All good advice. It's important to consider the life-cycle of the

worm. Garlic is good - just don't give to the pets. As Butch said,

this is one case where the meds are /very safe /. Don't hesistate to

use them, and get the pets treated by a vet as well.

 

Pinworms can be picked up walking around barefooted - esp. around

horses. If the kids run around barefoot, they need to stop. It's

amazing to me that I ran around a horsefarm barefooted my whole

childhood - nary a worm.

 

Good luck to those kids!

Hi Jen

AFAIK, pinworms don't infect dogs or cats. I was referring to how the fur

of the pets can pick up the eggs and carry them around, and be a cause of

reinfection via human ingestion. <yeah, ick!> Pets can and do eat garlic,

and it is a good general dewormer for them, along with some herbs, brewers

yeast, etc., But, as I said, pets don't 'get' pinworms.
