How to get rid of threadworms

How to get rid of threadworms
Average rating: 4 out of 5 star rating

My mum told me that carrots are toxic to worms, so if your kids have them, get them to drink a large glass of carrot juice every day, or put plenty of carrots on their plate at lunch and dinner, and that should get rid of threadworms.

My whole family got threadworms and it was a struggle forcing medicine down my younger kids' throats. Ovex Suspension was good though as it tastes of banana, (£5.89 for 30ml at www.chemistdirect.co.uk)
