A member asked:

My daughter have very small white thread like worms that are smaller 1/4 inch. what kind might they be n what do i do about it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably pinworms: You can see your doctor and give a stool sample to identify them. Or send a picture to your doctor of them. You could also take pin-x over the counter to treat them and if they recur then be seen.
