I doubt the worm caused the bleeding, but some dogs with large amounts of intestinal parasites can actually vomit them up from the stomach. Small spots of blood usually indicated irritation to the esophagus. I would continue to monitor Mex for any decrease in appetite or energy level, and see a vet if that occurs or if the vomiting continues.
