Question: I need a pinworms natural remedy and was hoping you would have some advice. Thank you very much.

Answer: Pinworms natural remedies are less effective than medication to treat a pinworm infection. Pinworm infection is the most common type of roundworm infection in the United States. The pinworm is a parasite that is usually introduced to your body after you have eaten pinworm larvae.

A person may have a pinworm infection for years before they become aware of it. The parasite migrates to the intestine. The pinworm then lays eggs around the anus. On occasion a pinworm will be seen after you use the bathroom of in the toilet.

Some people will experience symptoms from their pinworm infection. These include

• Itching of the anal or vaginal area
• insomnia, irritability, and restlessness
• intermittent abdominal pain and nausea

Sometimes a pinworm infection can be so severe that the infected person will begin to lose weight. In these cases there may be hundreds of worms in the intestine and they will take essential nutrients form your food.

If you insist on trying a home remedy we have found one for you, but would still rather you saw a doctor and took medication.

Mix a bag of ground pumpkin seeds with honey and water until you have a nice thick consistency. Eat the mixture three times a day for seven days. We have heard from more than one reader about this, but cannot emphasize enough that you will be better served by seeing your doctor over taking a pinworms natural remedy.
