Ascariasis is an infection of the  small intestine caused by Ascaris lumbricoides (A. lumbricoides), which is a species of roundworm.

You can become infected with ascariasis after accidentally ingesting the eggs of the A. lumbricoides roundworm. The eggs can be found in soil contaminated by human feces or uncooked food contaminated by soil that contains roundworm eggs. Children often become infected when they put their hands in their mouths after playing in contaminated soil, according to WHO. Ascariasis can also be passed directly from person-to-person.

After ingestion, the A. lumbricoidesroundworm reproduces inside your intestine. The worm goes through several stages:

Swallowed eggs first hatch in the intestine.The larvae then move through your bloodstream to your lungs.After maturing, the roundworms leave your lungs and travel to your throat.
