http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinworm It lives in your buuuuuuuutt! quote:The Enterobius pinworm has a worldwide distribution,[14] and is the most common helminth (i.e., parasitic worm) infection in the United States, western Europe, and Oceania.[15][16] In the United States, a study by the Center of Disease Control reported an overall incidence rate of 11.4% among people of all ages.[16] Pinworms are particularly common in children, with prevalence rates in this age group having been reported as high as 61% in India, 50% in England, 39% in Thailand, 37% in Sweden, and 29% in Denmark.[16] Finger sucking has been shown to increase both incidence and relapse rates,[16] and nail biting has been similarly associated.[17] Because it spreads from host to host through contamination, pinworms are common among people living in close contact, and tends to occur in all people within a household.[14] The prevalence of pinworms is not associated with gender,[14] nor with any particular social class, race, or culture.[16] Pinworms are an exception to the tenet that intestinal parasites are uncommon in affluent communities.[16] quote:They emerge from the anus, and while moving on the skin near the anus, the female pinworms deposit eggs either through (1) contracting and expelling the eggs, (2) dying and then disintegrating, or (3) bodily rupture due to the host scratching the worm.[19] Don't scratch your butt; you'll lay eggs.
