will it hurt me?

Answer 1

I agree with the garlic, it will work but they can be treated with medicine. If you go to the doctor more than likely they will treat the whole family. And dont be imbarassed
when my children were small I remember the first time I had to deal with this, the doctor told me if you have children and they have friends they will get pin worms.
Not only are they in dirt, he told me the eggs are airborn. So dont think you are the only one. I had a home daycare when my children were your age and yes thats where they got them from. So we
ate alot of spicy garlic food. Good luck

Don't be embarrassed. You could have gotten them from a small child, like if you babysit or have contact with smaller children. To tell if you have them, when you use the bathroom, look in your bowel movement. You will see little tiny worms sticking out of it. The only way to get rid of them is to go to a doctor and get a prescription that is taken orally. You will probably have to tell your mom to go to the doc.

Tell your mom, I seriously doubt she will get mad at you. Pin worms are initially gotten from getting dirt under your fingernails, and then eating food or biting your nails. The eggs are in the dirt, you ingest them they travel down your digestive tract and there you go...itchy bottom with an infestation.

I am not sure if pinworms will hurt your, but I don't think you want to live with the itch for the rest of your life.

Get it taken care of if that is your problem...Good luck

you can take some garlic supplements. it's the odor-less garlic ones. it should clear them right up.
