Hi all
Just found out that a child who stayed at our house over the weekend has worms, she had taken tablet a couple of days before but obviously would not have been clear. If I'd known I would have been ultra careful and gone for separate hand towels and mad handwashing. I've washed the bed clothes and towels now but we shared hand towels in the downstairs loo.
I know when a child in school gets worms they don't insist everyone is treated but since it was at the house should I treat all of us including 3 year old DD? I'd rather catch it before it takes hold!!
Also where do I stop - I have a nanny who comes to house with her own child - should I get them treated?
I think we are pretty good about washing hands and so on but I know the eggs get in to the air and on surfaces.
I don't want to bother my GP with it but would really appreciate your advice!!
Thanks
Windy
