The family has itchy bottoms. We think it might be pinworms?
July 17th, 2010 | 
Author: I thought my itchy bottom was hemorrhoids. Then I noticed the family itching. Three weeks had gone by when I called the Doctor. She called in meds which cost about $40 for two treatments, one week apart. The itching improved, but didn’t go away. I got two more treatments this time over the counter ($20), 1 week apart. We still have itchy bottoms, a total of about 2 months. The doctor said it could be strep. But I don’t think that is possible since none of us has had strep throat. I wash towels every day, change underwear twice a day, vacuum weekly and sheets once a week. I tried looking with a flash light on my daughter and didn’t see any worms. Is it possible that the meds is not working or could this be something else? We also have a high efficiency washing machine. Could the machine not be cleaning the sheets? My husband doesn’t want to spend any more money or go to the doctor.
We also got a rescue dog that has had skin issues. The vet said that dogs and cats don’t get pin worms. He was tested for sarcoptic mange, but came up negative.
Ok, this is gross, but if it were pinworms, you can see little worms either around your rectum or when you deficate.

Sometimes the worm eggs can get under your finger nails when you scratch. Then get transferred to your mouth, so re infecting you, Try scrubbing your nails often. Hope this helps.

I believe the OIL OF OREGANO could help you and your dog,too-I suffered for 14 months with this stuff-fungus-I still don’t know-horrible. Lamisil pills and cream didn’t help. I had dermatologist with biopsy etc. Buy the Oil of Oregano-very powerful! I took it internally ( you can put the oil-if you want in gel capsules-or, under your tongue) and, then I mixed it with olive oil or extra virgin coconut oil on the rash.(extra virgin coconut is anti-fungal in itself). I bought the least expensive-from Oreganoworld for $19 oz-undiluted, very strong and powerful-cured me in 3 days. I have a whole bag of creams, sprays, powders etc nothing worked but this. You can spend alot more for this oil-but, this one worked for me. Oil of Oregano is anti-microbial, anti-fungal, kills parasites-very powerful. I wish you well and to be healed fast. The people at Oreganoworld are very nice-call and talk with them,too. Iam not connected to them at all-just healed finally.
