Threadworms! Eeek! Why haven't they died yet???

[Spagblog]

My son was in great discomfort and following some inspection I discovered the dreaded worms! I went out and bought Ovex Saturday night and we all dosed ourselves.
However, 48hrs later and the worms are still alive and wriggling.

Shouldn't they be dead by now?

It can take a little longer. They just suddenly 'stop', in my experinece of the dreaded turd that waves back

unless these are new ones that were eggs when he took the dose, IYKWIM, how long does it say til you can dose again??

[Spagblog]

2 weeks until I can dose again.
I am sick of sticking my head down the loo to peer at the blinking worms to see if they are moving!

We were prescribed Vermox Liquid by GP and it kills them straightaway. Never had to redose.
