My dd has worms.....

[Bumdiddley]

Oh, the humiliation!!!

I feel terrible because when I was a child my mum made us feel like the filthiest little beasts when we had worms. I thought I had done it to myself by scratching my bum. It never occurred to me that they had to come from somewhere....

We were given a powder called Pripsin, that made me throw up. We was also given a vile green syrup and horrible yellow pills.

What are they prescribing these days? Is it as common as the books say? Am I a bad mummy because my ds has got them??

I actually felt like crying when I saw them in her potty...she was rather excited....

Hi Sally, thanks. Does it need a prescription?

I am beginning to wonder about mine. It's rife in school and DS#2 keeps complaining about an itchy bottom Does Ovex taste any better than Pripsin?

OrmIrian - Glad it's not just me about the Pripsin!!

Thanks for your replies. DH stays at home with the dcs. I'll get him scrubbing .
