How Do People Get Roundworms?

Roundworm is a kind of parasite in the stomach. It lives on the nutrients in the intestines. Normally people do not have roundworms in their stomachs. Only when someone eats some roundworm eggs together with vegetables, fruits or impure water, do the eggs become roundworms. The roundworms ovulate and grow constantly. New eggs are excreted again together with bowel movements. They would mix with soil and water, or stick to vegetables and fruits. If people eat unclean fruits, melons and vegetables without washing their hands before eating, the

roundworm eggs may go into the stomach through the mouth. The eggs will grow in the stomach. That is why some people have roundworms in their stomaches.
