do worms make a child more hungry?



Answer:
Hiya I think its just an old wives tale when your mum usually says "you must have worms" because your still hungry or wanting more food as a kid.
The only symptons you usually have are itching around your bottom and night when the worms come out to lay eggs around ya bottom and you may see them when you go to the toilet.
if a child has a really heavy burden or infestation of worms they can get that bloated pot belly look,but this is usually only in severe cases
hope that helps!
Thread worms? Can make a child hungrier or put em off food. Makes em irritable too. Horrible little things (worms I mean). You can put thread worms in google search and it tells you that they can affect a childs appetite. Ovex tablets will get rid in one dose. Wash all bedding thoroughly and iron it too. cut child's nails to prevent them swallowing eggs and re infestation occurring
