How To Treat And Prevent Pinworms

Thoroughly Clean Surfaces In The Home

It is important to thoroughly clean surfaces in the home because pinworms can be transferred to multiple places. Encouraging thorough cleaning will help reduce an individual's chance of getting infected again. If individuals do not want to chance picking up pinworms from places around the house, it is important to clean their furnishings, counters, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Without thorough cleaning, eggs can remain, and pinworms can reinfest individuals who live in the house and those who care for them. Eggs can even become airborne and inhaled because they are so small. They make their way to the digestive system and start the process all over again. So, while an individual is treating the infestation with medication, making sure their home is kept clean is important to continue, along with good personal hygiene practices.
