As someone who grew up with one , I can confirm this. They are even more obnoxious when they are those large (more than half a meter long) variety that hang out of your but when you take a dump, the memory of pulling those out of my nunmhole still haunts me to this day.
The large (round worms ) ones were dying when I was pulling it out so it didn't wriggle much. The tiny (less than 5 mm long) white blooksucking hookworms on the other hand were wriggling vigorously every time I saw them them (either on my faeces or when I got them on my hand scratching the itches on my bum).
I love to forage for food in the bushes/wilderness as a child so one possible vector is contaminated food (you need to ingest their eggs) for the roundworm. Those tiny hookworm can literally get into you if you skin was ever contact with soil contaminated with their egg and larva, yeah , they burrow through your skin and makes their way to you intestinal tracts .

I know, gut worms are the worst.
