To control parasites, you might be asked to provide a sample of poo so it can be tested for worm eggs. If you have worms, a GP will prescribe medicine to kill them. You take this for 1 to 3 days. The people you live with may also need to be treated. Any worms in your gut will eventually pass out in your poo. To avoid becoming infected again or infecting others, it's very important during the weeks after starting treatment to wash your hands: after going to the toilet, before eating or preparing food, regularly during the day. There are some things you can do to help prevent worm infections. Do wash your hands before eating or preparing food, and after touching soil or using the toilet. Only drink bottled or boiled water in high-risk areas. Thoroughly wash garden-grown fruit and vegetables. Deworm pet dogs and cats regularly. Dispose of dog and cat poo in a bin as soon as possible.

SCOPS is an industry led group that works in the interest of the UK sheep industry. It recognises that, left unchecked, anthelmintic resistance is one of the biggest challenges to the future health and profitability of the sector. The SCOPS group was formed to develop sustainable strategies for parasite control in sheep, facilitate and oversee the delivery of these recommendations to the industry and ensure that new research and development is incorporated to refine and improve advice given to the sheep industry. The equivalent organisation for cattle is the Control Of Worms Sustainably (COWS).
