Threadworms (enterobius vermicularis)

[uttoxeter1001]

@MrLatif03 Don't panic! I get them often too. Just do what she said and don't worry about telling your parents. It'll be fine! Just talk to your GP and they'll probably suggest that you start taking the ovex tablets you saw in the video. Those ones are better. Good luck! :)

[MrLatif03]

Help I think I have worms, I've had them on and off for 4 years now. It is so annoying and stops me from concentrating and sleeping properly. They go after a while for several months but then return. I am too shy to ask my parents to take me to the GP and I am not the right age to go by myself (I'm under 18). I know it will go after a while but I don't want it to return.

Please someone tell me what to do!

[1andonlybabyt]

i had this when i was 3 yrs old...smh the itching was unbearable

[Chony2000]

i had pinworms and i didnt have any of those systoms

[twinkeez09]

hi, is it the garlic are effective to get rid of pinworms for a child 2 yr old?

[889357k]

Just go to the pharmacist and ask for some Combantrin (Mebendazole) or other worming medication. They usually come in chocolate squares so their easy to take. Its quite normal for worms to go into your vagina. Your mum won't be mad and she and the rest of the family may need to be treated too. That may include the family pet as that commonly is where they come from. No need to be scared or to get them out. The medicine takes care of it quickly. One of the hazards of being human. Good luck ;o)

And I'm scared to tell my mom! D:

[Viperclan2]

I'm REALLY scared. I have these, I think, and I'm a girl, and I think some of them went into my... you know what... (not my bum!) D: How do I get them out?

[1704selina]

@Viperclan2 i do not know but i get them too and they are SOOOOOO itchy i HATE them just take the tablets and they will go away :D

[ProfessorH0b0]

I'm 14, can they be more dangerous to people my age than in the adult years.

[scotsguy77]

@ProfessorH0b0 If you have an itchy bum mostly at night there could be a chance you have worms. The little blighters come out at night, don't ask me why. Go see your doctor, mine's was a woman. She gave me Vermox. I took 1 tablet & then a second tablet 2 weeks later. I had them for years. Your Dr has seen everything, go for it, You will be amazed by the results after your first tablet.

[spiderlegs1987]

can you get them from animals? like a kitten maybe?

[2TWISTEDBALLS]

Iv got em now and im 30

[xXaGvSiicKsHoTzXx]

can they kill you please write back

[2TWISTEDBALLS]

@xXaGvSiicKsHoTzXx no no no no never

[tu4eva]

@xXaGvSiicKsHoTzXx Yes, hahahaha.... omg you gonna die... Joke!

It's completely harmless.

[PSUtotheBCS1]

@xXaGvSiicKsHoTzXx if thread worms are pinworms than no they are just a annoyance to humans becuase of their itching

[LAMCL23]

@xXaGvSiicKsHoTzXx no, they cannot kill you. :)

[Bezziesxxxx]

Omg I hate them things I think I had them once ..

[runescapefisher]

@Bezziesxxxx hey i think i might have them umm could u help me i dont know what i should do plzz

[scotsguy77]

@runescapefisher I had them for ages. Scratching my butt at night while in bed. They come out at night. I went to the doctor. She gave me Mebendazole (Vermox) orange/pinkish tablets. If you still have them write back to me ok. I will explain more.

[beautybuff820]

i think i have. i took a medicine but it didnt heal me. now seems worse. ughhh and i cant afford to go to a doctor plus its pointless since i already know, i have all the signs. *sigh*...

[coolakki147]

lovely and decent presentation......pakistani

[shocker1300]

@TheKie168 yeah im in the same boat... I actually noticed it about 4 years ago but never said anything cause I didn't bother to look up what was wrong with me :P However I'm glad the treatment seems easy enough lol I think the only hard part is saying that u have it... "Mom, I got worms." "How do u kno?" "my butts itchy" ...

[tylerwalker2]

i dont get it so it isnt dangerous or is it i didnt get that near then end

[CaptainOvious123]

@tylerwalker2 she says "rarely serious", though it did sound like "really serious"

[wizard101magic2]

i got it but dont want to tell parents :(

[RandomDirectors]

@wizard101magic2 tell them 30% of people get this worms and most likely one of your parents has had them in the past

they can buy u wat you need and then u wont have worms anymore. why would you possibly want worms inside you?

[Kurolli]

@wizard101magic2

ugh just do it, xD

[zwap12]

how do i get rid off?

[malad1]

By the way the first night your kid mentions this get to the doctor as the next few nights are far worse. If you're willing you can take a look and it is normally possible to see the worms. The mideicine takes about 24hours to work fully and will need to be taken again. Years ago it tasted horribly but now it's fine.

[JamesyJames500]

WOW ew that is sO gross

[Ilyas74777]

Excellent. I m a medical student and know how awesome she presented it.

[MelodicChaosGuitar]

@Ilyas74777 exactly. same here! IT#s more comfortable to watch it here than looking it up in a book :-)

[NathanGraffiti]

thanks... i have these things

[datzfast]

the eggs found of floors of homes and schools at a concentration of around 50 eggs per square foot can also become airborne and are easily swallowed.

Adult men and women are usually immune to infection. man is the only reservoir

[TheSavetheworld]

i have these and i took the pills 2 months ago but just one dose. i should of got the second one after 2 weeks.

[xXxGutlessWonderxXx]

i hate getting those thing...

[mompm]

I think my child has this but the pediatrician is making up wait for SLOW lab result. Her abdomen hurts a lot- is that common

[Udany147]

No no no. Only itching.

[DelightPage]

No. It's not just itching. Your stomach, gut and abdomen will hurt after a long time.
