My three kids seem to get pinworms more than any one else I know. I keep my house clean, I change sheets every week on the beds and am always harping on washing of the hands. When we do get them I have them take a shower every morning before school and I wash their sheets and vacuum their rooms, I use bleach on everything in the bathroom and spray disinfecting spray on their beds and pillows. They have to change their underware every night and every morning. We are carful not to shake out the clothes or bed linen's. They wear clothes to sleep in that they can not get their hand down in and scratch at them selfs. Is their something I am not doing that I need to do. What is your suggestion. Thank you mother of 3

Do you have pets? Dogs and cats can carry these wonderful little critters and continue to reinfect your family.

Hi, Mother.
Pinworms are parasites. See the archives about dysbiosis and about parasites.
How is their diet? The crummy American diet (fast foods and lots of refined foods) is the most common cause of children having dysbiosis. Worms are about the only creatures that this kind of food is good for! A normal bacterial ecology in the colon is the best defence against what you have described.
Once you have educated yourself as above, if you still have questions, write again. Leet us know how they do.

No pets do not carry the same type of pinworms that humans get. I talked to both the doctor and the vet after my daughter came down with them. Both verified that my pets would not be the carriers of these critters. Their eggs are often found in sand and dirt which of course is where children play. And if one of your children has a tendency to put his hands in his mouth then of course, that increases the risk of getting them. And they are easily spread from child to child. I lived in Germany for a while and they did not dispense medication for the condition. Believe it or not sour kraut was the cure that they use. The acidic nature kills them off. In the US they dispense this little orange pill, but it didn't kill the pin worms off the first time the last time my daughter had them. You don't seem to be doing anything wrong. Some children seem to have a propensity to get them. I'm not a doctor. I'm a mother sharing what I know and who has been there and done that.
