One in two children may have worms. Worm eggs can be found everywhere from contaminated soil, food, water, utensils and surfaces to human and animal faeces, toilet seats, door handles and pet fur. Infestations often go undetected, but signs to watch for – apart from itchy bottoms and scratching – are abdominal bloating and discomfort, diarrhoea, vomiting, increased appetite without weight gain or loss in appetite.
While washing hands, drinking clean water, cooking meat products thoroughly and washing fruit and vegetables can help prevent a worm infestation, you need to deworm your family every six months.
