Causes of Worm Infestation

Results from ingesting worm eggs through contaminated food, water, or soil, or from larvae penetrating the skin, most commonly the feet, when walking barefoot on contaminated ground. Risk factors include poor sanitation and hygiene, lack of access to clean water, crowded living conditions, and eating unwashed produce grown in contaminated soil. Poor handwashing practices, particularly after using the toilet or before eating, facilitate the spread between individuals, especially among young children.
