Since they are in the phylum Nematoda, hookworms have a psuedocoelom that they use for digesting food. -Hookworm eggs gain nutrients via the feces of the host that it has inhabited. -In the larval stage, hookworms are free-living in the soil.

When you come into contact with this infested soil, the larvae can burrow into your skin. They cause an intense inflammatory response that leads to a rash and severe itching.
