Threadworm :: Vaseline And Garlic Will Cure Worms?
Jun 28, 2014
I found thread worms last night and was up all night with them, I had to go to work at 7am this morning so I'm very irritable. I've been looking after my brother's son for the past 2 weeks so I think maybe that's how I've got them. I heard that vaseline is a good solution, (applying it to your anus) I was wondering if the females can't get out of your anus to lay their eggs due to the vaseline, where will they lay them? I heard that they tend to lay them inside of you if you cover your anus in vaseline or pop a garlic clove up your back passage, so they start their life cycle again, is this true? I'm on the Meb tablets and am fed up of waiting for them to go, me and my boyfriend are going on holidays in 5 days and I don't want to be riddled with worms.

Have had thread worms on and off. They are a nuisance but are of no ill effect apart from an itchy rear end! I have used Pripsen which has worked well and another form of tablet, the name of which escapes me, but the chemist recommended it when I asked for Pripsen. I am a businessman and list personal hygiene as very important, but these little beggars keep returning every now and again. Just keep taking the tablets!

I have been fighting back and forth with myself whether or not I have thread worms. I've gone to great extents to disinfect my house, scrubbing down everything, changing sheets, getting rid of dust, washing loads of clothing.
I know a common symptom is "itching" at night. I've been getting great sleeps, not itchy at all in the night.
What I am worried about is sometimes I feel a wiggling sensation close to the anus. This happens once in awhile. Yesterday it happened twice, about mid day.
I've done the worm tape test, assessed my stool, and haven't seen any sign of them.
I was itchy yesterday afternoon although I currently have my period and often find that I feel a bit itchy whenever I have my period.

I hate to think I might not be able to ever truly get rid of these pinworms. It started around October of 2014 where my butt was itchy and thought it couldn't be normal since it happened almost every night. I went to the Dr and explained to him what was happening and even said to him that maybe it was parasites. I didn't know at the time if it was or not but being from a Hispanic culture where if your butt is itchy you assume it's parasites. The Dr just said it was normal that some people had an itchy anus and gave me some cream to put on that area. Fast forward to march where I had to go back in because it didn't stop and had another Dr check and said maybe it was hemorroides so I was prescribed something for that. Then the itchiness came back and I FELT something squirm in my butt I was horrified, I checked and yup, it was a pinworm. I went back to the Dr and assured her I had worms so she prescribed me some pills. I toOK one already and am suppose to take another in 2 weeks. But the itchiness is horrible, I have kids who sometimes stay at their father's house and feel horrible that if they have them then the bed sheets or anything else might be infected. I told him to wash everything and explained how important it was, but he won't do the whole cleaning every day thing. I have washed all my sheets and towels and kids stuffed animals and had my carpet washed and everything but I work and go the class at night and can't wash every single day the way it's suggested. I've been changing underwear and washing daily and going crazy with hand sanitizer and lysol but I read lysol doesn't do anything. I was spraying lysol ever day and night all over my house but I guess that does nothing? I was wondering if maybe rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle might help instead? I need to know how else to keep the house clean if I cant wash the sheets daily. I am going insane. I want to get rid of these little monsters!! My mom told me to take a garlic clove and grind it up with a bit of this liquor called Aguardiente which is like liquorice but just a few drops and eat that early on the morning like 4 am or 5 am before I ate anything else, that what her grandma gave her when she was a young girl to prevent and get rid of parasites.

I am pretty sure that I have a parasite infection. The simple truth is that I feel bad about it, and don't want to turn up at my doctor's office with worms. I think that there must be some natural cures, or herbs around for worms? What do you think is the best way to cure worms naturally?

It may be now that you are free of the actual worms that you are suffering from delusional parasitosis. I have read of many cases where the person suffers all the irritation but they do not have the worms.
It may be that you could benefit from some anti-depressants.
I have been taking them, and although my situation if not the same as yours, I have really benefited from the.
No sympathy from the doctor because the swabs came back negative, and he felt that I should be grateful for the result that the anti-depressants gave me.
I will however, in the future when I have given my body a rest from both medication and 'so called' herbal remedies, I will try again.
As you have stated no-one understand the constant itching and irritation, and they have little sympathy.

