Which ones? The enterobius?
You don't have to go to the doctors if you get them. At least here, all you have to do is go to an apothecary and buy some pills. You take one and they die. Then you take another one some weeks later. It's a standard worm cure against a range of parasites.
They are very common, especially in children and whole families with little children. We call them "children worms" here (barnemark). They spread through dirty hands, contaminated water or - if your infected ass itches and you scratch yourself and those hands end up near yours or someone else face .. This can happen even if you're not aware of it. You could scratch your bum during the night while you sleep! Still, you have to realize that your body is already a host to all sorts of organisms. If you have those worms and they're not a nuisance, then I don't think I would recommend treatment.
I'm way more grossed out by the possibility of getting tapeworms that way because the consequences are so much worse, but I included the enterobius basically because they are so common that if you don't have them and lick someone's butt, then you are putting yourself at real risk of getting them. They're just a nuisance though and getting rid of them is easy peasy.
