Age variable has nothing to do with worm disease (ρ 0.740) which means bigger than value α 0,05. It can be concluded that as many as 68 respondents obtained results (54.4%) scavengers positive worms, (45.6%) scavengers are negative worms. the factors that cause worms are education, knowledge, use of personal protective equipment, personal hygiene, worm medicine, unavailability of latrines, and no clean water facilities that support.
