    		"Ascaris lumbricoides (ASS-car-iss or ass-CAR-iss lum-brick-OI-dees) is the largest nematode by mass which infects humans. Females of this species can grow to 40cm long and be as thick as a pencil. When alive, the worms are a pale pink colour with a bright red "speed stripe" down each side of their bodies."
