Also called: Threadworm, Pinworm, Enterobius vermicularis, Seatworm
There are a number of types of worm (helminth) infestations that humans are susceptible to. Of these, the most common by far is the Enterobius vermicularis, also known as the threadworm, pinworm or seatworm. Threadworms are common but are not usually serious. Threadworms infect the gut and lay eggs around your anus which causes itch. Treatment usually includes medication plus hygiene measures. Medication kills the worms, but not their eggs which can survive for two weeks. Therefore, you also need strict hygiene measures for two weeks after taking medication to prevent you from swallowing eggs which may cause a new infection. All household members should be treated at the same time, including those without symptoms. There are two main ways that you can catch threadworms. The first is by direct contact with an infected person. The second is by coming into contact with an object or surface that has become contaminated through contact with an infected person.

"When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering.
After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
