Ascaris is a type of parasitic worm known as the Giant intestinal roundworm. This type of parasite infects human living in areas with poor sanitation. Roundworm is the most common type of human parasites worldwide, and its infection is named Ascariasis.
Roundworms live in the small intestines. The females can grow up to 40cm in length, weighing 9g and produce over 200,000 eggs everyday!
When Roundworm eggs are ingested, they will hatch in the intestines and burrow through the intestine walls. After that, they make their way to the heart, the lungs and finally break out into the alveoli as shown in the diagram below.
If large amounts of roundworms accumulate in the body, it will result in the blockage of intestinal tracts. At this stage, patients will feel intense abdominal pain. To examine if a person is infected with roundworm, stool sample can be send to examine and suspected cases can undergo an abdominal X-ray. In some cases where the blockage of intestine is too severe, surgery is required to get rid of the worms.

I just looked up round worm because our new puppy had them and the vet gave us medicine to give her. She is only 9 weeks old and we just got her a few days ago. I just looked at these pictures and "OH MY GOD I NEED TO THROW UP"!!! This is NASTY!! People wash your hands and use good sense when cleaning up after yourself. If these pictures don't make you wash your hands.... Nothing will!!

ReplyDeletewell to everyone who has young kids dont let them near other peoples dogs or cats as my daughter is two years old and she is now being treated for this great insnt it all you loverly pet owners!. I wash and care for both my children but it only takes a second for a child to put there hand in there mouth thats all it takes.
ReplyDeleteThe eggs (that's how you get infected) come from the poop -- not out of the mouth. So, a child playing in the yard (or in a disgusting house) and gets his hands in the poop and then puts fingers in mouth. That's how they get infected.

ReplyDeleteyou should see what its like when one comes out of your ass in a dump .... its fucking terrible. i lived in SE Aisa for a couple years in Monasteries and travelling which is where i presumably contracted this animal. ive tried treating it several times to no avail. it sucks !
ReplyDeleteAhh tried treating it to no avail... Go to the hospital and keep getting doses of anti parasite drugs until the worms and eggs are killed.

ReplyDeleteIvermectin 1 cc. per 100 lbs treats round worms and all other worms. 1/ 10 of a cc. per 10 lbs. Also treats mange,heart worms, and all other worms.Do not treat without a vetrinarian consultaion. Ivermectin is toxic to some species of canines such as collies.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, ewie ewiee, that is DISGUSTING :((
ReplyDeleteThis is why you WASH your hands!! I literally screamed, passed out, screamed again, then ran away from the picture with the unfortunate child's bum leaking WORMS and the boy with the frickin' things poking out of his mouth and nose!! d'x
I wish I could eliminate these freaking icky creatures, and no one will suffer!! ...
No worries, having roundworms is definitely CURABLE, depending on the severity, it can be treated with oral medications.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most sickest thing I've ever seen in my life!!!I felt sick to stomach .Almost hurled,made all 3 my kids wash their twice man.I still feel sick,I looked up round worms.Because of news about,Hunchback King Richard III.They've recently found his body,underneath a parking lot somewhere in London.They said ,they found evidence of him being infected with round worms.I figure hey let's Google it,wasn't expecting this gruesome ish.
ReplyDeleteThe one with the worms coming out of the butt is a dead person -- a cadaver. He/she has no doubt been cut open in the front, the poop has been all cleaned out and the pathologist has pushed the worms through the intestines and out the butt.
ReplyDeleteummm ahhhh I just looked up parasites and this is the first thing I saw and im... DIGUSTED who does this. well why did I look this up.
