Pinworms, also known as threadworms or Oxyuris, are common intestinal parasites, particularly among children.

Transmission occurs via the fecal-oral route, often through ingesting microscopic eggs on contaminated surfaces, hands, or food....
What symptoms do pinworm infections cause?
Pinworm infections primarily cause intense itching around the anus, especially at night. Infected individuals may also experience restlessness, irritability, and difficulty sleeping due to the discomfort. In severe cases, it can lead to abdominal pain and nausea.
How common are pinworm infections?
Pinworm infections are the most common type of intestinal worm infection in the Europe and United States . They’re especially prevalent among school-aged children, affecting millions worldwide each year due to their highly contagious nature.
Pinworms thrive wherever large groups of people are in close contact, such as schools, daycare centers, and family homes. They are not limited by climate or socioeconomic status, making them a universal concern.
How can you treat pinworm infections?
Treatment typically involves oral medication, such as mebendazole or albendazole, prescribed to all family members to prevent reinfection. Washing bedding and clothing in hot water and maintaining good personal hygiene can help eliminate eggs. Some also use home remedies like garlic and coconut oil to soothe itching.
