To prevent getting parasites, you should be aware that they can spread through contaminated food or water, person-to-person contact, or through the bite of a vector. Many creatures that healthcare providers classify as vectors feed on your blood. They generally include fleas, head lice, pubic lice, mites, and ticks. Ticks are common in wooded areas or grassy fields. Flukes can spread through contaminated water or aquatic animals, including snails, crabs, and fish. Roundworms spread from infected poop or soil. Protozoans may spread through contaminated food or water, person-to-person contact, or through the bite of a vector.

To prevent worm infections, wash your hands before eating or preparing food, and after touching soil or using the toilet. Only drink bottled or boiled water in high-risk areas, such as places without modern toilets or sewage systems. Deworm pet dogs and cats regularly. Dispose of dog and cat poo in a bin as soon as possible. Thoroughly wash garden-grown fruit and vegetables. Do not let children play in areas where there's a lot of dog or cat poo. Do not eat raw fruit and vegetables in high-risk areas. Do not walk barefoot in high-risk areas. Do not eat raw or undercooked pork, beef or freshwater fish.

Washing your hands with soap and warm water is the most important way to prevent the spread of pinworms. Wash hands often with soap and warm water, especially after using the toilet, after changing diapers, after touching people who have pinworm or after handling items they have used, and before handling food. Teach children the importance of washing their hands thoroughly and often. Avoid scratching the area around the anus and avoid biting nails. Keep fingernails clean and short. Bathe every morning and change underwear to help remove pinworm eggs deposited overnight. Have children bathe separately instead of together. Take a shower instead of a tub bath because tub water can spread pinworm. Change the affected person's clothes, washcloths, towels, and bedding often and handle those items carefully and wash them in hot water, at least 130°F. Dry them in a hot dryer.
