Rainbow colors in sizes 9 to 15 Knowledge Of Hygiene Needed To Rid Children Of Pinworms By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. (Written for NEA Service) Tiny white worms in the lower intestines are usually pinworms or seatworms.

These are only one kind of animal parasite which can lodge in the bowel, but like the other pinworms often interfere with the general health and are difficult to get rid of. Pinworms are most common in children, especially among those in large families or in children living in institutions. They are comparatively rare in families in which separate bedrooms are used. This is because the worms get on the bed linen, pajamas and other clothing and are picked up by others who come in contact with such objects. When children live in an institution or dormitory or when several use the same bedroom the spreading of the worms from one person to another is easy.

The eggs from pinworms are usually laid on the skin and mucous membrane near the outlet of the bowel. This causes severe itching. In fact the itching can be so bad that it produces nervousness, sleeplessness, and even convulsions. The exact diagnosis is made by taking swabs from the place where the worms are likely to be and examining the material under the microscope. Although infection with pinworms is common, it is frequently confused with other parasites and the diagnosis must be clarified by accurate examination.

Once this has been done, proper treatment can be started. Treatment is reasonably satisfactory but should be given to all infected persons in a family or to all children in a dormitory. About nine out of ten are cured by this means although the treatment may have to be repeated several times. Plenty Of Soap As soon as an outbreak of infection with pinworms has been discovered, treatment should be prompt and thorough. Children who are exposed as well as those who have the worms must be given information on hygiene measures.

Without care, the danger of reinfection is great. Careful and frequent washing of the hands with soap and water is the most important. With the improvement In knowledge of hygiene and how to take care of one's body and better methods of treatment pinworm infections have become less frequent. Once established, however, pinworms rarely or never die off of themselves without treatment. Whitehall Nuptial Pair Living Here Schultz and John I.
