Some Facts About Pinworms

Pinworms were called so because of its white pin-liked appearance, with a tail that is sharply pointed. Pinworm or seatworm are the common names of Enterobius vermicularis. They are one of the most annoying parasites of human body. This parasite is more common in temperate and cold countries than in warm and tropical areas. Children are more common to parasite from pinworm that has big chance to spread to the whole family in a short period of time. Pinworms or seatworms lay their eggs , hundreds of eggs, in the anal portion of the infected person. It is when the pinworms lay eggs, the host (infected person) feels a very itchy sensation in the anus.

There are lot of ways a pinworm or seatworm could be transmitted. Transmission can be from anus to mouth (oral-fecal route). It is when the infected person touches his anus then without cleaning his hands he touches garments, other things or eat using his bare hands that is infected with pinworm. Having close contact with an infected person could also cause transmission. And the worst thing is it can be transmitted by airborne transmission! Pinworms could also reinfect same host, this is called retroinfection. It is when a pinworm larva migrate back to the intestine and become mature worms there.

Pinworm does not just cause itchiness but could cause anemia, ulceration on the mucosa, hemorrhage, abcess formation and erosion of nerve endings of the intestine, so scary right? If someone of your family feels an itchiness on his anus (usually during sleeping time), talk to your doctor immediately. Laboratory tests called anal swab technique and the usual stool analysis detects and confirm if one is infected with pinworm or seatworm. To prevent from pinworm or seatworm infection, make it a habit to practice personal hygiene at all times.

Sources of Food Poisoning

Nowadays, people become more aware that food poisoning could take place in any food. Eggs, poultry, shellfish, and unpasteurized dairy products are the most common source of food poisoning. But, contamination of plant foods from food poisoning bacteria takes place when vegetables, legumes or nuts are grown closely to the ground, especially when farmers uses manure as fertilizer. Food handling is another issue. Food from farm are free from  food poisoning agent but the one that sells the unsealed food products in the market or the person that processed the product or the one that cooks your meal harbors the harmful microorganism and has poor hygiene, possibility of transmission from the food handler to the food products is possible.

If animals are ill, usually they were given  antibiotics, giving antibiotics without following the minimum number of days to  give the antibiotics to the animals may lead to resistance of bacteria to the said antibiotic. When these infected animals (with antibiotic resistant bacteria) were utilized as meat or their products such as eggs or their manure are utilized in the farm as fertilizer, infection of antibiotic resistant food poisoning bacteria to human will be a big problem. The problem of antibiotic resistance food poisoning  bacteria is not the main issue, but the difficulty in treatment of such strain may occur.

Another possible source for food poisoning are foods that has been improperly processed or stored are the ideal habitat for growth of bacteria and fungal elements (in the laboratory, it is equivalent to a culture media – it is where we let the bacteria and fungal elements multiply from thousands into hundred thousands or more). So, be careful in processing and storing your food at home. Most of the microorganisms  if it multiplies, usually causes spoilage of food, others may just give light discomfort to those have consumed the food but some of this bacteria are dangerous, especially those that contains toxins (poisons).

Contaminated water and utensils are good source of possible infection. In this case usually the food handler harbors the harmful microorganism then he practice no proper hygiene. Including the right cleaning of utensils used due to limited amount of water to use by the time he is selling his food products. Good example for this are the street foods. I am not condemning  street food vendors here. We just need to face the fact that lots of people have been hospitalized from eating contaminated street foods.

Remember this, cooking could kill viruses, bacteria and fungal elements present on the food but it is not an assurance that the toxins present are destroyed, toxins in bacteria  that could create variety of problems in the body.
