Would bidets help a pinworm infestee alleviate their pinworm infection?

When I went to shop pinworm medicine for a customer today, I learned about pinworm today. Apparently it comes from anal itches and scratching that area.

So would a bidet mitigate the pinworm problem any? What difference will a bidet make for someone infected with pinworms?

It’s also an infestation that would clear itself out fairly quickly, but the eggs are microscopic and very very easily run back through the system when you scratch your crack, especially if you aren’t properly washing your hands for a full thirty seconds after each time. Which I think is where OP is getting a bit confused.

At least in the US eating food is not the principal cause of pinworms.

It is endemic in young children who pass it along because they have poor hygiene and so they are touching items which has feces from other infected children and then putting their fingers in their mouth

Adults in the US don't generally get pinworms because most adults have better hygiene and aren't around children with pinworms so their environment is unlikely to be contaminated.

I think only if you had one with a hose that would provide you a high colonic. Get meds. They are easy to get rid of, ask anyone living in the deep south. Used to get them as a kid playing in Mississippi back in the 50s.

If they have not been diagnosed with pinworm, there is a good chance it is just a yeast infection which can cause intense itching.
