      Parasites are a big group of infectious agents. The worms are one major type. The most common way to catch them is by swalling their eggs in contaminated water or food. But others like hookworm enter through the skin. Some tiny worms are passed by insect bites. There are lots of different routes, but access to clean food and water is a major way to prevent them!
