It varies by each type of worm. Some can enter the body through the skin or open wounds. Some are ingested in either food or water. It all depends on what type of worm you are talking about.

Uncooked meats is a major source - the worms lay eggs in living animals, and, if not cooked properly, enter into our bodies until they are too big and have to leave. This is why cooking your food properly is REALLY important. I believe that some can burrow through your skin (not 100% sure on this though)

Human body? Primarily, they are in the food we eat. This is why food preparation is so important. There are also worms that burrow through the skin.

They slither thru any of the open orifices.

Recently I heard about this kid who went swimming in this pond in florida and got an amoeba thru his nasal passages. This amoeba attacked his brain and he soon died like a day later.

That was some crazy stuff.

Through ingesting contaminated food and water, through swimming or bathing in contaminated water, or through contact with contaminated materials, whereby the parasites can enter through the skin.

Usually thru the mouth as microscopic eggs, then they hatch and wreak their havoc.
