So people with no symtoms and don’t know- the worms just stay in the body for forever? Like if you would look at the persons poop would you see them?

According to websites when I google it doesn’t sound like the majority of people have them or will even get them.

Parasites can be a normal part of gut flora if they aren't causing any trouble. They even have some benefits.
Look up helminthic therapy.

According to my children’s pediatrician that’s true.
No one in my immediate family has ever dealt with pinworms bh. Some of my cousins have. I believe it might be genetic, like strep or even headlice.

You wish it were that easy.
Lysol does not kill pinworm eggs.
And that is chief reason why they are so hard to get rid of from surfaces.

What does kill it then?

I don’t think it’s common for a lot to swarm out at once. I have dealt with this issue unfortunately and have never seen that, thank Gd. It’s actually hard to catch them coming out at all, which is why many people are unaware they have them.


the homeopathy remedy cina made them swarm out in some of my kids. literally crawling on underpants.

the others only had a few. - are you telling me that that there are thousands more inside just not coming out?

I myself took it and had nothing coming out even if I get a stray one here and there.

so they must be living alone.

I've only had recurrent issues when I've had major obsessive thumb/ finger suckers. I definitely find that when I get lax about washing linen weekly things flare up out of control. I Cook with lots of garlic and am happy to humor those kids craving spicy foods. The more the merrier.


does the garlic get rid of the pinworms?
