How does a roundworm enter a person's body?

Roundworm eggs live in soil that is contaminated by feces. The eggs can get into the body through the mouth. The infection can then spread from person to person via infected feces. Symptoms may include worms in a bowel movement or coming from the nose or mouth, vomiting, and stomach pain.

How does a worm get under your skin?

Ingestion of contaminated water causes the larvae to migrate from the intestines via the abdominal cavity to the tissue under the skin. The larvae mature and release a toxic substance that makes the overlying skin ulcerate. After treatment, symptoms disappear and the worms can be safely removed from the skin.
