How do you get rid of worms without seeing a doctor?

How you get rid of worms depends greatly upon what kind of worms you think you or your pet may have. Pinworms are found only in humans and account for the largest percentage of intestinal worm infections in the U.S. Getting rid of pinworm isn't easy, but it can be done. To get rid of pinworms, you should wash your hands regularly to avoid ingesting pinworm eggs.
