Ascaris eggs can easily enter children's bodies through dirty hands, contaminated food and water. Therefore, to prevent children from getting ascaris, you must pay attention to their hygiene. Be sure to clean your hands before eating and after urinating and defecating, wash fruits before eating, and children with ascaris should be dewormed as soon as possible.
