OMG I've just found a worm .... eww!

[wrigglythings]

OMG, I have so name changed for this!

I could feel something irritating me in my bottom, went for a look and I found one thread worm! Yuk!

I've got a four year old daughter, and she hasn't complained about having an itchy bottom or similar?

So who have I caught them off? I'm horrified!

I've taken a dose of Ovex liquid, and will of course give my daughter some in the morning.

She has had them before, which is why I've got Ovex in. But that was months and months ago?

Do I need to change bedding and do the big clean up tonight or is tomorrow OK? What temperature should I wash the bedding on?

Do I need to do anything else?

They are regular visitors to the TCOB household. Hideous but true. You have to be permanently militant to keep the little bastards at bay. Good luck with the annihilation programme...

i think its said 40% of kids/population have them at any time. I used to wash bedding at 60 degrees but the eggs will be anywhere hands have touched. Regular worming I reckon and short nails, underwear at night for kids and teach them to keep hands out of mouths.
