 ==Secondary Prevention==
-During the treatment time and two weeks after final  treatment, it is a good idea to avoid co-bathing and the reuse or sharing of washcloths. Showering may be preferred to avoid possible [[contamination]] of bath  water. Careful handling and frequent changing of underclothing, night clothes, towels, and bedding can help reduce [[infection]], reinfection, and environmental [[contamination]] with pinworm eggs. These items should be laundered in hot water, especially after each treatment of the infected person and after each usage of  washcloths until infection is cleared.
