Pin worms: Pinworms lay their eggs around your anus. The can be transferred to anyone who touchs this area and then touches their or someone else’s mouth. Or into food. The DX is made by putting a piece of scotch tape close to your anus and then looking for eggs on the tape with a microscope. Better than stool exam.
