Threadworm - help needed!

[Mabel88]

Hello. Just wondered if anybody has any positive experience of getting rid of threadworm. We are getting very desperate. Threadworm is even up our noses. Yuk! The doctor had never met it before. Have taken Ovex and have also started a homeopathic medicine called Cima. Has anyone been here and beaten it? In hope ...

Ooo, noses sounds bad! Treat everyone, wash everything - towels bedding clothes mats rugs. Clean surfaces and floors, things like door handles and loo flushes . Clean towel and pj daily. Then re-treat in 2 weeks.

And a ban on picking noses!

I found that it is crucial that you re-treat in 2 weeks.

You can strip every bed,wash every hand,clean the skirtings and short of detonating a thermo nuclear device they'll be back unless you re treat....

weasle definately a ban on picking and eating at the very least

Did you ever get rid hoping you're still on mumsnet! I think I have them up my nose too
