What Would Work Best to Rid Pinworms?

Posted By Pinworms-must-die (Edmonton, Canada) on 03/23/2012

Pinworms! My daughter complained and sure enough pinworms. Checked the other kids who didn't complain, pinworms. I am sure me and my wife have them too.

Over the counter Combatrin has reduced the appearance of these worms but I saw a really large one in my stool today about 1" long! They're not supossed to get that big!

We been taking combatrin for 3 weeks and were told to stop by health link or the worms would become resiliant. We have now been off the med for about 1.5 weeks. I am grossed out and have contemplated a wire brush drill attachment!

I want them gone and have heard of ways to cure livestock using Diatomaceous earth. Probably not safe for humans but is there any analog for humans? Something worms can't adapt to?

I don't drink milk but would cocnut milk be just as good to substitute?

So far I want to go buy a bunch of carrots and garlic and some oils as suggested on this forum. Is there anything else?

Also when I start thinking about the problem is when I feel itching, it's mostly in my head, but as evidenced this morning some really is in my butt too.

As far as external treatments, does cooking oil suffocate the worms when they try to lay eggs? how much is enough? The eggs are laid just within the anus, so I'm not sure if I need 1cup or 1 tsp. Olive oil work? or Coconut oil is best? If I drink lots of coconut milk will it help? Thanks.

You can get food grade Diatomaceous earth and that is very good to rid yourself of parasites. Good Luck.

Diamtomateous earth does work to get rid of internal parasites... But it must be FOOD GRADE. You can purchase this at a health food store. You would mix about a teaspoon in water and drink it.

You can use Vaseline and clove oil to kill the eggs put it on your genital areas before you go to sleep this will kill the eggs and suffocate the adults as you sleep try olive oil if you feel it burning too much also you can make a more powerful concoction by adding iodine 4 to 5 drops and been oil 4-5 drops get 8 garlic gel caps empty the capsules into this paste mix all together and rub on the area

I really hope this helps you.

Sorry I mistyped my last reply. You can use Vaseline and clove oil to kill the eggs put it on your genital areas before you go to sleep this will kill the eggs and suffocate the adults as you sleep try olive oil if you feel it burning too much with Vaseline also you can make a more powerful concoction by adding iodine (optional) 4 to 5 drops, neem oil 4-5 drops, get 8 garlic gel caps and empty the capsules into this paste mix all together and rub on the area. I really hope this helps you.
