TMI alert, and couldn't be bothered to name change! God I hate these little buggers, since I've had DS who's now 10 we've had them 3-4 times I think. We only discover the infection once it's spread to me, I seem to be the only one who gets the itching/wriggling feelings then we discover DS and his Dad have them too.
Anyway I noticed the familar itching Monday night, me and DS took an Ovex yesterday morning. I noticed the wriggling again last night but was expecting it as only 15 hours since taken the tablet.
Is it still too early now to be noticing dead worms in a stool/toilet paper, as I think that's what I just noticed in mine - it's now 31 hours since we took Ovex... These things freak me out so much I'm desperate for them to be gone! [shocked]

I would guess you need to disinfect door handles etc around your home. I remember having them as a young child, awful! I would also treat again in a week or so (you need to check this is ok as I'm not a medic!) just to make sure the blighters are gone!! How about getting hand sanitiser too?
