My pediatrician once told me that probaby a third of all the kids in the
state of Texas have pinworms at any given time.  He also said, "Show me a kid
who has never had pinworms, and I'll show you a kid with no friends."  Given
the rather ubiquitous nature of parasitic infestation in warm climates, I
begged Dr. Hale to include vermox in the next edition of his red book.  He
assures me it will be in there.
