after someone called me and was totally grossed out by
a squirming mess of little worms in the water and crap in the bowl. I'm not
normally easily upset ( hell I used to repair sewage ejector pumps for a
living) but this was so unexpected and so nasty I admit I took a few steps
back and almost ran for it!
Once I recovered my composure, I went and got some supplies for the
attack..I poured a gallon of bleach ( ok, it was overkill, but these things
were gross) into the crap in the toilet and the worms reacted violently,
spasmed for a few minutes, then died and that was the end of it. Never saw
another one anywhere. I never did figure out what they were, in my shop
discussions we were evenly divided between fly larva ( maggots) and some
kind of parasite that was living in the **** in the toilet and kept on
living after the dump. I can't say I wanted to get any closer to really
examine them to figure it out anyway.
So get a nice spray bottle, fill it with pure bleach, then blast away when
you have the toilet out, I suspect this will solve the problem.

I've got a toilet that leaks at the base of the toilet. I know I need to
install a new wax ring. No problem there.
My issue is that when it leaks, out come these little worms (nasty, I
know.) After I remove the toilet how can I get rid of these creatures?
TIA.
