There is lots of factors limiting where worms can live.  For example: food availability, water availability, oxygen availability, compaction, temperature (frozen soil or boiling hot soil), etc

Depends how contaminated, contaminated w/ what and how much soil. \n\nMost counties have ag agents so start there and ask. Also soil testing is common for house building so call a local realtor or developer if you can't find one in the phone book.

I've never liked to eat dirt, but my doctor said the same thing about me when I was a baby.  I would be playing outside and next thing you know, I'd have an anthill in my mouth.  The soil has a lot of iron in it.  I've been anemic all my life.

Earthworms travel underground by the means of waves of muscular contractions which alternately shorten and lengthen the body. The shortened part is anchored to the surrounding soil by tiny claw-like bristles (setae) set along its segmented length. (Typically, earthworms have four pairs of setae for each segment but some genera are perichaetine, having a large number of setae on each segment.) The whole process is aided by the secretion of a slimy lubricating mucus

Hi, \n\n  Its possible. They live in your intestine and use the nutrition that you eat to live. They can cause the symptoms that you described. She did give you the right medicine to treat you. Worms are more of an occurrence that happen to small children that play outside in the dirt and put their hands in their mouth before washing them. I think you'll be fine.

yes,but its just soil. earthworms are decomposers so they release nutrients back into the soil

do you have a cat? Cats are natural carriers of ringworm, which is a fungus by the way, not a worm.\nyou can also get it in the dirt.\nFungus and bacteria are always looking for easy ways into the body. broken or abraided skin is an easy pathway.

Earthworms breathe through their skin.  When they are in a moist hole their skin has no trouble taking the oxygen out of the moist tunnel air.  When it rains the tunnels fill with water. This water has very little dissolved oxygen in it since it has no contact with the surface.  So the worms begin to choke (so to speak).  They then move to the surface where the water comes in contact with the air to replenish the oxygen they took out of it.  They die when they remain on the surface too long and dry out.

It kills the microorganisms.  It also tends to remove air from the soil making it harder for larger organism (like insect grubs and earthworms) to breathe.\nIn addition it upsets the natural chemistry or the soil.

get yourself a bio-cycle system or a worm pit. serious, they have them in oz. it's a pit of worms that processes all of the junk (food, faeces) and puts the left over clean fluid under the garden beds. the ultimate  compost heap

Yes, at least with slugs and leaches..not quite sure about worms.  Their bodies are full of moisture and the salt takes the moisture out which will kill them.  You putsalt down to melt the snow, it does the same thing to them.
