I was on a course of Vernox for 6 weeks, 3 tablets. This time I have some albenza. Know anything about that? Did thorough washing during and after treatment but think I was re-exposed DURING treatment. How could a test be wrong?

sounds like it might be pin worms and the eggs may hatch 2 to 3 weeks later, that is one reason you need to re-treat 2 weeks later. The other is simply they are highly contagious, and you can NOT see their eggs, you can inhales them by accident very easily. They are extremely common in the south where I live. Patti

Not sure why the test was wrong, but I too have recently had a bout with these little demons. I asked at the veterinarian's office if I could get them from a pet, and they said, YES. My bf suspects his dog has them, but she tested negative as well, but seems to have them anyway. If you have a pet, have them treated as well. Many people have them and have no symptoms, but those who do, should get treated. I live in the very deep south where it stays above 75 degrees farenheit most of the year and it is humid, therefore the pin worms live here in higher numbers. You might also ask the vet how you might avoid contact/get rid of them, and you do know others in your home should be treated, right, anyone in your home has to under go treatment, as they will re-infect you if they aren't.

Thanks patti. No pets but did get reinfected after a week , I think, of the last dose. Am going to try albenza now, hope that works. I hope I jjust ender estimated the creatures. How horrid. If you know anything about this med Albenza let me know.
albenza is supposed to be best med for it, I took the REESE'S pin worm med twice, didn't have insurance so just thanked God that there was something over the counter to treat it. I seem to be ok, but still watching for symptoms. I should have insurance soon, plus I know I ca re-treat with the Reese's if I have to.
