Discovered my eldest, six year old nail biter, has worms at the end of last week. My youngest also but a notably smaller infection. Told the school because I’m fairly certain my child isn’t the only one, but got a once sentence reply thanking me for letting them know…. Anyway, I really struggle with this stuff mentally. We did as big a clean as possible on the day we took the treatment but there were some places we just simply haven’t been able to get to. Dusty under cabinets etc or bookcases. I’m washing everyone in the morning and evening, changing bedding every day, cleaning bathrooms and trying to hoover and damp dust everywhere. It’s been five days and I’m exhausted but I can’t seem to clear everything. There’s so many tiny toys they have and I can’t keep up with four loads of washing each day!
My question is….do I need to do this for six weeks really?! Does it matter that I’ve missed some spots? Will I disrupt a load of eggs by cleaning them now? Can anyone tell me their experience of getting worms and getting rid of them - preferably nail biters…? (So so so many people saying they have a chronic problem with this) Any ideas for stopping the nail biting too? Have I lost the plot…? (Already know the answer to this one.)
