You get this by touching or eating a plant that has been fertilized with fecal matter that had it in it. One can also be exposed when cleaning bathrooms so remember wear your gloves!
The path is interesting though as it enters the skin then blood stream finding the small intestine where it set up house and lays the next round of eggs.
It is why human fecal matter in many countries is banned from being used as a fertilizer unless sterilized first. Basically that means cook the worms and eggs to kill them.
Keep in mind we get these from our pets as well so wash well after changing the cat litter. Now you know why they put up signs no dogs on beach please. It is common to get then that way the warm wet sand keep them alive and well longer.
Patte anyone . It is a very good reason to cook you meat. Keep in mind today Canadian and American meat standards are much better and the odds of this is greatly decreased from times when medicines were not just automatically given to all of ones stock. pork was the worst as they will eat anything.
