Mummy: I could not sleep last night because my bum was sooooo itchy!
Intestinal worms: they are small white worms called Enterobius that live in our intestine, that long tube in which we digest our food. These little worms, which are like little white threads, form families, and the females lay eggs, like chickens and fish, but much, much smaller. In order to lay their eggs, they have to go outside, through the anus, and they move around a lot, as if they were going crazy, and they do this especially at night. And that's when bums get itchy.
