The Golden Crow said that the original form of the Golden Thread Worm was actually just an ordinary threadworm.
Because the host died, it was buried with the host in the tomb.
Ancient Tombs often contained many gold and silver artifacts as burial items; even the seven orifices of the corpse would be sealed with gold, jade, or something similar.
Some dignitaries, to prevent grave robbers, would even pour Mercury into their tombs.
The worms bred on the corpse. As the air conditions within the Ancient Tomb changed, they began to mutate and devour one another.
The one that ultimately survived was called the Golden Thread Worm.
After being infected with the Golden Thread Worm Poison, there is usually no external manifestation.
It's only when one has relations with the opposite sex that the Golden Thread Worm Poison enters the other person's body, and the toxicity becomes apparent.
The mind becomes unclear, the head aches unbearably—life is worse than death!
