Pinworms are spread when an infected person, most often a child, has scratched his/her bare anal area and the eggs get under his/her fingernails. Pinworms can then be spread in the following ways:

By an infected child not washing hands after using the bathroom. If the child then touches playmates or toys, he/she may pass on the eggs.

Pinworm eggs can also be transferred to the fingers from clothing or bedding, and then spread around the home.

Eggs may be inhaled from the air or deposited onto food and swallowed.

Pinworms can survive up to two weeks on clothing, bedding or other objects, if kept at room temperature.

Wash your hands with warm water and soap after using the toilet. Be especially careful after bowel movements and changing diapers. Do the same before preparing food and eating. This is the best mode of prevention.

Keep your fingernails short and clean.

Discourage habits that could spread pinworm eggs, such as nail biting or scratching.

Shower daily in the morning to remove pinworm eggs that may have been deposited overnight.

Change your underwear and clothing daily.

Use hot water in the washing machine and hot air in the dryer when laundering bedding, clothing, and towels that may contain pinworm eggs.

Keep rooms well-lit during the day because the eggs are sensitive to sunlight.

Enterobius Vermicularis, also known as pinworm, is a parasitic worm.  The medical condition associated with pinworm infestation is known as pinworm infection. A pinworm infection is one of the most common types of human intestinal worm infections. Pinworms are tiny, narrow worms. They’re white in color and less than a half-inch long. Pinworm infections can spread easily. They’re most common in children between the ages of 5 and 10, people who live in institutions, and those who have regular, close contact with individuals in these groups.
