My cat was pooping worms when we first rescued her. It didn't seem to bother her much but it grossed me out when I cleaned her litter box the first time

I'm sure someone on this site has at least had entrobus vermicularis aka PINWORMS.

Quote :

"The pinworm has a worldwide distribution,[18] and is the most common helminth (i.e., parasitic worm) infection in the United States and Western Europe.[10] 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.[10] 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.[10] Finger sucking has been shown to increase both incidence and relapse rates,[10] and nail biting has been similarly associated.[19] 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.[18] The prevalence of pinworms is not associated with gender,[18] nor with any particular social class, race, or culture.[10] Pinworms are an exception to the tenet that intestinal parasites are uncommon in affluent communities.[10] The earliest known instance of pinworms is evidenced by pinworm eggs found in coprolite, carbon dated to 7837 BC at western Utah.[8]"

Regardless of the last bolded sentence, I am still quite shocked at the much higher level of infection among children in the UK than in Thailand.

I vaguely remember while I was in Thailand hearing that it's a taboo to stick your fingers in your mouth which could explain why it's higher in England.

pretty sure in Thailand they also bathe in disgusting water.

The water seemed alright in most of Thailand. Cambodia was another story
