Be Prepared and Take the Fear Out of Pinworm Infection

Dealing with a pinworm infection can be a scary experience if you’re not sure how to handle it. Knowing what you’re supposed to do can provide as much comfort as the medicine itself. This month, Reese’s Pinworm Medicine’s blog put together some resources for you to use to take the fear out of the infection.

OUR FIRST STOP: LEE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

The Lee Memorial Health System tackled the danger of pinworms head on in this brief and informative video. Created by an accredited hospital, this one minute and thirty-four second video touches on many of the points you need to know to deal with pinworm.

OUR NEXT STOP: ABRAHAM THE PHARMACIST

Do you know that in the United Kingdom they call our little itch-causing friends threadworms? You didn’t need to know that, but it is interesting to see that people all over the world have to deal with the same problem. Abraham the Pharmacist takes us on a journey of how they handle pinworm on the other side of the pond.

AND OUR FINAL DESTINATION: FIRST 5 – VALLEY PBS

Focused on preventative measures and how we can identify when our children are suffering from a pinworm infection, Juanita Stevenson from First 5 walks us through what we can do about it! Covering a broad overview from a basic understanding to preventative steps you can take, Valley PBS does a great job of creating a comprehensive source of information.
