Parasitic Diseases Lectures #22: Pinworm

Dickson and Daniel discuss pinworm infection caused by Enterobius vermicularis.

[@inu3112]

The psychiatric effects of pinworms are extremely underreported/under researched.

[@buhundbeliever7169]

Rage is a big one! & a general lack of self-control & inability to self-soothe and self-regulate. Those stick out from an ex (he had them for yrs unknowingly, we moved in together & i got them too). Personally I lost interestq in my passions and hobbies, developed apathy (not normal, usually i am hard working and enjoy challenging myself) and developed OCD tendencies around cleaning/interior arrangements. Good point, made me think more about it.

[@deniselay3881]

You can get those tendencies when you get them because they are hard to get rid of if you stay in the same place where you got them and its mortifying to the mind especially if they are there for a long period of time

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

Interesting point.. I know tomorrow I will be taking treatment medication for this. I have become very apathetic or lethargic lately. Sometimes it feels difficult to do things.. I become winded a bit easily. Also maybe a slight case of hypochondria. It really feels like my abdomen is attacking itself. I'm sure I'll be stuck in germaphobe mode after this. Update: I lived with a family that didn’t give two shi-s about most things. Living their lifestyle made me realize. Not everything should impact your mental health so easily. Just deal with it, now I’m healthy :)

Done gave me the damn ptsd. Not even kidding.

[@sandrao1213]

Yes! Extremely traumatic

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

It worries me so many people have not bought a $5 treatment for this parasitic infection.. If you feel it didn't work then do it again after 3 weeks.. and again. Clean ALL your fabrics, bedding, clothes, etc. Clean all surfaces from bathroom and kitchen. Wash hands like you mean it. Change clothing daily. Shower daily. Wish everyone a good recovery!

[@sandrao1213]

It's actually around 8 to $10 the generic and $12 for the name brand if not more CVS has it for $16 they are robbing people for a medication that should be handed out free to make sure that others don't get this I've never had anything like this and their entire lives but now cannot get rid of it because of somebody else's disgusting ways

Welp...I had diverticulitis with a couple months between flare-ups. I was only able to eat white rice and salt. I was wasting away and sure I was going to die. My daughter got pinworms and the whole family was treating. I crapped worms and my diverticulitis went away. I can eat, I can poop, and I'm gaining weight. Oooo....but no one ever did a case study so it can't true. The medical system failed me, and so many other people. Pompous narcissists.

My little cat got worms so bad, but I didn’t know what it was….vet told me it was some incurable disease…he didn’t even mention worms. Then some time later I realized my chronic anemia was was a result of same infection. It’s VERY difficult to prevent reinfection after treatment.

[@dorisbrinkerhoff8124]

oh my cat? oh thank you

[@aWomanFreed]

@@dorisbrinkerhoff8124 I don’t think my cat gave me the worms…I had anemia all my life way before I ever had cats. It was just his loss that got me to connect the dots that neither vets nor MDs are ever looking for parasites as a cause of illness.

[@0othatoneo0]

this video is 2 years old . 2 hours ago i was hospital i have an itchy bottom . im 30 years old father i thought it is Hemorrhoids . in tell the doctor showed me the worm and it is 12 pm and my bottom soo itchy . it unbelievable that small worm hurts that much

yes they do.

[@starlynn57]

Well!

[@liviamccaffrey6762]

Hello and thank you for these videos. I believe I am struggling with a pinworn infestation. But there are some issues that are making me wonder if its something more. I am wondering if you had time to talk to me for a few minutes and possibly apply some of your expertise. I have been to several doctors. Finally the 4th one diagnosed the pinworm. But only by my symptoms not samples.

[@kristathompson2060]

You can get it from eating contaminated food as an adult ...I git mine from eating a chicken pie from lidl even after it was cooked thoroughly..I actually believe it was chicken but road kill in my pie

[@aliasadullah1000]

Imagine having itching in adulthood and watching this video ✋🏻

[@ReconnectWebinarsCrisRowan]

Symptoms are consistent with pinworm in both anal and vaginal areas, but repeated paddle tests and stool tests are all negative for worms and ova, and is non-responsive to 4 wks Albendazole with 2 wks Ivermectin. Seeing infectious disease specialist who has referred to GI and OBGYN. Any comments?

[@aaronssweetstuff6666]

I think for some reason youre testing negative but you must have them imo , i think youre continually being reinfected by another source , i too have no results but i did test positive ive tried a huge amount of drugs and herbs but i cant get rid of them because i cant get everyone on the medicine the doctor will not treat us all together they want to capitalize on max profit.

[@nananunn8795]

Ive taken all kinds of meds even abenzole dont work

[@nananunn8795]

Yea tryed every thing nothings working. Help please going crazy

[@nettiemarie2556]

Ive got pinworms. Drs never really believed I needed more than 4 albenza pills so I researched this and if you have a resistant case as I do, you will need to take 400 mg albenza x 21 days and then 10 days off, for atleast 6 months. The dr wont likely give you all these so you would be best to see a kinesiologist who does a total body analysis and gives you a liquid remedy to take. The remedy will contain a normal colon /intestine frequency so the parasite has no choice But to die off. The catch: While you take this remedy, you must balance your pH to 7.3 or so. If you are on the acidic side, these will not rebuke. Parasites are jerks in that they can lay dormant in stool samples, causing them to turn out negative so don't waste your precious time or $$ on them. Invest in alot of vegetables and egg whites instrad so you can balance the pH and get healthy again!! Blessings, hang in there, my God is able and is the Healer 🙏☝💓

Eggs can last 2-3 weeks on clothing or fabric. 😳

[@deniselay3881]

If you get rid of your clothes or put bleach in your wash every time you wash that should keep them away or buy new clothes as well but if you live in a very hot climate it should be easier to get rid of them because they are light sensitive and usually only like to live in cold damp and dark places

Luckily, I didn't get this as a child at least not to mine nor my mother & grandparents' knowledge. Adults can still get pinworm though.

Pyrantel pamoate is absolutely disgusting. It’s banana-flavored, thick, chalky, goop which burns like a shot of whiskey and leaves an aftertaste for an hour. It also makes me immediately feel nauseous and miserable for at least another 4-5 hours. Because it’s so dreadful, I’ve been avoiding the critical follow-up dosing, so I’ve been in a miserable monthly pattern for like 6 months now lol. After my latest reinfection, I’m following it up at least twice… I’m so sick of this.
