Ascaris lumbricoides infection occurs through:

1. sole of uncovered feet
2. contaminated cooked measly pork
3. improperly cooked measly pork
4. from air through inhalation

Correct answer: contaminated cooked measly pork

Solution

The correct choice is the pork-related route because this parasite is acquired by eating infected meat containing larval cysts. Skin contact and inhalation are not the usual transmission pathways here.
