Your curiosity seems to be killing you...*insert evil laugh* I have you all in the palm of my hand.............

As for the worms, it is a preventative thing....you worm them every 6-12 months to prevent them getting 'itchy bums' from having worms (I think thread worm and not sure about what others). Are you all telling me that no other nationality gets this situation with kids?? Like when they play with pets or dig around in the dirt???????

Mum used to worm us kids regularly! Symptoms of worms in kids are (Of course-the itchy bum), increased appetite; restless sleep;irritability and in worse case scenario or long term infestation...weight loss and malnutrition!

So come on, I can't beleive that Oz is the only place where this happens..or are our kids just grubby little vegemites afterall???? Hmm, there is possibly an element of truth in that! *urgh*

Treatment is a yummy chocolate medication that the whole family has to have! (And you have to clean everything and do the pets as well) Needless to say, I'm glad it ain't a regular gig!

Off to work now (kids in Day Care) ho hum!! Check in with you later for more entertainment and merriment with the Dos Gatos Gang!

No, my sisters and I got them when we were little. Sounds like the same ones! I think we were only "wormed" once, though. :H Sounds quite labor intensive, so I'm glad you don't have to do it often. :h

I remember my MIL talking about them. She has a cleaning fetish, though. I sometimes think I'd like a nice, big, tapeworm. Then I could eat anything I wanted! :H

Worms affecting people in Australia
Worldwide there are many worms that can affect humans, but in most parts of Australia only the threadworm, (Enterobius vermicularis) is common.
Adults as well as children can get threadworms.
About one month after the egg of the threadworm is swallowed, the adult worm comes out of the child's bottom (anus) and lays her eggs on the skin around the opening causing very bad itching. Scratching or not washing hands after going to the toilet can result in the eggs being carried on the hands back to the mouth, when another cycle of worm production begins.
The eggs can also be moved onto clothing, bedding, and other surfaces, where other people can pick them up. The eggs can survive up to 2 weeks on surfaces.
Adult worms can live for up to 6 weeks, but people can be re-infested even while they have worms if they swallow more of the eggs.
Dogs or cats do not get threadworms, so pets do not cause threadworm infections in humans.
However children can get different worms from animals, so it is important to 'worm' animals regularly for their own health and for the health of the family.
Human infestation with other worms such as roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms (including the hydatid tapeworm) is not common in Australia.

[SIZE=4]Fen - Thank you so much for my wonderful dinner. Absolutely delicious and just what I needed today.
Of course, I could have done without the dinner conversation of worms & more worms.
But, if you can't beat them, then I guess you have to join them.....here is a new specimen of worm..................

Yup, the walking germ is staying home from work. I intend to to drug him regularly.
Very scary yard, Tony!

OK I don't mean to brag, but we've got HEAD LICE here. And the treatment for them isn't yummy chocolate either!!!


(And if anyone cares to know a natural treatment that works feel free to ask me!)

Maybe put those daisy fleabane plants in your kid's hair? Chrysanthemums? Otherwise, it's that noxious shampoo.

OR, coat your kid's heads in a thick layer of vaseline, thus starving the lice of oxygen? Of course, getting the vaseline off their heads will produce another issue.

Glad you liked your dinner, Nora! Mrs. Fennel liked it so much, she's coming home for lunch today.

Oh, and Jabba the Hutt always freaked me out!

[NoraC]

Meet Me At Dos Gatos

DING, DING, DING - Fennel got the answer. It is Jabba the hut! NOT a penis!!!

And - I do want to know about the lice treatment!!! I remember when my son had it and of course then I got it. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!!! :upset: It was awful.
