Answer:
adults can get pinworms the same way kids can. if an adult (or kid) breathes in a microscopic pinworm egg, it will travel down into the digestive system and will hatch into a larvae. The larvae will travel into the small intestine. when matured into an adult, the pinworm with travel to and through the large intestine. While sleeping, pinworms travel out through your butt and will lay eggs. This will cause the anal area to become itchy and irritated.
