Do I need to be treated if there has been a case of pinworm in the classroom where I teach?

Question

Hello, I work in a school environment and I have just received a letter about a case of Oxyurosis in the class where I work. I happen to be scared because I stayed home today because I had nausea and diarrhea last night. I wonder if it could be related, I don't have an itch. Hello, this is difficult because I live alone. Is there any other way to find out?

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question! The detection of worms is very simple to do at home In the middle of the night, with a flashlight, you can check your anus for worms. If you see worms, or someone else in the house, I invite you to consult your pharmacist who will complete the consultation. Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist You can also use the tape technique: in the middle of the night, you can use a tape and apply it to the anus to see if there are worms on it.
