குழந்தைகளைத் தாக்கும் வயிற்றுப் புழுக்கள்/Intestinal worms

Children are particularly susceptible to intestinal worms. Older adults are also at increased risk 

due to weakened immune systems.

Intestinal worms, also known as parasitic worms, are one of the main types of intestinal parasites.

Common types of intestinal worms include:

Tapeworms 

Roundworms

Pinworm 

Hookworm 



Causes

One way to become infected with intestinal worms is eating undercooked meat from an infected animal, 

such as a cow, pig, or fish. Other possible causes leading to intestinal worm infection include:



consumption of contaminated water

consumption of contaminated soil

contact with contaminated feces

poor sanitation

poor hygiene

Roundworms are typically transmitted through contact with contaminated soil and feces.



Once you’ve consumed the contaminated substance, the parasite travels into your intestine. 

Then they reproduce and grow in the intestine.
