pinworms and other stomach worms

One of my children had worms twice when she was little. I was very much worried, but the doctor told me it was normal, specially for children who were too fond of animals. I can take care of my animals and deparasite them, but I cannot do that with other people`s dogs. I gave her the meds and then teached her to wash her hands more often and fondle animals less. The only way to acquire worms is through unclean hands or food.

I've never had any warms. I've had ring worm which isn't really a worm at all just the same of the skin rash. A lot of people get them because food isn't cooked or cleaned the correct way where there are worms in the food which then get into your stomach. Some times in unclean water that you get or buy.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well this is a common problem among children and adult these days and i can very well say that it is due to the fast foods available. The fast foods are no doubt tasty but they are not hygienic and healthy for our body and may be that is the reason it causes stomach worms in us. Besides several oily and spicy food are also the possible causes for this. What say?
