Homeopathy for threadworms

[Rainbow24x]

Has anyone used a homeopath for treatment of threadworms when mebendazole has not worked?

For info: we have taken it multiple times and we are doing everything in our power to get rid of them. Keeping on top of all the cleaning, showering etc etc

White flakes doesn't sound like thread worms. They're actual tiny white worms.

Omg

Are you treating everyone in the home with mebendazole and not just the person who has the worms?

Get a small bottle and fill.it with tap water. Voila, you have a homeopathic 'medicine'.

Yes, threadworms look exactly like pieces of white cotton thread, usually around 1.5 to 2 cm long and they move slowly but in a writhing motion. You don't see them moving in the day time, they come down to the anus at night and you can actually see them emerging. You can see them in stools if it is a bad infestation. They look nothing like flakes.

Yes thread worms aren’t flakes. You will see them in poo wriggling like anything.

Seen them in my own stool a few weeks ago

I have pumpkin seeds here. I didn’t know they had to be ground up, thanks

Family members outside the home say they don’t have them no signs or symptoms

Yes treating everyone

Reduce sugar intake. They thrive on glucose.

Is that the only time you've seen them? I'd be thinking this isn't threadworms if so.

New tooth brushes and keep them in a cabinet.

Disposable hand towels for now.

They can appear like pieces of skin on your underwear if you look into it. Sometimes looks like very small pieces of thread. Not moving. I think this is from the eggs hatching and making there way back inside.

Eat pineapples.
Wash and wash your hands.

If you have a prepayment prescription card or young kids get the medication from the gp. It's the same stuff but cheaper as its expensive. Treat everyone but do three cycles of treatment.

I'm pretty sure having a washing machine in the kitchen doesn't help things.

Is the itching really intense? I am just wondering if it could be something else? The most reliable test is the midnight torch patrol. (Shudders at the memory). Lots of vaseline round the anus can trap them so they are clearly visible.

My seriously hippy friend, who wouldn't use conventional medicine (a discussion for another thread) cured her then 8yr old DD through 1. hygiene stuff upthread but tbh nothing more than hand washing, knicker wearing, towel management and 2 (sorry everyone) getting her child to squat after her bath and mildly push and while my friend caught emerging worms on a cotton bud. Everyone thoroughly washed again after the fishing expedition. I think she had to do it two or three nights then again a week or so later and then maybe one more time.

Ftr the child is a gloriously happy and well adjusted teenager albeit sometimes prone to oversharing

I see you have several threads on this. I think that perhaps it isn't worms and that you need to look at another cause for the itching.

So sugar pills/water with no active ingredient will help instead?
Cop on. Go to the Dr and get an alternative medicine.

already spoke to them and there isn’t an alternative

Diatomaceous Earth is meant to help clear internal parasites and the like.

There's always an alternative. albendazole or pyrantel pamoate

This, plus if you're DCs are at school have you informed them about the recurrent problem (anonymously, if preferred)? lf all families are made aware they can check and treat if necessary to break the cycle.

This might be the issue. When you flush a loo particles from the loo go everywhere, even if you have the loo seat down. Put them in a cupboard or out of the bathroom. Also make sure everyone washes hands before brushing teeth.