I am new to using urethral sounds recreationally. I have read on several sounding websites that using Vaseline as a lubricant is discouraged, but no one states the reason.
Why can't I use Vaseline as a urethral lubricant?

I have had enough. I have had these for 15 years now, which started after surgery and was pumped full of drugs for pain relief and ended up really constipated, which I am so angry about. Since then I have suffered and does not take much to set them off. I use fybogel and vaseline to aid things which is great but every now and then they flare up. It often happens after a holiday, as is the case this time. It is difficult eating a high fibre diet at friends and whilst I take fybogel with me I can get lazy taking them. This time it is very painful and am in a vicious circle of going through this a few times a year or going to see someone about it. I am dreading them saying I need surgery. I have 2 external (well, certainly one, and one internal but that is not a problem). The GP gave me diosmine the last time I went but need assurance these will clear up. I am going on a walking holiday this week which is going to be hellish as walking irritates them. I am using vaseline, germoloids cream and witch hazel so can do no more. Ibuprofen works well for the pain but says paracetamol is better as ibuprofen can create problems with bleeding?

I've had worms since last September which is almost 7 months. The worms are white and small. I've take ovex about 10-15 times in the past 6 months. I've taken pripsen about 4 times. Neither have worked.
My nose has been itching and really bad itching anus which is depressing me. Could this be anything other than threadworms(which I've sent a stool sample and sticky tape test off and all come back negative).

I'm just trying to recover from a flare up and as I'm quite new to this horrible disease I am making some mistakes along the way. I've been on a low residue diet for two weeks & have been ok & felt fairly normal at the weekend, but then yesterday felt a bit constipated & bloated so I started taking my psyllium husk supplements & a spoonful of Aloe Vera juice, I only took two PH but this morning felt very sick again & had to rush to the loo so many times. I don't have any pain & the only way I can describe it is that my tummy feels very tender, so I think I've tried to rush things. I've been reading SO many different versions of how long it takes to recover & what you should be eating? I think I am fairly confident that I have been eating the right things so not sure why I ended up constipated? A few people have said that cranberry juice is really good & also that you should eat raw garlic as it acts as a natural antibiotic. I have read posts on here saying that you should avoid garlic.

One thing that I have noticed; a pattern in my prostate problems. Although, I am 64 years old; I enjoy lifting weights and I always like to do a very vigorous routine that attempts to build bulk. When I go all out , I notice my prostate get so swollen, it wakes me up at night and I can not sleep and it effects my urination. You know can not void completely, Retention. But I did notice if I weight lift regularly, the only thing that keeps the prostate from swelling is a certain kind of diet. I start out by cutting up garlic a small slices, raw . Then I slice up red onions, than I slice up raw ginger I mix it up and eat if with a small amount of dressing; very small. I notice if I do that my swollen prostate subsides and even I start feeling a sensation in my penis and am able to experience an erection. It is a hard diet to follow; because you always have a garlic odor and the vegetables are all rather bitter. But it works. If I do this ; coffee does not seem to bother me, and I am able to urinate sort of regularly although I do still retain urine in my bladder. I try to cut out bread at any time because I notice even if I lift; I gain weight and stomach fat within a week and it continues. It is difficult to do; to avoid bread; with no carbohydrates; it is rather uncomfortable but it works. Tell me what you think.

As a kid I think I was 11? I was once pooping and had wurms at some occurrence I even pood out something weird and round that at the time I was sure was an organ. The last thing I never knew really what it was. But as a kid I thought it was my kidney haha!
Anyway moving back to the wurms I have had some worms in my poo at that time. I never paid it attention and as I got older I kept checking but couldn't find any wurms! The thing is I don't know if this has healed itself or if the wurms are still active and if so what to do.
I read you can get some medication take that and after two weeks take it again (because of the eggs.) I also read putting petroleum jelly on the buttocks can kill the eggs. What should I do?
Let's say I have no wurms can it harm to take that certain medication? I am quite disgusted by it and my memory is not as good anymore I am almost 22 now. So I would like to put an end to the wurm infection if I should have one.
Can you have wurms? Even if they do not show up in your poop and can I then with 100% certainty say that I have wurms and what medication should I go for then?

