Can't get rid of pinworms . Used several courses of Albendazole, Mebendazole , spryed the house with Eradacator, and I do all the recommended types of cleaning. I 've done everything.

Thanks for your query at HCM!

You are suffering fro intestinal parasite nematode Enterobius vermicularis.
As you are non responsive to the treatment I suggest you need to mebendazole, or albendazole or pyrantel pamoate 3 doses seperated by 3 weeks of treatment for effective cure.
I recommend get the whole family members including children in the house treated for the infection.
Follow good hygiene practices.
You need to get your stool test at least 3 times tested for routine microscopy for parasites to confirm the diagnosis.
Take care!
