What do ascaris lumbricoides do when exposed to anesthetics?

When exposed to anesthetics, such as halothane or isoflurane, Ascaris lumbricoides, which are parasitic roundworms, undergo a reversible relaxation of their muscles. This causes a temporary paralysis or immobilization of the worms. However, once the effect of the anesthetic wears off, the worms regain their normal mobility and activity.
