Gah threadworms....

[girliefriend]

I can't find a recent thread to remind me of everything I need to do

Am totally grossed out as actually saw a worm wriggling in dds (8yo) backside poor dd is traumatised as well!

Had a spare tablet so gave her that before bed and will get some more for me, I know have to wash bedding and towels but is there anything else I need to do?

Cut everyone's nails very short in case of itching in the night, so they can't harbour under nails. Make sure everyone is washing hands and nails very thoroughly.

Give her a pack of wipes for tonight and a plastic bag. When she feels the itch tell her ton give it a good wipe (it's the glue that causes the itching) and put the wipe in the bag.

You need to remove the eggs from every surface possible. Lights, taps, remotes etc and damp dust everywhere.

Another tablet each in 2 weeks.

Thankyou all was going to get the dettol wipes out and go over surfaces tomos, nails are short and I gave a handwash lecture to dd tonight!!

Too late to do the wipes thing tonight gamer as she is fast asleep now, am hoping the tablets work quite quickly!

Its just so grim, why oh why have they not invented something to stop us getting them? Seems ludicrous that the cat can have worm and flea treatment yet we can't

Will do a subsequent treatment in a fortnight as well - thanks hauntedfoot
