Things to ponder: Pin worms are an only human parasite. You can only get them if you consume the eggs which hatch in your gut.Symptoms occur when you develop itching from a skin reaction to the gel the eggs are laid in at your anus.Eggs can be in kids bedding/clothing & contaminate your fingers which carry them to the mouth. Anal itching can also be caused by yeast, germs, reaction to soaps and many other things.
