Help spread the word, not the worm

Fred Worm’s Threadworm Site is an online resource for schools, parents and healthcare professionals, providing information, advice and resources about this very common, but little talked about condition.

Threadworms, also known as pinworms, can easily go undetected because the signs are difficult to see. It’s now time for threadworms to come out of the closet and receive the attention they deserve!

Our new look site is now divided into four sections for quick access to the appropriate information. We have also introduced a new Feedback section where you can express your opinions and share any ideas you have about dealing with threadworms.

We'd love to hear from you!
