It helps a lot to wash the anal sphincter. But neither washing nor enemas will kill the worms that are burrowing into the tissues and living way up inside you.

And as you have already learned, the pharmaceutical drugs don't work very well. This is probably because doctors don't take pinworm infections very seriously. They tell people that pinworms are a nuisance, but they are not dangerous. People have ignored them instead of following up with several rounds of medication to mop up the stragglers and hatchlings. Resistant strains have developed as a result.

It may be true that pinworms aren't all that dangerous when you are young, but the longer you have them, the more damage they can do to your insides. And by the time you reach middle age, you'll start getting hemmorhoids and anal fissures and diverticulitis and all manner of intestinal ailments.

In my opinion, nature's medicine works a whole lot better than drugs. There are more herbs to choose from than pharmaceuticals. And you don't have to worry about plant substances damaging your liver, unless you try to kill off too many of them too fast.

Garlic capsules work great. Lubricate the anal spincter and insert one every time you feel the itch. If you are concerned about stinky farts, living in the dorm, get Wormwood . Or ask the clerk at the health food store which anti-parasitical formula is most popular among the customers. Whatever product you choose, take it orally, as well as using it anally.

If it doesn't seem to be working, try something else. If you have a lot of worms, they will make you want to poop as soon as you insert one of these and the medicine reaches them. It is easier to retain them if you do an enema first. Or you can just put in another one after you've had a bowel movement. If the second insertion makes you poop again, put in another one.

It's important to keep the bowels moving. parasites will constipate you. Take extra fiber if you need it. I think they figured out how to make people constipated to give their eggs more time to hatch out. They seem to get worse in cycles. About every 5-6 months they can become very annoying. It is important to stay right on top of it. Carry some Wormwood and a little lotion in your purse. Go to the bathroom and insert one between classes if they are itching you.
