More commonly known as the pinworm, Enterobius is a common intestinal parasite in humans. If you are more interested in larger parasites, then the pinworm is the perfect one for you. The pinworm does not cause any serious medical complications and is more of a nuisance than a disease. This is because the chief symptom caused by this parasite is itching around the anal area, which is more persistent during the night. If the itching becomes too much for you to handle, the pinworm can be treated using benzimidazole compound medications. Give the pinworm a try and order it today!
