Threadworms, or pinworms, typically die within a few hours to a few days after being exposed to appropriate treatment, such as medication like mebendazole or pyrantel pamoate. However, it's important to note that while the adult worms may die quickly, their eggs can survive in the environment for several weeks. To effectively eliminate the infection, it's crucial to follow the full course of treatment and maintain good hygiene practices to prevent reinfection.
