When we would suspect our children had pinworms, we would take a piece of Scotch tape, and when they were asleep press it into their anus, then attach it to a slide and look at it under a microscope. Very easy to confirm, there would be eggs stuck to the tape. (be sure it is the clear tape, not the frosted). Interestingly enough if you left the slide for a few days and looked at them, the eggs would often have turned into little worms.

I have a lot of Anal itching. It's actually becoming pretty painful. Thought it might be psoriasis. But don't think it is. Then I done thought about pins worms and this really makes since to me

After I go through everyone's suggestion I will treat my self and the whole family. Good grief.

You will know if you had/have pinworms for sure. Eggs hatch in your intestines and adults hang around the anus causing a crawling sensation.

Unmistakable feeling!!

The body will tend to rid itself of them by enough bowel movements over time so if you continue to get them you are reinfecting yourself somehow. The most common way in kids is that they don't thoroughly wash their hands and nails after wiping.

Animals also carry pinworms especially if they are grazers. So if one is around feces from those animals, or even cleaning cat litter boxes, that is another way to keep reinfecting oneself.

Wash, wash, wash those hands!!

I wonder if DE would work if you have any hanging around
