When that soil comes in contact with with the skin, it is easily transferred to the face, mouth, and nose. This causes the inhalation of the Ascaris egg. 

At this point the Ascaris egg will mature inside the respiratory tract inside the lungs until it causes a sever cough. The egg will then be coughed and swallowed entering into the gastrointestinal tract. The Ascaris will then make its home in the small intestine until medical measures are taken. ]]> 2020-11-26 21:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/acweeks349/ftopugwfy6oywggb/wish/964366289 acweeks349 https://padlet.com/acweeks349/ftopugwfy6oywggb/wish/965386084 This helminth is most common in tropical and subtropical areas found most concentrated in the areas below. ]]> 2020-11-27 10:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/acweeks349/ftopugwfy6oywggb/wish/965386084 acweeks349 https://padlet.com/acweeks349/ftopugwfy6oywggb/wish/965389223 Ascaris is primarily transmitter through contact with soil that contains feces.
