can hookworms enter through your skin
If you drink infected water or eat infected meat, the hookworm larvae travel from your mouth to your small intestine. If hookworm larvae enter your body through your skin, they travel though the bloodstream to the lungs. The lungs and bronchial passages provide the perfect route to the throat. When the worms crawl into the throat, the person or animal swallows to clear the throat, which sends the worms into the digestive system.
