Pinworms are the most common type of worm found in the human body. It is the most important parasite infection in America and Europe today.
Pinworms are very commonly found in children, but adults can be easily infected too.
Also known as seatworms and thead worms.
It is possible to see the adult pinworm with your eyes, but you would need a microscope to see the eggs.
How do Pinworms Enter the Body ?
Pinworms live inside the colon but exit to lay their eggs on the outside of the host’s body, around the anus. The female worm lays her eggs during nighttime, causing the host to scratch, thus transporting the eggs to infect a new person, or reinfect the host.
When the host scratches himself, the microscopic eggs get stuck underneath the fingernails and then find their way back into the human body.
Pinworms enter the body by swallowing or inhaling the eggs. The eggs are very resiliant and can live on your skin, cloths and toys for example, for up to two weeks!
Parasites ARE NOT just a Third World country problem.
Parasite eggs are microscopic and are everywhere : water, food, soil and the air we breath. Thank you for taking the time to read through some information here and learn about parasite cleanses for you and your family.
