A member asked:
2 more q. does my fam have to be treated for pinworms if theyre not experiencing symptoms?& can i be infected again during meds or will they die too

Pinworms: It is best to treat the family even if they are not showing symptoms. Because they can get the pinworm eggs under their nails to start the lifecycle of the pinworm all over again.
