Could it be threadworms?

[Wormanxiety]

If you had them as an adult, what were the symptoms? I've been having a mild sort of tingling sensation, which is no worse at night than in the day (and certainly not "intense itching" as described on the NHS website), its just on and off but mainly when I think about it! I've checked a few times in the day when the tingly feeling has been a bit more noticeable and can't see anything. Been checking my poo, nothing there. Although this morning there was a sort of thin whitish thread in the toilet bowl after a bowel movement, which now has me questioning if it could be. It wasn't on the poo though, just at the bottom of the bowl. Would a worm float I wonder?

Anyway I'm starting to get increasingly anxious that it is and I have passed it onto my baby as I know they can't take the medicine. We're joined at the hip and Co sleep... :(

I imagine I would have caught them from my preschooler but I've also been checking her like a hawk and nothing. Nothing in her poo, and she's sleeping through the night.

What do you think?

Hey, I hope the threadworm issue is solved now, OP. My family is currently in threadworm-fighting mode. We have all taken ovex, washed sheets and towels. I am backing up the ovex with some other remedies, as I have read some tales of ovex not being effective. I looked at the potential side effects of ovex, in the leaflet they provide in the box, and it is a bit alarming - sudden hair loss, skin peeling and more. I'm not really looking forward to another dose of ovex in 2 weeks, to be honest.
I am using black walnut and wormwood tincture daily. This is the sort of thing that would be used before all this overly strong allopathic medicine was invented. I know that in India people use neem powder, maybe a quarter of a teaspoon in water daily for 3 weeks. (Not suitable for children though, as far as I know, as it is very potent. Probably not wise for breastfeeding mums either. There is a preparation called kutajarishtam which is safe for children, though) Neem (margosa) is a tree which is so highly medicinal for so many ailments that it is know as 'the village pharmacy'. It is also insecticidal - I have witnessed greenfly in my garden shrivelling up and dying after being sprayed with it.
