Threadworm eggs are usually passed directly from person to person, but they can live on toys and other objects and surfaces for up to 2 weeks. If you scratch the skin around your anus and don’t wash your hands, the eggs on your hands can get back into your mouth, repeating the cycle. The worms usually come out to lay their eggs at night, which makes the anal area itchy. The worms then move to the anus (back passage, bottom) to lay their eggs. They swallow the eggs, which travel to the lower intestine where they grow into worms. People, usually children, get infected with threadworms by getting threadworm eggs on their hands and then putting their hands in their mouths. Threadworm is not usually harmful, but it can be very uncomfortable. There are different types of worms that can infect people. Often people call a threadworm infection ‘worms’. Threadworms, also called pinworms, are tiny parasites that grow to about 1cm in length and look like tiny pieces of white thread.
