Your child will not get intestinal worms by eating too much sugar. But if your child has intestinal worms then sugar cravings are a common symptom.
Sugar cravings can occur for a number of reasons:
1)       Parasite and worm infestation
2)       Emotional reasons
3)       Addictive behavior
4)       Insulin resistance or damage to pancreas which affects insulin regulation
5)       Vitamin deficiency especially vitamin C

If your child has sugar cravings, then identify the exact cause and treat it accordingly.


But to answer your question, eating too much sugar will not give you intestinal worms. It is a myth.
