How Do Worm Infections Spread?

[drelizabethblackburn]

Worm infections spread mainly through contact with contaminated soil, water, food, or surfaces. Poor sanitation allows parasite eggs or larvae to enter the body when people ingest unwashed produce, drink unsafe water, or touch their mouth after contact with contaminated hands. Walking barefoot on infected soil can also permit larvae to penetrate the skin. Person-to-person transmission may occur in crowded settings with inadequate hygiene. Animals can act as reservoirs, spreading parasites through feces. Preventive measures include handwashing, proper cooking, sanitation, and treatment access from a reliable mebendazole supplier to reduce community transmission.
