Attention to those who have children at home!
If your child is sleeping at night.
I always say that my butt is itchy.
Keep scratching your ass.
Don't worry. Maybe it's not that he's playful or dishonest in his sleep.
Rather, it's a species called pinworm.
* Ranger is playing tricks!
The itchy butt is because of pinworms.
Will crawl out at night to lay eggs.
According to the results of the 2018 national surveillance of pinworm infection in children aged 3 to 9 years, the national rate of pinworm infection in children was 246%, 456 per cent, and in some rural areas, the infection rate among children can be as high as 20 per cent!
1Why do I get infected with pinworms?
Pinworms are intestinal parasites, and if a child comes into contact with the eggs, they can easily eat them without washing their hands or sucking their fingers.
A pinworm female can lay 5,000 to 17,000 eggs, and if a child in kindergarten or at home is infected with pinworm and contaminates toys and daily necessities, other children are likely to be infected.
Therefore, pinworm disease has the characteristics of children's collective institutional clustering and family clustering.
2What are the symptoms after infection?
The most common symptoms of pinworm infection include itching, irritability, grinding teeth at night, loss of appetite, weight loss, etc.
However, because pinworms can be ectopic and parasitic, pinworm appendicitis may sometimes occur, and in girls there may be inflammation of the genitourinary system. An 11-year-old girl was infected with pinworms that caused appendicitis.
3How do I know if my child is infected with pinworms?
If the child has unexplained itching symptoms, it is necessary to pay attention to the investigation for pinworm infection.

4. Pinworm disease can be prevented and cured, not terrible!
