Pin worms are not in a particular location. They are a parasite that is transmitted from not washing your hands after you go to the bathroom. Children are really susceptible to this because they are still learning the importance of hand hygiene after they use the toilet. After using the toilet and hands are not cleaned, fingers get put in the mouth, thus introducing the digestive tract to the infestation. Pin worms also cause annoying itching at the anus, thus causing a person to scratch. This is especially bad at night. The process is repeated by the eggs getting under the fingernails after scratching and transferred to the mouth. Pin worms are not necessarily dangerous, but they are an irritating condition and can be transferred to others very easily. Anything the infected person touches, sheets, toys, etc. are contaminated. Medicine from your doctor has to be prescribed to rid the body of the parasitic infestation.
