hi there,

almost every time i have a stool, i am now noticing small, tiny white things, maybe 7 or 8 of them...most of them really small, and others just slightly larger. they can't be food, as they dont look like anything i ate...and these last few weeks are the first time ive noticed them...

what could this be?

lately i've been feeling a lot more fatigued than usual, and i dont know why.

thanks.

Possible pin worms. Is your anus itchy at night?

They sound very much like thread worms- they are easily treatable and you can buy a drug to get rif of the blighters over the counter of a pharamacy. Make sure that you are scruplious in your personal hygeine, washing your hands and scrubbing your nails after every visit to the loo. They also reccomend having a bath as soon as you get up in the morning to remove the ova laid by the worms in the night.

oh, the whole family should be treated too...

Do you have a name for medicine to take care of thread worms? I think I have them as the last few days I've notices gobs of thready white looking things in my stool. I appreciate any information about this and in keeping parasite free in general. A friend of mine years ago made some sort of tincture of 80 proof vodka and black walnuts that she claimed taking a few teaspoons a day would keep her free from parasites. Anyone hear of this?
