How to Cure Pinworms Without Medicine

Ranging from tiny amoebas to big parasites, parasitic worms can be detected both by the naked eyes and by microscopes. Pinworm (enterobius vermicularis) is the common worm found in infections affecting kids. Symptoms of the presence of this worm include itching in the anal regions, digestive issues, insomnia and nervousness. Pinworms ingested in some form get excreted out of the body through the anal opening. These worms lay eggs in the outer environment that can be carried to any other individual on contact.
