I hate threadworms, I really do but what I hate even more than the critters themselves is that when I'm utterly exhausted at the party we're going to tomorrow because my DD's been screaming all night that they itch/hurt I won't be able to tell anyone. There's such a taboo about it and I just don't get. It's so so common and yet whenever I have mentioned it to anyone they've looked at me like we've got the plague and live in squalor. They then proceed to tell me that their little darlings have never had it. Actually they've never heard of anyone having had it. And yet supposedly up to half of children under 10 have it at any one time.
AIBU? And any magic tips to stop her getting it again? Obviously we've done the standard (tablet for the whole family and another ready for two weeks, cleaned, clean sheets, clean towels, pants on under PJs etc etc).
