What Causes Pinworms In Humans

Severe cases of roundworm infestation can result in small intestine obstructions and fatalities. Most patients who die due to roundworm triggered ascariasis are children. • Tapeworms: Tapeworms can be as large as 20 feet long. They have suckers and hooks which they use to latch onto the bowel walls. The parasite may spread via intake of undercooked or raw pork, sausages, and/or tenderloin; or its eggs may enter the stomach via intake of contaminated water. Eggs then hatch into larvae which are then set free from their protective covering by the action of stomach acid. The freed larvae remain unaffected by stomach acid, grow into adult tapeworms, and migrate to the blood and the muscles.
