[quote=Anonymous]My preschooler recently got these from a visiting cousin. They can actually be tricky to get rid of because the eggs can live for up to 3 weeks on surfaces. I had to sanitize all the legos the Kids were playing with and we have a lot of legos so it was pretty terrible. Our pediatrician said to take 2 doses. The second dose is taken two weeks after the first because the medication only kills the adults not the eggs. The second dose takes care of the eggs that hatch later (very gross). We used petroleum jelly to stop the itching at night - also the worms can't move through the petroleum jelly so it cuts down on more egg laying. Washed our bed linens and towels every single day for two weeks - probably overkill but I was so disgusted I didn't care. Reinfections are common because people don't do a good job getting rid of them in the first place.[/quote]
