Do pinworms cause warts?

No: Pinworms are a problem most often seen in kids, involving a threadlike worm that lives in the large intestines. The female crawls out the anus to lay eggs in a sticky glue that often causes rectal itching.The eggs are cast off into bed linnen & may be ingested, moving on to a new home. There is no link between pinworms and warts, although someone with anal warts may scratch like they have them.
