Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I work in a healthfood store. Today a woman came into the store and said that she was dealing with a major pin worm infestation and had been dealing with repeated infestations in her home. She had scalp sores, etc. and was asking for a natural remedy. I gave her a few things, Tea Tree Oil, Wormwood, Kyolic garlic, based on some reading that she had done. She was touching everything in site and testing makeup, and I briefly brushed against her coat. I am concerned that she has infected the store and was wondering if I have to be concerned about having them because I came incontact with her. I removed the makeup items that she used so that other customers could not use them. Is there anything else I should do?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! The pin worm (genus Entertains) is a type of roundworm (nematode) infection. In your case it is a one time visit it is highly unlikely that you will have contracted the disease. Transmission can occur via direct contact with contaminated furniture, bedclothes, bedding, towels, toilets, doorknobs, or other objects. Pin worms spread through human-to-human transmission, by ingesting (i.e., swallowing) infectious pin worm eggs so there can always be a possibility. Eggs remain viable in moist environment for up to 3 weeks. I advise if you are too troubled you can take albendazole or mebendazole for treatment. Mop the surfaces with disinfectant like chlorhexidine. Practice "Handwashing"! I hope it will solve your problem.
