Hi all
Just found worms last night on 6 year old DS. All had ovex dose. Washing all his bedding, toys, pjs, towels, hoovering, damp dusting etc this morning.
Question is do we have to wash all my and hudbands double bedding and towels too every day if neither of us showing signs on infection? Just wanted to check i do the right thing as this is my first worms experience. Thankyou

I wouldn't. I usually just dose the itchy child and change their sheets and communal hand towels and remind more frequently about handwashing. I don't go into overdrive. Seems to work.

I know the thought of worms is gross but they're common enough and as long as you nip it in the bud not particularly problematic.

Don't panic. I didn't go over the top with cleaning ours, just hers and we got rid major quick! Just make sure you take the ovrex again in the time it states to repeat it.?
