Icky question?


Question:
Ok, I babysit a 20 month old daily and sometimes other children a few days a week, and they sometimes bathe at my house. Ok, I have seen tiny, white/red worms in the corners of the tub. The worms look bloody or are at least blood colored. They are still alive and it creeps me out alot. I have a very clean tub, obviously since I have the kids parents constantly checking my house to make sure it is clean. I bleach the tub and use Comet powder it in every other day. So does this sound like pinwrms or something? All the kids are in diapers and I never see any worms or eggs in their stool. None of the parents have montioned infection. Also, I read up on pinworms, and know that kids will be itchy and squirmy after sleeping, but I have never seen any of the kids doing this. Please help, I have no idea what to do.

Answers:
That is bizarre! I really dont know what it could be, but the pinworms would be the most logical guess. I would call a local hospital and talk to a nurse or a pediatrician! Good luck!
why don't you make a search for types of worms.
I searched, but since I dont really know how they look
Mention it to the parents.maybe they are aware but dont want to say anything.
Are they there after the kids bathe or before? If it's after then the kids are the problem.
