Thought I had seen the last of these with my children grown up, but 'fraid not.Am presuming thats where they have come from. Took an Ovex tablet yesterday morning (and made hubby take one as well).

Whats the difference between dogs worms, tape worms, round worms and threadworms?

Have a look here http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/worms2.shtml and here http://www.mcneilhealth.co.uk/familyhealth/index_459_459_.html

Basically threadworms are only a human condition and can't be caught from animals - only other humans or the eggs can be picked up in the air or on surfaces.
