A member asked:
I am quite convinced i have pinworms i am starting to have a ichy nose is it possible that they could have spread to my nose?

Pinworms: Pinworms are an only human parasite that lives in luxury in the large intestine & no where else. The fertile female crawls out the anus after periods of inactivity to lay eggs in the folds of the anal cleft. The glue like substance they are laid in is irritating to most & encourages the scratching that disburses the eggs. Any eggs you transferred to your nose would not hatch or live there.
