Human Body

Roundworm is transferred by ingestion. The eggs hatch and quickly penetrate the intestinal wall, where they enter the blood stream. From there, the worm enters the lungs, where it is coughed up, swallowed, and returned to the gut. Symptoms include fever, tiredness, allergic rash, vomiting, diarrhea, nerve problems, and wheezing/coughing.
