What Is Pinworm Infection?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. Prevention
It is all but impossible to be completely safe from pinworm infections. We can still reduce our chances of getting it, however. This largely means regularly cleaning surfaces that pinworm eggs might be attached to. Personal hygiene is also very important.
It is especially important to wash in the mornings, and showers are preferable to bathing where prevention of pinworm infestations is concerned. You should also be sure to change bed linen regularly as well as wearing clean underwear every day. Hot water should be used for washing clothing and linen, and it should also be dried on a high heat.
