Ascariasis is infection by a roundworm. The worms live in the small intestine and worm eggs are passed through the stool. Eating food grown in contaminated soil or putting your fingers in your mouth after touching infected dirt can spread the parasite. Ascaris can grow as long as 8-10 inches. Medications can kill the worms. However some people do not respond to worm killing medications
Homeopathic medicines can help in killing the worms as well as removing the tendency too
