    The document describes the adhesive tape method for detecting pinworm eggs, noting that clear adhesive tape, microscope slides, gloves, and xylene or butyl acetate are needed materials. The procedure involves using tape to take a sample from the peri-anal skin in the morning, sticking the tape to a microscope slide, and placing a drop of xylene on the tape's edge to remove air bubbles before examining under a microscope.
