What do pinworms look like?

Question

Can't find any photos online. I'm concerned my 1 yr old might have them bc when I change her diaper sometimes there is white stuff on her anal area. Sometimes it looks like lint from the diaper. She goes to the doctor in a couple days. Jw if anyone knows?

Answer

There will be worms in and on the poop, you can also check at night time with a flash light. The worms Are nocturnal and actually come out of the butt at night to lay eggs. Kinda gross, I know. My daughter had them at age 10, we saw worms on her poop and they were moving. We washed sheets and treated everyone with pinworm meds once then again in two weeks.

Answer

They look kind of like grains of rice. Check her when she’s sleeping at night. That’s when they like to come out and lay their eggs outside of the anal opening. 
I worked at a library for a couple years and caught them from handling children’s books. Make sure to wash you hands very well.
