What are threadworms?
Threadworms are very small parasitic worms that can infect the large intestine and they are particularly common in children under the age of 10.
They can spread easily and affect anyone, especially if proper hand hygiene isn’t practised after using the toilet.
Threadworms often go unnoticed, but they may cause itching around the anus or vagina, particularly at night.
Sometimes you can spot threadworms on bed sheets or in stools - they look like threads of white cotton and measure about 1cm long.

What is threadworm?
Threadworm, which is also known as pinworm, is an uncomfortable condition that’s usually more common in children than adults.
It happens when your large intestine becomes infected with little, parasitic threadworms, making you feel uncomfortable and itchy.
You may not notice any symptoms right away, but if you or your child have threadworm then you may wake up more at night, or notice the worms in your poo.
