What is a pin worm? I have never heard of them until now!?

Pin worms are a type type of parasite that live in ths digestive system of humans, they are common threw out the world. Mostly effecting children but can also effect adults as well.Adults worms look like white threads. Swallowing the eggs cause someone to get this, this is from scratching the anus and gets eggs under the nails and touches something and leaves the eggs/egg on a surface and someone else picks this up by touching the surface.Then when fingers enter the mouth egg goes to stomach travels to anus, Takes about 2-3 months maybe longer for eggs to become worms.The female crawls out of the body at night to lay the eggs with her movements the itch begins and eggs are picked up then by fingers and nails again.This will spread fast if not caught right aways, amonge the family members (all). also in day cares,schools,camps any where alot of kids are gathered together and sleep and play.Some people will have no signs till this is out of control others will have the itch around the rear.This is Not a disease or serious promblem.When frist contact this ist hard to know till worms come around this may take from 1-? months.Have to waite for symptoms to treat.Your doctor will be able to tell with a tape test from home.There are OTC treatments and prescriptions for this and if happen to get anyone in the family the entire family Must be treated.

No the school will not ck for this I do belive children who do get this they have to stay home from school till thet are free of this and treatment is complete. You don't hear of this often you will more likely have to deal with head lice than this.

Pin worms have been around forever and children often get them. They are an intestinal parasite. Often at night the adult worms come out to lay their eggs around the anus which causes intense itching. The child scratches, later eats or puts the fingers in the mouth and the eggs are ingested starting the cycle again. Obviously this can affect adults in the same fashion. Oral medication, carefully cleaning clothes and linens and hand washing will solve the problem and no they aren't routinely checked for at school.

My son were given them a pair of years in the past. actually I hadn't heard of them until eventually he were given them. the actually computer virus I knew of that human beings ought to get replaced right into a tape computer virus, so those little white thread like worms particularly freaked me out. We took him to the ER and they stated oh it really is pin worms no huge deal lol. So no you aren't any more the actually one residing less than a rock in the international of early existence parasites :)
