Threadworms

We have threadworms, off to the chemist this morning to get what we need. Read up on what we need to do re washing everything etc.

Only problem is dd's have a tonne of teddies it will take about 3 days to wash all of them along with everything else. Any ideas what to do with them in the meantime? Also the ones that may not survive a hot wash, what about those?

Bag them up til you can wash, hot wash not necessary I don't think - normal wash will be ok for those that won't survive (or bin them if not precious lol) make sure you Hoover after every bag opening as the eggs can waft

In a tied bin bag I mean

OK bagging up all of the teddies I might be able to get the to part with some of them maybe (hopeful)!

So much washing and it's now pouring down!

The other alternative to washing them is bagging up and quarantining them until any eggs on them aren't viable any more. A few weeks I think.
