- Ascariasis is caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, a type of roundworm, and children can indeed get infected by playing in soil contaminated with human feces containing worm eggs. Treatment typically involves medication, but it's not limited to a single dose or pill; it often requires a course of medication over several days, depending on the severity of the infection and the specific medication prescribed.
