Please find some information provided by our Public Health Nurse on threadworms.

Anyone can be infected by threadworms, but they're most common in tamariki of school age. Threadworms only live in people, so you can't get them from pets or other animals. They're mostly spread between whānau members.

Threadworms can be prevented by good hygiene and hand washing and are also easily treatable.
