A member asked:
Is it possible for me to take my child swimming with threadworms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Your kid will probably enjoy the activity. There is negligible risk that the eggs from the threadworms would make it into the wading pool or pool and pass to others, but this is not a recognized method of transfer.

A member asked:
If I thought i saw a threadworm in poop,would it pull out easily with a tweezer or would it just break apart? Would there be only one or 2 or would there be more? Could you get these worms if no one left home for several months? No kids/pets in home?
