[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 1553843, member: 29023"] I think Mr Pot might have hit the nail on the head. Threadworms (sometimes called pinworms) are harmless but intensely irritating, and very common amongst primary age kids, Graphic warning ⚠️ They come out at night to lay their eggs just outside the anus, child scratches bum, eggs under fingernails, child puts fingers in mouth for some reason..you get the picture, it's a cyclical thing. Couple ways to check - when child has gone for a poo, threadworms are often visible wriggling around, they are like tiny pieces of white thread, hence the name. The other way is to check the area at night, that's when they're active. If it is worms, they're easily sorted, medicine can be bought over the counter. [/QUOTE]
