Headlice seems like the big parasite here.

It's true they're not particularly common here, but if you tell your doctor that your toddler won't stop scratching his ass, they will suggest the possibility of pinworms. The test is to check your kid's butt at night--they say you can see the worms crawling around on the outside since they come out at night--or to put a piece of tape across their butthole, and supposedly some worms/eggs will be stuck to it in the morning. Can't say for sure, though, since it turned out that's not why my kid was itching.

How do the worms know when it's night if they are where the sun don't shine?
Just curious.

That's a very good question. That's the kind of question that would come from a curious child. Something that an adult would just take for granted and not bother wondering about. I'm impressed, and a little envious (not jealous) that I didn't think of that question.

I'm going to hypothesize that the bowels are less active at night, and so they know that it's night time because nothing is moving.

I'll follow up with a question. How do they know which way is out?

I bet they go with the current, rather than upstream. (peristalsis)

Here you are.

Sorry if you opened it at work.
You can pretend it's a bellybutton. Or the Pit of Sarlacc. Or something other than a threadworm ringpiece.

Oops, gave it away.
