I have forgotten the name of this type of worm that kids (usualy) tend to get:
Symptoms include the scratching of the bum (usualy at night - whilst the eggs are being layed), the worms are short and found in feces.
I cant find it online... I dont think i am talking about ribbon or tape worms but i could be wrong...
Thanks!

If you look for Thread Worms you will have more success.

Roundworms, probably. Tapeworms are super-long but break off in sections (and each section actually HAS SEX WITH ITSELF to reproduce! The section has tiny little reproductive parts and it folds itself up to have SEX with itself! Isn't that freaky?!?)
There are also hookworms, whipworms, and ringworm (not a worm--a fungal infection. But it has worm in the name.)
Apparently, it's an easy worm to get rid of--just an oral med to eradicate it. Nasty, but common.

Sounds like Pinworms. Common signs of Pinworms are itching around the anus, disturbed sleep, irritability, loss of appetite and restlessness.

What do you want to know though how to rid them or what are they called and maybe people could tell you how kids get these things

In my book Veterinary notes, dog owners. The common form dog + human infection, `Ctenocephalides felis + canis`.

The worms are the hook worms that come from raw fish. Nostoc or protococus that comes from feces as well as the tapeworms
