What is Pin worm Infection?
Pin worm infection is the most common intestinal infection in primary school children. Worms are small, thin, pin-shaped worms that sometimes reside in the human gut and rectum. They are also called thread worms. They are about a quarter to half an inch long - about the size of a base. Females do their job while you sleep: They come out of the gut with your anus and lay their eggs on the surrounding skin.
Their entry into the human digestive system is in the form of eggs. When these eggs reach the first part of the small intestine, then larvae emerge from them, which germinate rapidly, and then reach the large intestine. During this journey, they have also become adults and at the end of the small intestine, their males and females mate. After mating, the males usually die here and pass out through the feces. While the body of the mating substance is filled with eggs.
You get pin worms by accidental swallowing or breathing through their eggs. You can eat or drink something unclean, you do not know it. Eggs can also live in areas such as clothing, bedding, or other objects. If you touch one of these objects and put your fingers in your mouth, you will swallow the eggs.
About a month later, the eggs hatch in your intestines and grow into adult worms. Female pin worms move to your anal area to lay their eggs. This causes anal itching. If you scratch the area, the eggs cling to your fingers and get under your nails. If you touch other surfaces or objects, you could spread the worms
The female then begins the journey ahead, and in the large intestine attaches itself to the wall of the intestine and takes food from there.
About five days after the parasite enters the human body, it is time for the egg-laden female to lay her eggs. It is estimated that the female can lay 11,000 to 16,000 eggs.
In order to lay eggs, the female starts its journey from the large intestine, and as it travels, it reaches the anus, where the female comes out of the anus, and these movements cause itching and confusion in the anus.
Upon reaching the anus, the female lays eggs on the surrounding skin, sometimes the female is killed before laying eggs and the eggs come out of her body later, or because of itching when a person itches at the site of the anus. The body of the female bursts from the nails and the eggs reach the hands, nails, toilet, clothes, bed, etc., from where they spread further.
Surprisingly, other stomach worms, including caterpillars, also avoid digestive acids and enzymes, due to the special layer on their skin that protects them.
It is important to take care of hygiene and hygiene to get rid of molds, keep your undersides clean, wash your clothes and bedding etc. There are also medicines, including drugs, that kill these insects in different ways.
