The Pinworm



                            The pinworms genus is Entorobius.  The pinworm is a parasitic infection found in many places.  This infection is mostly found in kids.  You can get this infection by touching beds,tables, things at school, and at the park.  This happens by when the eggs or larva on the object you touch is transferred into your small intestine which then travel to the large intestine where they travel from there to your small intestine to your rectum where they plant themselves. It takes a month or two before itching in the rectum begins.  After you itch the rectum the pinworm eggs sometimes can be transfered back into the mouth which from there can travel to anywhere in the body.  There is medicine for this.
