Earthworms do not have eyes, they do have cells that are sensitive to light distributed through their outer skin. These don't let earthworms see images, but it does allow their skin to detect light and changes in light intensity. earth worms are more sensitive to the chemical and temperature in the environment around them.

Nobody really knows if any living creature can feel emotions, because emotions are a subjective experience. Whether it is an animal, from a, seemingly, very simple worm to a complex mammal, primate, or even another human being, we do not know that another living thing is feeling any emotions unless they communicate it to us in some way. Since we humans can communicate with each other by what we call language, it may tend to give us an anthropomorphic (human) view on the world and all the living things in it. By that, I mean, we tend to 'see the world through human-colored glasses' as though we are something unique and different, rather than a part of a complex whole that we can call 'life.' With that in mind, we may never truly be able to answer the question as to whether worms have feelings.

We can, however, make some 'humanistic assumptions' if we look at other mammals' brains, and compare them with our own. Then we can see that the emotional processing parts of the brain, the limbic system, is almost identical in all mammals, including humans. From that we can deduce that all mammals can feel emotions, or have 'feelings.' Anyone that has a close pet cat or dog will surely agree that they can indeed feel emotions.

And then, if we take another step back, and look at all forms of multicellular animal life, we can see that they all have at least one thing in common; a nervous system. And that includes even worms.

So, if they have a nervous system, it is possible that worms can also have feelings.

What white worm lives on or in the body?

It depends where in the world you are located. There are a variety of worms/parasites that will live in/on humans. For instance, there is a fly in Brazil that carries its eggs under them but will land on humans, release the eggs and they will bury in your skin as well as hatch very quickly after being laid. In the US this is common of the botfly. You may hear of the worms being called wolfs or wolf worms. If you go to google.com and type in human worms there should be a variety of information you may be looking for.