I'm an 18 year old female and i'm not sure if I have threadworms or not. I first had them when I was 15. Don't know how or why because i'm a pretty clean person. A few years past and then two months ago I somehow contracted them again. So I went to the doctors got tablets did the ritual of deep cleaning my bedroom, changing bed sheets everyday and washing at least 3-4 times of day (because it makes me feel horrible knowing I have them) Everything was fine and then about, 3 weeks ago I got this terrible itch once again. I had some tablets left over from the last time so I took my first and nothing improve and i've taken the second literally half an hour ago.
What i'm confused about is, i've never actually seen these pesky things this time around because you can usually see them in your faeces etc. and i've also checked and seen nothing in that region. (sorry for the tmi.) I don't know, if it's just physiological and nothing's actually there? Because I have anxiety disorder and have for many years now.

This should be a title to a horror movie, not the title of a post,in another attempt to gain some insight to what is inhabiting the largest organ of my body.
Am I really delusional? the dermatologist diagnosed me as being a cracked egg,I'm a victim of domestic violence and therefore,my brain has made up an imaginary situation, to take me away from the emotional trauma...he says I may also be psychotic, I've mutilated my skin,picked and scraped away at myself,simply because I'm convinced that I am unworthy of my vulnerable protection,my defenseless,pink skin...NO.
I HAVE SOMETHING IN MY DAMN PORES.
That man....he scared me more than any violence, domestic or random! I'm looking to find a slight insight,other than Demodex,scabies,botfly,or the largest bodied Demodex...the one that causes mange in dogs. They're very small but damn it...they're very visible! I thought I had pinpointed where they hail from predominantly... I was wrong. I researched myself...tried different creams...permethrin, high dose cortisone,tea tree...still popping out of the open pores,sometimes sebum sometimes alone. Thread like but also grain of rice like,can't see them move,think they may be in my mouth as well. When I haven't slept for 24 hours( I work a lot) they bite(?) And it feels like I walked through fiberglass,then they come out! Yep,uninvited terrorists and I'm the host. What is this?

For several months I have been experiencing digestive problems such as excessive burping, trapped wind, constipation, reflux and a lot of undigested food in my stools, even though I have stopped eating gluten, dairy, seeds and nuts. I have also recently been diagnosed with iron deficiency and have also been experiencing sinus congestion, excessive mucus in my throat and anxiety. On the advice of a naturopath over the last few days I have been taking magnesium-oxide as a colon cleanse of sorts. Today in my stools and on the toilet paper I noticed quite a few black string looking things, they were quite thin like a piece of thread and were not moving. The smallest were 0.5 cm and one or two were maybe 1.5 cm. Am I right in thinking these must be some sort worm? Could they be thread worms even though they're black and I have no itching? Any suggestions? Would it be inappropriate to take some into my doctor to what they are? I travelled to South America last year so I guess I could have picked something up there.

for about/8 months I have been suffering from diarrhea and I have found on many occasions what appears to be worms. I went to Morocco in sept 14 but this started a couple of months before. Sometimes I have to go poo immediately after I've eaten. I have done a parasite test with my GP by sending a sample of my poo off with what I thought was worms in, but the test came back negative.

I am currently feeling a weird tingling throughout my body, mostly at the top of my stomach. It feels like something moving! it sometimes gives me nipping almost biting pains.I also have got a feeling that something is currently latched onto the back of my throat that I can not wash away or get rid of, it has been like this for the last 24 hours. Call me crazy but I feel that I can pull it back down into my stomach ( but something is still latched to my throat). After not concentrating on this I then get a bit lump at the back of my throat. I am almost Gipping with how close it is to my mouth.
After a lot of playing with my throat, swallowing I managed to "pull" one down into my stomach.I can now feel this moving around again, it feels like it is trying to get back up and at times nips. Swallowing is still hard and I just feel sick. Could you please tell me what you think it could be?
