The role of produce and hands in STH transmission is not well understood. We collected and processed mother hand rinse and garden-grown produce rinse samples from 116 rural households in Kakamega, Kenya, in an area previously identified to have high STH egg contamination in household soil. <jats:italic>Ascaris<\/jats:italic> was the only STH species detected; 0.9% of hand rinse, 3.5% of leafy produce, and 1.8% of root produce samples had <jats:italic>Ascaris<\/jats:italic> eggs. Our results indicate produce and hands can carry <jats:italic>Ascaris<\/jats:italic> eggs. However, due to the low detected prevalence of eggs on hands and produce, and a high prevalence of cooking the produce items tested, these pathways might have a minor contribution to STH exposure in this setting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.17-0072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,8]],"date-time":"2017-08-08T07:00:21Z","timestamp":1502175621000},"page":"1616-1618","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Following
