My grdaughter has pinworms says the dr - and she is 6 yrs old ... any ideas? Well, if the little girl has them, chances are - maybe - the rest of the people in the house need to be treated. Ahem. Are they all scratching their asses? Cats and dogs can be hosts to the eggs, transferring them around the house. The itching comes when the female pinworm ventures outside the rectum to lay its eggs on the anus area. You can see them around the anus at night before bed, and upon waking in the morning. Mama can use a flashlight to check for the eggs --they look like little white specks. Clothes need to be boiled, bedlinens, upholstery cleaned, floors vacuumed. AT a minimum, hot washer cycle. Don't forget to disinfect the bathroom, including the tub/shower area. Prevention is the best cure. Vigilence is needed to make sure the cycle is broken. Wash hands, especially under the nails, before preparing food, as the eggs can be transferred that way. Treatment? Couldn't be easier: eat lots of raw garlic, and raw grated carrots. Age old herbalist remedy, and it works. Additionally, stores like Whole Foods probably carry packaged herbal pinworm remedies, but they're probably no more effective than garlic and carrots.
