There are a few different types of worms (parasites ) that can come about in children, I have found over the years there seems to be a predisposition in some children that attract worms more than others.
The common childhood parasite is the threadworm (pinworm) and this can quickly become a problem if not treated.
Other parasitic worms include hookworm, tapeworm and roundworm.
Threadworm symptoms
The common itching of the bottom
Disturbed sleep
Moodiness and Grumpy
Can be easy to pass on as egg come out and onto sheets and place where the child has sat.
Make sure you wash everything in high heat.

mostly in warm tropical climates and can be quite serious as the worm hooks itself into the intestine and draws out blood.
Body becomes anaemic
Fever
Diarrhoea and constipation

Stomach pain
Diarrhoea
Weight loss
Weakness
