moggies.co.uk

A large white worm that lives for six months to three years in the human intestine, with the female laying a quarter of a million eggs a day. Eggs find their way into the mouths of others, hatch to form larvae, and migrate through the body causing allergy-type reactions before settling down for good in the intestines. They occur worldwide, but they are most common in tropical and subtropical countries. Roundworms are primitive worms of variable size that may be free living or parasitic, and are of the class Nematoda. They can be both parasitic and free living with muscles running the length of their bodies.
