Worms!!!
Hookworms-
Hookworms start out as eggs in moist areas. They then turn into blood drinking vampires!:) And I'm not joking either!! 
After the egg hatches it turns into a worm. The worm sticks its upper body into the air waiting for something to step on it or touch it. When that happens they bite whatever touched them and they get into the body by munching through the skin. Once they are in the body they enter the blood stream to drink the blood! They travel through the lungs into the intestines. And drink and drink your blood. People say that 300 Hookworms drink 10% of your blood in one day! To make matters worse when they bite they the inject some anti- coagulant liquid which stops your body from clotting your bite. This causes you to bleed non-stop. So PEASE watch where you step!!:)

Tapeworms-
Tapeworms are just as bad. As crazy as it may seem they may be even worse!:0 Unlike the Hookworm they don't usually show any symptoms besides being REALLY hungry!! The reason you're so hungry is because they eat your food!! No wonder you have been so hungry lately!;) So you might have eaten a big hamburger and you're still starving! That's because they most likely ate it right after you ate it. 

Roundworms-
Round worms can cause blindness. 
They may cause: trouble breathing.
Coughing.
Weight loss.
Vomiting or nausea.

Earthworms-
FINALLY!!! A worm that doesn't drink your blood or eat you!!:) 
The earth worm does most good! They can make you soil if you feed them. How nice of them!:) They also help you recycle! 
They love recycling!;) 
Thanks for reading! I will have another post up tomorrow about how to make your own worm farm! Check it out!
Here is my drawing!:)

Oh my goodness! What a scary post!!! I'm definitely going to watch where I step. But how would you get 300 hookworms into your body, I wonder.

Coco said...

Mom, Good! I don't want you to get hookworms in you!!
Or me!!:D
Umm I think maybe if the first worm that got into your body was about to have the baby then they could just keep on growing by matting and mating?
