The most common kind of worm that people can get living inside them is called the "Threadworm". They are small little white coloured worms that are about as long as your fingernail. They can sometimes be called "Pinworm", but their real name is "Enterobius Vermicularis". That's a long name for such a small thing!

Some bacteria are good. Cheese and yoghurt are made using bacteria. Some bacteria are bad. Bacteria are tiny little living things, so small that you cannot see them. Bacteria love to live in poo!
When you go to the toilet, you may think that your hands look clean. But they are probably covered in lots of nasty bacteria from your poo. You need to wash your hands to get rid of the nasties that you can't see.

Question: When is a stool, not a stool?
Answer: When its a poo!
Doctors call poo, a stool. That's right. A stool. But this kind of stool is not comfortable to sit on. You may have noticed that poo is often different shapes and sizes. Doctors have created a chart to describe these different poos. It is called the Bristol Stool Scale.
