Pinworm is an intestinal infection caused by tiny parasitic worms. One of the most common roundworm infections, pinworm infections affect millions of people each year, particularly schoolchildren.

But if your child develops a pinworm infection, don't worry. Pinworms don't cause any harm (just itching), and it won't take long to get rid of them. And people who have pinworms aren't dirty — kids can get pinworms no matter how often they take a bath.

How Pinworm Infections Spread

Pinworm infections (also known as "seatworm infection," "threadworm infection," "enterobiasis," or "oxyuriasis") are contagious.

People become infected by unknowingly ingesting microscopic pinworm eggs that can be found on contaminated hands and surfaces, such as:

bed linens

towels

clothing (especially underwear and pajamas)

toilets

bathroom fixtures

food

drinking glasses

eating utensils

toys

kitchen counters

desks or lunch tables at school

sandboxes

The eggs pass into the digestive system and hatch in the small intestine. From the small intestine, pinworm larvae continue their journey to the large intestine, where they live as parasites — their heads attached to the inside wall of the bowel.

About 1 to 2 months after a person acquires the pinworm eggs, adult female pinworms begin migrating from the large intestine to the area around the rectum. There, they will lay new pinworm eggs, which trigger itching around the rectum.

When someone scratches the itchy area, microscopic pinworm eggs are transferred to their fingers. Contaminated fingers can then carry pinworm eggs to the mouth, where they are reingested, or to various surfaces, where they can live for 2 to 3 weeks.

If you're wondering if your family pet could give your child a pinworm infection, it can't. Pinworms don't come from animals.

J Factor

The spoiled does not rest until it spoils others. There was a pinworm rested in the rectum of D. It slept till it was weak and uncared. The carrier of the worm lived on the plateau where there was a little water contamination and the place was too hot in summer and too cold in winter. The environment didn’t help the worm to grow stronger. So, it slept unmoved keeping its greed suppressed.

D then trekked down to the plains and set up its hut at the outskirt of the city life under pressure. The sky, air, water were usually polluted there that was conducive to the growth of the worm. It started giving trouble in the rectum of D and started giving birth to more troublemakers that virtually made D a restless. In stead of eliminating the worm through the use of highdose medicines, D preferred to be intoxicated through wine in order to suppress the pain.

The troublemakers then came out of D and preferred to enter in new biological organs of others in the city. From the rectum the pinworm started to infect lunge and heart of the other human species. It now rests comfortably in all polluted substances in one form or other with devilish pleasure of inflicting sufferings to many. The pleasure it derives from the infected verses, stories, songs and images spread across the internet social sites. So, everybody should be careful of J-Factor in our city life.

The Sin Inherited

The amount of sin has been piled up in the corridor of power in Centre and States over the ages can not be cleared by one Monmohan Singh alone. Indian democracy runs on four wheels viz. parliament, administration, judiciary and free press. The legacy of favouritism and corruption inherited from Muslim and English rulers in India for thousand years can not be stopped by one court judgment or by a stroke of an order by any honest administrator despite his/her all pious desires.

Before passing any politically motivated comment against Dr. Singh, one should recall what a late Prime Minister Rajib Gandhi disowned a similar judgment passed by Supreme Court in Shah Banu case. Banu was the victim of Shariat law, but the Court rejected that law and offered justice to the victim by upholding the law of the land. But the then Congress with its brutal majority revoked the Shariat law and denied the rights of the Muslim women. Thus the Supreme Court judgment was thrown to the dustbin in order to appease the fanatic Muslims for winning votes.

Now one can observe the difference in administrative disposal by the current prime minister. Soon after the judgment passed by the Apex court, Dr. Singh immediately assured the countrymen to honour the judgment and asked the accused Thomas to resign from CVC. He never suggested filing a review petition to the court to be heard by a constitution bench. What does it indicate? Thomas was not his natural choice, but he was compelled to pass the appointment under pressure. Now he may find opportunity to set the house in order for the benefit of the country. Lets wait whether his high command will allow him to do so or will be asked to step down under pressure from the opposition parties and other vested interests.

Dr Sarma Hits Back

I do not agree with the example of Father, because, the father has a compulsion to remain a father, but,it is high time that this stupid father should tell the grand mother that he does not want to be father any more and to find another scape goat. Unfortunately, grand mother is unable to find a reliable goat, because, the other bearded persons might turn out like Kalmadis and might suck more and give less milk. That is perhaps the beauty of honesty.

JPC

What has been done can not be undone. It was rabbit preferred to sleep comfortably thinking that the tortoise will never be able reach the destination and the rabbit will get up and make up the gap by its speed. But it awoke and found the tortoise already reached the destination and accepted the defeat to the slow but steady animal.

Our respected Prime Minister of India is now on back foot. He had to accede to the demand for JPC after clearance from the Congress think-tank. Better late than never. In doing so, the ruling UPA accepted prima-facie the legitimacy of the demand of the opposition for Joint Parliamentary Probe against corruption in high places. The probe is expected to cover both NDA and UPA regimes and to come out with valid recommendations and directions to root out the corruption and dishonest practices by misusing executive powers.

It would, however, be disgusting if the opposition attempts to use the platform of JPC only to insult a gentleman like Dr. Monmohan Singh in order to meet its political interest leaving the major issues to include fixing of responsibility of the real culprits and thieves. The JPC should come out with the recommendations of exemplary punishments.

It is agreed if any wrong committed by any member of a family, the father can not escape moral responsibility despite his personal honesty. Yet no sensible person can award punishment to the father just because he is the head of the family. If he becomes the major focus or is crucified it would tantamount to suppress the guilt of the real culprits. I hope the parties achieved JPC will not send wrong message to the citizens of this country.

Indians are poor but INDIA is not a poor country". Says one of the Swiss bank directors. He says that "280 lac crore" of Indian money is deposited in Swiss banks which can be used for 'tax less' budget for 30 yrs. Can give 60 crore jobs to all Indians. From any village to Delhi 4 lane roads. Forever free power supply to more than 500 social projects. Every citizen can get monthly 2000/- for 60 yrs. No need of World Bank & IMF loan. Think how our money is blocked by rich and corrupt politicians. The country has full right to know he detail about the beneficiaries."

 Also few lines:
Today our prime minister Dr. Singh inspired the IAS probationaries to be honest and kind towards the poor and tribal Indians. He informed the corrupt people are depriving the poorest of the poor from their basic needs. He asked not to compromise with the corrupt people in social life and administration. Perhaps, our learned and old prime minister has forgotten that the snakes should not be trusted, they bite even to the charmers. He should have considered to wind up those service cadres and replace them with technocrats to head the ministries, departments and statutory bodies in order to bring transparency and deliver desired results. The proposed changes in the system may bring positive changes to minimise corruption.

  

                                                                                                

Reactions

Dr Sarma reacts:

I wish Dr Singh read your note 5 years back, because, once he is in a trap, it is difficult, nay impossible, for him to take himself out from the Gang of gangsters.

Dr Singh is always given credit for rejuvenating Indian economy as the Finance Minister in the ninetees, but, I always thought that it was Narasimha Rao's idea. Rao was a learned person as he knew so many languages. He had the wisdom and used Dr Singh to fulfil his good wisdom as someone is now using him for her evil designed wisdom. If Dr Singh had any wisdom, he would not have accepted the PM's post at all.
