Worming the family....but not me

[Snoopea]

Hi, I'm also unable to worm myself due to being pregnant. I worm my family every 2 to 3months unless a complaint is made earlier then I worm straight away and repeat after a week. I have pets at home that in contact with my kids and they are all wormed monthly as well. I was told to increase the garlic intake in my diet as it acts as a natural remedy to repel worms, although I don't think I've ever had them. I don't think there are any products on the market for use while breastfeeding, and young children can't be treated until they reach the age of two, if you suspect before this age you need to consult a doctor.
Hope this helps!!

We worm every 3 months and at the same time do all the animals because it is easier to remember that way

At the same time I wash all the bedding and towels and make sure that the clothes washing is up to date.

Very interesting people, thanks for the replies.
Thankfully none of us have had worms ( well not that im aware of any how) its just the fact that we have so many animals and we all handle them that i thought it a good idea to start again. Im disappointed that i cant do myself only for peace of mind but if everyone around me is done then myself and DD should be pretty right. Even though i know you cant eradicate (s) every worm as they have different life cycles its better than not at all.

Thanks again for all your replies.
