A member asked:
Hi there just found out my boy has worms but he is due to go swimming tomorrow can he still go ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, if he showers: before entering the pool. Pin worms are spread from human to human by hand to hand contact. Round worms are from inhalation or ingestion of eggs usually from feces contaminated soil or objects. Tapeworms usually from undercooked meat or fish.
