Worming :)

[Oorki Galoorki]

So i have found some lovely little worms in DD, i bought the chocolate combantrin(SP) and we all had it this morning. i am washing all our bedding in HOT water and will vaccum and mop the floors later, i also wormed one cat the other week and wormed the other this morning(he isnt very affectiionate when the kids are around)...
what i want to know is..
do i keep the kids away from others now they have been treated?
do i inform kindy, cc that there has been worms in the house?
what happens to the worms? will they be pooed out all dead or will the just disappear?
what else should i do?

as you can tell i have never had to deal with worms before!

This has some good info.
Ive been meaning to work DS as a preventative measure, i really should do it.

They generally come out themselves in their poop and what nat over the next few days! I don't keep the kids apart... I just let them go... and as far as I'm aware you don't have to notify schools/daycares etc that your kids have had them.

But you do have to do a follow up treatment in two weeks time, as the eggs take 2 weeks to hatch, so if any or left behind they hatch and there's a second batch iykwim!
