See the thing is I don't KNOW that I have them, just that I unknowingly did housecleaning in a house where people apparently had them (saw a bottle of pinworm medicine in the bathroom after I'd already been cleaning for 2 hours.) So I don't want to just try and get medication without KNOWING that I have them. I might not. Chances are I probably do but I want to know for sure.

They probably won't test you anyway? I'm sorry if that's going to cause you more anxiety, but the only test a GP would do is the tape test, and that would have to have a follow up visit, because it needs to be done in the morning, and it can easily give a false negative. Faecal testing isn't accurate, and the easiest one for small children is looking with a torch in the middle of the night, but you probably don't want people looking at your butt while you sleep.

Most likely they would send you to the pharmacy.

Anyway, it's a very common OTC medication, and some people choose to take it once a year as a precaution.

I know it's completely disgusting to think about, but worms are very common and usually very easy to treat. They fall in the "please god nooooo" category of things like head lice, fungal infections, and cold sores. I'd say everyone has to deal with stuff they'd rather not think about at least once.
