Ascaris lumbricoides (Pinworm) is one of the Nine Worms. Its shape is very small, resembling the current "wo worm" (a colloquial term for small worms). It arises due to the weakness of the Fu and Zang organs. In severe cases, it can lead to hemorrhoids, scabies, tinea, leprosy-like sores, various ulcers, dental caries, and other skin diseases. This is caused by extreme internal deficiency-heat transforming into pinworms. Pinworms are active and cause various disturbances.
