Try a shot of whiskey.  
No, in your mouth.  
OK? Now another.  
Now another.

Better yet?

And don’t worry, most times there’s nothing you can do, so at least now you’ll die smiling 😃

IIRC, pinworms crawl out of the anus at night to lay eggs, then return. It’s supposed to itch like crazy so as you scratch, you pick up the eggs with your nails and inadvertantly ingest them…starting the whole process over.

Fortunately, all you need is some drugs.

And don’t suck your fingers after scratching your asshole.

I work with Developmentally Disabled people. A few of the ladies I work with have _just_ come up with pinworms. YIKES!

I was the lucky one that had to do what you do to find out if someone has pinworms. I had to tape their buttocks together at bedtime. Apparently the pinworms will get caught on the tape (or the eggs will.) Well, the worms didn’t get caught on the tape, but another staff person checked their buttocks in the morning, and sure enough, the little white buggers were curled up near their anus. This has got to be _THE_ grossest thing ever!!!

All of the staff at work are freaked out. We all imagine that we now have them. I have no idea if I have them (I have no symptoms, and I am always pretty careful about washing my hands while at work.) However, I have just de-wormed myself, “just in case”. I feel much better about it now.

There in an over-the-counter medications for pinworms. It’s a liquid, you take one or two doses. You might want to give that a shot. The thought of those nastly little things crawling up your butt…(shudder) Look up “pinworms” on the web. There is a lot of information about them. (I know, I’ve been a little pinworm-obsessed of late…)

(My sister told me if I start scooting my butt along her carpet, she’s kicking me out… She’s such a bitch!)

I have to comment, Whammo - at least _ **I** _ have some excuse (if indeed I ever had pinworms) - my unusual job. But if it turns out that you have pinworms, HOW did you get them? Usually you get them from digging at your butt and then putting your fingers to your mouth, or messing with dirt or poop, and then putting your fingers to your mouth. Yikes!

My mom used to worry about those worms… so she would bake all of our library books before we were allowed to read them to kill any possible eggs.

After some suspect kids played with our toys one time she baked those too. My sister’s chatty cathy did not do well in the oven. She came out with ‘burger king’ grill marks on the side of her head and when you pulled the little string to make her talk she made exorcist-ish noises.

OMG, that’s friggin funny. I absolutely deplore any type of dolls for reasons I shan’t go into. And that, my friend, is hilarious.

Oh yeah. My new sig. 😃

It is pretty funny. She also baked my little ‘Dorothy’ from the Wizard of Oz doll and her braids shrunk and stuck straight out. I was _really_ upset about it.

And thank you for my new sig line. I don’t know if dopers only use quotes directed toward them – but this one is too funny.

I had a flashback to my best high school buddy We wanted to start a punk band but couldn’t decide to name it his choice of “the devil’s ass” or mine, “painful rectal itch.” That’s a bit disturbing. I thought I was a titty man, not an ass man.
