I have a couple of questions for you. Do you bite your fingernails? Do they appear more so after one of the two children get them? Are you cleaning bedclothes and furniture etc after diagnosis? Even though they are very common they are easy to get rid of there is something that you are doing or a place that you are going where someone has them they are very contagious.

Er, what's a threadworm? If you bite your nails, Sally Hansen's Nail Biter formula works great.

When my children were young, we called them pin-worms. The only one of my four children that ever go them was my oldest and she was a nail biter also. She will be the first to tell you that breaking that habit was the hardest thing she has ever done. But she has'nt had them since she stopped biting them. Maybe that's your answer, maybe not, just thought that might be helpful.

and they are intestinal parasites.
The nail biting causes you to ingest the eggs and re-infect yourself because the eggs are microscopic and very difficult to remove from under your nails!
Quit putting your hands in your mouth and your problem will go away!
hang in there!

Hi, Joanne.
If stopping biting your nails does not resolve this, you are going to have to do something about your LGS and secondary dysbiosis (archives) AND stop your nail biting habit.
Let us know how you do.
90% of the adult population have pinworms but few have them in sufficient numbers to have symptoms.
