My co-cook noticed pinworms in herself. Therefore, should me and my partner also take the drug from the pharmacy even if we have not noticed any symptoms in ourselves so far?

When observing parasites in one of the household members, it is recommended to prophylactically take antiparasosidic drugs in the remaining people sharing the farm, even if they do not show signs of infection. This is associated with the ease of transmission of microorganisms, e.g. through the consumption of inaccurately washed vegetables and fruits, contaminated water, raw meat; using the same hairbrush or towel as an infected person. The first-line drug for the treatment and prevention of pinworm is Pyrantel, available without a prescription in the drug Pyrantelum Owix: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/65515/pyrantelum-owix-tabletki/apteki?pvid=17674#internetowe I recommend the entry: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/wszy-owsiki-i-inne-przedszkolne-pasozyty
