Great care should be taken to shower daily, and wash hands before every meal to avoid re-infection. All infected materials (pajamas, bedclothes, and underwear) should be washed with soap and hot water daily. Avoid scratching the infected area around the anus. This can contaminate your fingers and everything else that you touch afterwards. Keep your hands and fingers away from your nose and mouth unless they are freshly washed. Carry out these measures while family members are being treated for pinworms. | |||

Overview
Great care should be taken to shower daily, and wash hands before every meal to avoid re-infection. All infected materials (pajamas, bedclothes, and underwear) should be washed with soap and hot water daily. Avoid scratching the infected area around the anus. This can contaminate your fingers and everything else that you touch afterwards. Keep your hands and fingers away from your nose and mouth unless they are freshly washed. Carry out these measures while family members are being treated for pinworms.
