I recently had to worm my family too.

I was told by the pharmacist that breastfeeding women should not take any worming medication as it is too harsh for little bubba's, even though they would probably only get a small amount. It's just not worth the risk.

I was also told that although the packet says for adults and children to be wormed together, in about 90% of cases it is only the children who would actually have the worms so the chance of you being infected isn't that high anyway. Not sure if this is true or not but it's just what I was told by the pharmacist.

Also - the worms that people have are totally different from the worms that animals have. If you have worms the same time as your pet - it is purely conincidental. It would not be the same type of worms. But good practice to worm all living things at the same time anyway
