Mar1a Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Chickens, yes, children maybe I hate worming week. I just give them marriages layers pellets that contain flubenvet. It's torture for me not to give them any treats but it's worth it after the five days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clucker1 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'd look up thread worms if I were you. I only treated my children when they needed treating, this was only when they were young and at school sharing the toilets with everyone else. My worst experience was when they had nits and worms at the same time, Aagh!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 How would i know if my kids have worms?? Is it if they have them in poo or bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooksRCute Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Your local pharmacy' will have leaflets about this issue, I wouldn't advise treating unless you have reason to believe you have an infestation, this can lead to treatment resistance. It's pretty easy to recognise the symptoms of most common worms in humans (UK), and also easy to treat. Good hygiene or not it's always best to be vigilant, as transmission of infection, bacteria, worm eggs ect is generally caused through someone else's poor hygiene regardless of how keen yours is!!

The Dogmother Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Exactly! Besides, smaller children always have their hands in their mouths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 very itchy bottom, especially at night. My goddaughter used to get them because she sucked her thumb, then the whole family had to be treated. No side effects of medicine though. I've got 4 grown up children who have never had them. I think I've/they've just been lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
