These tablets can be bought at the major pharmacies anywhere in the Philippines. Take one tablet. Can't hurt you if you don't have worms.
Very effective - my neice had worms, and it got rid of them.

Tell them to go buy one for each in the family, They cost from 50P - 100P depending on where you get them.

We take them as a precaution, since it can't hurt you, either way.

Medical Care:

Albendazole or mebendazole is the drug of choice. With these drugs, a short-term cure may be achieved in 90-95% of children, with up to a 99% reduction in egg counts. Quarterly retreatment of Zanzibari preschool children resulted in improved anemia and malnutrition after one year.
Rapid reinfection is common in endemic areas and is made particularly problematic by the high prevalence and worm burden in adults who are untreated and who continue to contaminate soil.
Repeated community treatment may result in an emerging drug resistance. In a Zanzibari population of children treated repeatedly over 5 years, cure and egg elimination rates both decreased significantly with time. This suggests the need for a renewed emphasis on community-wide sanitation, education, and, possibly, vaccine development.
Iron replacement and nutritional supplementation (protein and vitamins) should be part of the management strategy and may have greater efficacy than anthelmintics in reducing morbidity.

Have em dip snuff it will kill the damn things, or if they are little boys the local Priest can usually give em an injection it takes longer for AIDs to kill the worms though.
