How to heal my fish that is infected with worms?

My uncle has bought me a plastic bag full of water fleas to feed my fries. I feed those fleas to the fries and my creamsicle molly. The next day, my molly is infected by 4 worms on its mouth, right and left fin, and its tail and I suspected those worms came from the water fleas (hiding among the fleas). Today, I've seen another worm, so it makes 5 worms attacking my moly, and then it died. I saw its condition, it's really horrible and scary, it has some bumps that looked like blisters and its body swelled to worsen its look, the swollen part looks red. As an owner, I feel ashamed, while my fish is suffering, I can't do anything, what I could do is just watch it weaken and die slowly. I want to be a responsible owner, so tell me how to heal my fish from those worms. Note: And the worm is not poop! Don't ever say it's poop, it's definitely a worm
Answer:

It's a type of parasite. There are fish medicines that you can get from pet stores to get rid of it. However, if it attaches to the gills or any other vital body part there is a low chance of survival. You will definitely want to treat the entire tank to make sure none of your other fish will be affected. Here's a site with several ways listed if you want to humanely euthanize your suffering fish http://www.ratemyfishtank.com/articles/81
