What Prevents aspiration of food into trachea?
Several protective mechanisms prevent the aspiration of food into the trachea. These include the epiglottis, which covers the trachea during swallowing, the coordination of muscle contractions in the throat to direct food into the esophagus, and the cough reflex to expel any foreign material that might enter the trachea.

Can pinworms enter the human trachea?
Pinworms (Enterobius vermicularis) typically inhabit the human intestinal tract, particularly the colon and rectum. They are not known to enter the trachea, as their lifecycle is adapted for the gastrointestinal environment. If ingested, pinworm eggs can cause infection, but they do not migrate to the respiratory system. Thus, pinworms do not enter the human trachea.
