Pinworms: pinworms are spread by fecal oral route make sure that ALL in the family are treated at the same time.also strict handwashing with antiseptic soap after going to the toilet. when cooking make sure you use use good hand washing .and wash all the fruits and vegetables before eating!! wash even your clothing in a hot cycle with a strong detergent
