How to avoid getting threadworms

* A couple of children in my son’s class in primary school have been diagnosed with threadworms.

I really don’t want him to pick this up and pass on to the rest of the family. Is there anything I can do?

>>Threadworms are a common infection particularly in children. Threadworms are small, white, thread-like worms between 2mm and 13mm in length and live in the gut for five to six weeks and then die.
