What Is Pinworm Infection?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
There are many different types of parasites in the world. We tend to associate them with other animals but there are parasites that can infect humans as well. Thankfully for us, however, they are often quite harmless and also fairly easy to treat.
One such example of a parasite is pinworm. These are small parasites that live in our colon or rectum and they will not usually do us much harm. They are quite infectious, however, and they can cause some unwelcome symptoms for some people. They are easy to treat, however, and they will usually pass having done no permanent damage.
