Germs, parasites and worms Oh gross.

well I always knew that kids were a breeding ground for germs and things I mean really how can they not be with the stuff they will put in their mouth without even thinking. And I should of known when the big started preschool this year it would be worse and sure enough she has come home with colds and flus spread it to the rest of us, ok that's fine I have cold medicine and maybe I do like how snuggly they are when they are sick. but this is a whole new thing, maybe even vomit inducing I know I almost did when I read about it.

When my dad dropped the big off last night he mentioned to me about a notice posted at her school about a confirmed case of the pinwheel worm my first thought was oh great here comes more colds etc, so after the kids were in bed I broke out my trusty laptop and decided to google the pinwheel worm just to have an idea of what I am in for if she were to contract it (which btw is VERY likely) and I almost threw up when I read about it. Apparently it is a tiny worm that lives in your intestine, well for a short while then it travels to your rectum and lives, at night this thing will crawl out of your ass hole and lay about 10,000 eggs all around your anus then crawls back in and dies, sounds yummy so far huh. well it is spread by the infected scratching said anus and getting the eggs which aren't visible btw under their finger nails and then by touching everything in sight like kids do the eggs are trasnfered and picked up so yup pretty much everyone will get it. and the eggs are infectious for up to three weeks....ick ick ick. so now I get to check the big ones next shit for worms to see if she does have them, but in the mean time i get to clean my house top to bottom and wash everything in sight. Yup cuz that's what I wanted to do today.
Now if you will all excuse me I am going to go vomit. Join me won't you?
