The eegs will be under the fingernails and as your little girl holds her hand, she will also me putting her hands to her mouth etc!
The child has to be treated to get rid, or there will be a vicious circle!

Worms come out of the anus when it is dark and the body is still i.e. when you are asleep. They lay their eggs around the outside of the anus. If you really want to know if your daughter has them, rather than give her medication, check on her at night with a torch - be quick because as soon as you shine the light the worms quickly crawl back in. They are white and very, very thin. Little girls can get them in the vagina aswell so they need treating quickly. A sign of this is a slight discharge in their knickers
