Hi, I Just Found Out That I Was Likely Exposed
Hi,
I just found out that I was likely exposed to pinworms six weeks ago. I have 2 small children at home, and while I have not noticed any symptoms in myself, today my daughter had a few strange diapers and I'm wondering if she may have gotten them. I read that food grade diatomaceous earth will rid them, and I'm considering preemptive treatment since I'm unsure if we actually caught them, or trying it if we find out that we are positive. Is "food grade" DE safe to consume daily?
