Hi there, I would be interested to get some feedback on this topic. My son has had recurrent threadworms in his first two years at school, so far about four times a year. Every time we treat it with tablets from the pharmacy, and our whole family is treated. I asked his school if they could send home a notice to parents in his class, so they could be aware and treat their children if they had symptoms of threadworm (worms are very contagious between children). The school said they would not do this. I was very surprised, as if there is a case of head lice, a notice is sent home to inform parents. My feeling is that if there are untreated children with threadworm at the school, the problem will persist. What are people's thoughts on this? Thanks!
