Involves taking a single dose of mebendazole or albendazole to kill the worms. If necessary, another dose can be taken after 2 weeks, but it is not killing the eggs (it can live outside the body for up to 2 weeks). Do the following things to stop becoming infected again:
- Every morning have bathed or shower
- Regularly wash your hands and encourage children to wash hands, and scrub under fingernails
- Rinse toothbrushes before using them
- Avoid sharing towels or flannels
- Maintain fingernails short and avoid bite nails or suck thumbs and fingers
- Disinfect kitchen and bathroom surfaces
- Wash sleepwear, sheets, towels, and soft toys
- Vacuum and dust with a damp cloth
- Children wear underwear at night (change it in the morning)
- Do not shake clothing or bedding, to prevent eggs landing on other surfaces
