What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing anal or vaginal itching, especially at night, or if someone in your household has been diagnosed with pinworms. It's also useful if you have a child scratching around their bottom, trouble sleeping, or irritability that could be linked to a pinworm infection. Since pinworms spread easily between family members, this test helps confirm whether you or your child are infected so you can treat it early.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what a positive or negative result means. If the result is positive, simple next steps include treating the infection, washing bedding and clothing in hot water, and having other household members tested since pinworms spread quickly among family. You can download the full lab report anytime from your account, and if you retest later, the trends feature lets you track results over time.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone with itching around the anal or vaginal area, especially at night, should consider this test. It's also smart for parents of young children in daycare or school settings, where pinworms spread easily, and for households where one member has already tested positive. Testing everyone in the home helps stop the infection from passing back and forth.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

The most common sign is intense itching around the anus or vagina, which usually gets worse at night when the worms are most active. Other signs include restless sleep, irritability, mild stomach discomfort, or occasionally seeing small white worms in stool or around the anal area. Kids may also scratch a lot without an obvious reason, which is a common clue for parents.

How can I naturally support recovery from a pinworm infection?

Good hygiene habits make the biggest difference: wash hands often, especially after using the bathroom and before eating, and keep fingernails short and clean since eggs can hide underneath them. Wash bedding, pajamas, and underwear in hot water and avoid shaking them out, which can spread eggs into the air. Showering in the morning helps remove eggs laid overnight, and vacuuming shared spaces regularly can reduce the chance of reinfection.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being received at the lab. You'll get a notification once they're posted to your account, where you can view and download the full report.

What causes a pinworm infection?

Pinworm infections happen when someone swallows microscopic pinworm eggs, often from contaminated hands, surfaces, toys, or food. Eggs can survive on bedding, clothing, and household surfaces for up to two weeks, which is why the infection spreads so easily within families and classrooms. Scratching an itchy area and then touching your mouth, or touching shared objects, is the most common way eggs get passed around.

How often should I retest for pinworms?

If your first test is negative but symptoms continue, it's reasonable to retest within a week or two, since pinworm eggs aren't always caught on the first sample. After treatment, many households retest in 2-3 weeks to confirm the infection is fully cleared, especially if young children or multiple family members were involved.

What should I do if my results are positive?

If you test positive, treat the infection and take steps to prevent it from spreading, like washing bedding and clothes in hot water, keeping nails trimmed, and encouraging frequent handwashing. It's also a good idea to test other household members, since pinworms move quickly between people living in the same home. If itching is severe or doesn't improve after treatment, seek medical care.

What is a pinworm infection and why does it matter?

A pinworm infection is caused by small, thin, white worms called Enterobius vermicularis that live in the intestines and lay eggs around the anus, usually at night. It matters because while it's rarely dangerous, it's very contagious and can cause ongoing itching, disrupted sleep, and irritability, especially in kids. Catching and treating it early helps prevent it from spreading to the rest of the household.
