Rob – A lot of kids get worms from playing in dirt or sand. My godson at one of London’s toniest schools had them. Humans get a different kind from kittens & the worms aren’t transmissable between the species.
etson- I do agree with you _ I think my brain is still addled from our dancing! 🙂 But yes- you’re right. One reason why I so strongly believe that keeping religion out of politics, and the separation of church and state is the only way we will survive ourselves.
Pinworms are spread when an infected person, most often a child, has scratched his/her bare anal area and the eggs get under his/her fingernails. Pinworms can then be spread in the following ways:
By an infected child not washing hands after using the bathroom. If the child then touches playmates or play toys, he/she may pass on the eggs.
Pinworm eggs can also be transferred to the fingers from clothing or bedding, and then spread around the home.
Eggs may be inhaled from the air or deposited onto food and swallowed.
Pinworms can survive up to two weeks on clothing, bedding or other objects, if kept at room temperature.
The eggs may hatch while still attached to the skin around the anus. They then move through the rectum to the lower intestine, where they grow to adult size within two to six weeks. Pinworm infections can be spread as long as either worms or eggs are present.
won ton- great article! I think we’re all agreed you’re a fascinating (and fun!) person. If I were going for my anthro doctorate now I would so want to do my thesis on you! 🙂
Add my amens to Arkady’s. Benson- MM is right about the general run of Fundamentalist Christianity today. From wanting to deny rights to gays, to obstructing women’s right to birth control and the right to make decisions about their own bodies, to trying to impose Christianity on our system of government- Montrose put it bluntly and accurately. And I’d like to say her comments apply to any religious fundamentalist- Christian, Jew or Muslim.
