A member asked:
Hi docs, would a pinworm infection go away with a certain diet alone and nothing else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not safe: Ingestion of herbs, foods, chemicals or other substances that could and would kill worms would also likely be very unhealthy and potentially dangerous to the host. Oral medications available through your doctor's office are safe, simple, effective and easy to use.
