The contagion of the annoying worms (pinworms) It occurs in environments where there are many children when they touch objects (pencils, toys, towels, etc.) where the microscopic eggs of another affected child who have scratched when they have gone to the bathroom have been laid.
When another kid touches those infested objects He picks up the eggs without realizing it, although he will only catch it if he puts his hands in his mouth. It must be said that sometimes the contagion will not be immediate since the eggs survive for a long time.
The symptom of the worms begin to manifest after a month of contagion, since that is the time they need, more or less, to reproduce. The first symptom is itching or pruritus in the anal area. Itching can be associated with irritations and insomnia due to nervousness and is responsible for the successive infections, by scratching the affected area and then touching objects.
Normally, if a child has worms, it is to be assumed that other members of the community will have them too. family, and compañeros school and games.
Before taking any action, it is best go to the pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis even if at home we have already observed them with the naked eye.
Eliminating worms is easy and simple. When the prescribed medicine (vermifuge) is taken, the worms disappear, usually within a week. After fifteen days the treatment should be repeated for safety.
However, for prevent new infections, it is necessary to wash all the clothes, especially sheets and underwear that have been in contact with the child. You have to put the washing machine at a high temperature to be able to destroy the possible remains of eggs, better if a disinfectant product is used. For greater safety, it is convenient to wash toys and, sometimes, carpets and floors.
