This treatment should be repeated within a week or so in order to destroy young worms, before they mature, which possibly have hatched from eggs left in the intestines. To relieve the itching in the rectum, injections with warm water in which garlic or onions have been crushed, is very beneficial. The outside of the rectum should always be kept clean by washing with soap and water. As worms sometimes migrate to the sexual organs, itching in these parts may indicate their presence. The injection mentioned above should also be extended to these organs.
