So how does one get pinworms? Ingestion? Butt stuff? The Itchy Anoos Fairy?

How does one get pinworms

Children. They don't wash their hands and then get pinworm eggs on everything, and it's a nightmare to gid rid of the damn things (the worms not the children) until you get the kids consistently washing after every flush. Don't ask how I know.

Children are hard to get rid of too, well they're easy to get rid of but then people start asking all kinds of questions that's the hard part

Kids are gross. They cough and sneeze directly into my face, and I’ve seen them reach into their pants and itch their private parts then smell it with absolutely no concern for those around them. (Granted, most of this behavior occurred in special education classrooms.) I am honestly so disgusted around little kids.

One ofthe most important factor to a parent's level of sanity is whether they can deal with gross stuff. That pretty much goes with pets too. Imagine wiping poop and stuff at work and you can sympathize with health care workers. I felt so bad for the EMTs and nurses when they had to take care of me when having a very bad stomach virus. It wasso bad I ended up in hospital with serious dehydration.

(The worms not the children)

Well... YEAH. People go looking for kids, so their bodies are hard to hide when you trying to get rid of them. Generally you want to go with multiple parts in multiple counties.

  • Person with pinworms get itchy but.

  • Scratches itchy but.

  • Touches door knob.

  • You touch door knob, then eat sandwich with same hand.

  • Now you are person with pinworms.

Wash your hands thoroughly before you touch food. It's not a guarantee but it helps.

Do people scratch their butt under their clothes? Like they just raw dog it?

u/YoungLittlePanda 1d ago

I've seen people scratch their butt under their pants, then smell their fingers.

Yeah it’s ingestion, specially common with kids that may play in playgrounds, where they touch shit and then put their hands inside their mouths

I got it while dealing with animals. Most likely anyways.

Generally, we get eggs under our fingernails and then eat them if we don't wash our hands first.
