I thought pinworms were an intestinal parasite and headlice were external parasites, often found in hair.

There are treatments available for both, both prescription and over the counter.

Here's the info on pinworms: Pinworm Infection -- familydoctor.org (http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/children/parents/common/stomach/139.html#ArticleParsysMiddleColumn0001)

And headlice: Welcome to HeadLice.org (http://www.headlice.org/)
