The first thing I would like to say is, do not let Anyone tell you that you are nuts. If the doctors you are going to are going to treat you this way stop going to them. You know your body better than anyone else and if something isn't right you know. Now I believe in ICU's mebendazole protocol info on pinworm life cycle is posted and it is probably suggested that you repeat the treatment at least once to clean up any worms that have hatched since you began treatment. Since you are treating with Albendazole instead you will follow the same just with Albendazole instead. //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1564827#i To answer another question, just because you were on Albendazole does not mean you could not get reinfected when the worms crawl back in the anus-Young worms are often resilient to medicine and if the Albendazole was not peaking at the exact time they entered the GI tract then yes they can survive. When you are feeling back up to it, consider taking Albendazole for a week take a 7 day rest then repeat. Anytime there is anal itching you will need another round because this means they are laying eggs.
