Worms :s

Well there are no signs so I think I'll leave the torch in the cupboard for now
I'm not going to de worm until there is evidence of the little blighters

I feel very faint reading this.... I have a bad fear of worms - doesn't matter what size, if they are at all visible I will freak out. What on earth will I do if my kids ever get worms?? It probably sounds like I'm overreacting but I really don't think I could even go near a child's bum if they had worms. If I got them I'd cry.

This could be enough to bring on OCD-style handwashing

Ok Far TMI alert here

My boys have had them a few times. They complained of an itchy bum and couldn't setle at night, so I did the bum in the air, bright light thing and went 'fishing' for them with a bit of toilet paper I got them to try to open up as much as possible (without hurting them of course) "Go on trump in Mummy's face" usually works with my boys. Then I just wait until I see the worm and lift it out with a cotton bud (very gently) I can usually manage to get them out so they can sleep. Then treat us all with Ovex. Lily had them too last time. I found 2-4 tiny white worms in her nappy each morning (dead).
I do all the showers in the omorning, washing bedclothes stuff as well to break the cycle

Gosh, don't my kids sound delightful

We have treated ours once when they started eating seriously monstrous amounts x
