Visual guide to baby poop, Korean Name, pinworms

A visual guide to baby poop - thanks, Teresa! :D

Facebook quiz taken from Kaitlin:

Leslie took the quiz "What's Your Korean Name?" and got the result: Young (요웅) - "eternal"! Your Korean name is "Young" (요웅). Your name means "eternal" in Korean.


Poo nugget for Wednesday, October 7: Dr. Stool Says - Pinworms - These small parasites reside in the small intestine and colon, and only emerge at night to lay their eggs in the perianal region. In addition to laying over ten thousand eggs at a time, these clever creatures secrete a substance that causes a very strong itching sensation around the anus. Uncomfortable for the host, the itching plays a vital role in the spread of infection by contaminating the host's fingers, and helping to transfer the eggs to other household areas. These little buggers can be detected by sticking a piece of transparent tape to the anus in the morning and examining it for pinworm eggs.
