Hookworm disease is a type of parasitic infection caused by hookworms, which are tiny worms that live in the intestines. People can get infected by walking barefoot on soil contaminated with hookworm baby worms, which can enter the skin. Symptoms of hookworm disease may include itching and a rash at the spot where the baby worms entered the skin, as well as abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue. Severe infections can lead to anemia, which is low blood count, due to blood loss. Treatment involves taking medication to kill the worms and improving nutrition to address any deficiencies caused by the infection.
