For the past three years, I have been suffering from pin worms. I've been deworming myself everything 6 months, cleaning linens and bedsheets but no results yet. I've started loosing weight as well. What might be a definitive cure?

Please note the treatment for pinworms as follows - the main thing is hygiene: 1. Wash all bed linen, bedclothes (pajamas) and cuddly toys. Normal washing temperature is fine, but it needs to be well rinsed. 2. Vacuum the home thoroughly, especially the bedrooms. Vacuuming needs to be regular and thorough throughout the six-week period. 3. Damp-dust surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom, washing the cloth often in hot water. Do this regularly throughout the period. 4. Do not shake things that may have eggs on them, such as clothing, pajamas, bed lined or towels. 5. Do not eat in the bedroom. There is a risk of swallowing eggs that have shaken off the bedclothes. 6. Make sure everybody's fingernails are cut short. 7. Refrain from nail biting and finger sucking. This may not be easy if there are small children in the house. 8. Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently, and scrub under your fingernails. Before eating, after going to the toilet, and after changing diapers (nappies) make sure you wash your hands. 9. At night wear close-fitting underwear. Change your underwear every morning. 10. Some people say that cotton gloves may help prevent scratching during sleep. 11. Have a bath or shower regularly, thoroughly cleaning your body, paying particular attention to your anal and vaginal (females) areas. 12. Do not share towels or face flannels. 13. Toothbrushes should be kept in a closed cupboard and rinsed well before use.
