My mother had l worms also. I have no idea how she got them, but she also took some medicine that caused them to to come out of her mouth.

I would imagine that you had some pretty bad diahrreah before you went to the doctor. Did you feel these things moving around in your stomach? What was causing you to have insomnia? Did you lose weight? How long do you think you had these things inside of you?

I was not aware that humans could get round worm. Are you sure you don't have tape worm?

Those symptoms DO seem really common. How did the diagnosis happen? Did you have any skin lesions? Did the doctor suspect worms and make you do a stool sample?

Clean every inch of your home. Wash everything in hot water and hot dryer. Bag up whatever can't be washed. Launder night clothes and sheets every day (don't shake the sheets). Shower morning and night, morning is most important and get your bottom cleaned real well. Then be sure and clean your fingernails well. Rub vaseline around the anus area at night to trap the eggs and keep them from becoming airborne. (Yes you can get pinworms through the air!) Open up the curtains and let sunlight in.

Everyone in the house needs to take the Pin-X and then again in week or so. Possibly again.

Eat pumpkin seeds and pineapple. Stay away from sugary and carb loaded things that will feed the worms. If you have constipation, make sure you take something to make you go. Tea tree oil suppositories are available on Amazon.

This is the part that both freaks me out and pisses me off.

OP - I'm now completely mortified. How itchy was your rear? Are we talking constant? I'm now worried that everytime my bum itches, I'm going to think I've got worms.

I'm also never again walking outside without footwear, and I'm sure I'm having nightmares tonight of worms coming out of peoples mouths.
Sweet baby Jesus.

I had pinworms in my early 20s. At first I thought all the little white things on my inner thighs were just tiny pieces of lint or cotton from my underwear. Imagine my horror when those things started MOVING!

I think I caught it early because I was able to get rid of it pretty quickly. The doc suspects undercooked pork from my date at Benihana's. It was a really long time before I ate pork again.

Dammit people. This makes me want to move to the arctic.

Oh god. The mouth thing. I cannot...

The mouth thing cannot be true. Can a medical professional weigh in please and hopefully debunk. I would have PTSD for sure.
