If you have ever had the chance to go skinny-dipping in cold water with a man, you may have noticed that his testicles do raise and lower. When they come into contact with cold water (or any cold temperature) they snug up to the base of the penis. The testicles hang in a sack of fleshy skin called the scrotum.

Parasites generally live on a host causing the host a number of symptoms such as itching, allergic reactions, and discomfort.

Treatment. Roundworm infections can be successfully treated using one of a number of medicines. The three main medicines are: mebendazole ; piperazine ; albendazole ; These are described below. Mebendazole. Mebendazole is recommended for treating roundworm infections in adults and children over the age of one. It works by stopping the roundworms using glucose (sugar). Without glucose, the cells of the roundworms lose their energy supply and quickly die. A three-day course of mebendazole is usually recommended. This involves taking one tablet twice a day. Stomach pain is the most common side effect of mebendazole. Less common side effects include: skin rash ; diarrhoea flatulence (excessive wind) Piperazine. Piperazine is recommended for babies aged 3-11 months. It's available as a powder that you dissolve in water. Most children only require a single dose. Side effects of piperazine can include: 1  stomach (abdominal) pain. 2  nausea and vomiting. 3  colic (excessive, frequent crying) 4  diarrhoea.
