Worms :( DoesAnybody Routinely Worm Their Child?

Please don't flame me.

I'm knackered & fed up of worms.

After 10 years of parenting , for the first time I'm having to deal with these little bastards.

We've all got them. I'm stripping and washing all bedding, pyjamas, clothes daily.

I'm thoroughly cleaning the kitchen & bathroom twice daily.

Cleaning floors daily and hoovering whole house daily.

We are wearing pants to bed and our nails are short, and we've done the Ovex thing.

Does anybody routinely worm their children ? I know it's not the done thing but the thought of going through this again anytime soon makes me want to run away .......

Because I'm so knackered my imagination is running wild ( please please don't anybody fuel it ) and I can't sleep as I keep thinking I can feel them ( which I probably can ).

Don't forget to treat again with Ovex after two weeks. I believe Ovex isn't absorbed into the blood stream, so is safe to retake.

DD1 has just had second dose of Ovex and still has the bleeding worms. Went to the pharmacist who said go to the GP, then prescribed Ovex again for third and fourth rounds.

School doesn't care. Phoned up the receptionist to put an email round two weeks ago (they do it for nits), but nothing. Actually, haven't had an email about worms in the two years at the school so far (school of roughly 700 children) and have nit emails roughly every week.
