Is it possible to have worms with no worms to be seen?

[mankymummy]

DS keeps saying he has an itchy bottom, keeps scratching. just changed his nappies and he was trying to itch actually up his bottom (sorry TMI).

I would think it was worms but have been checking very thoroughly and theres nothing there at all...

Any ideas?

LOL i've never heard of such an approach! how clever thou art

Just lazy, really - infinitely preferable to manic washing for weeks on end

Does metanium really stop them coming out/laying eggs? If so, thats a great easy treatment in itself...

Elibean, glad to be of assistance. I felt a tickly sensation about 8 in the vening. Whizzed upstairs, got the old magnifying mirror out, bent over and had a good old look. And there it was.

Don't know what the bloke across the road thoought. I must draw the drapes next time.

8 in the evening

Thank you for being good enough to clarify

I've checked tickly sensations many times, and never seen anything other than (TMI of different sort coming up, sorry) small, irritated looking haemorrhoids. Either my eyesight isn't up to it, or I get very sneaky threadworms, or its piles
