Can people catch worms from dogs?

Answer

Yes, people can get infected by some worm eggs present on their dog’s fur or in the environment, which can cause serious diseases. Roundworm larvae can travel through the body and cause blindness in severe cases, especially in children. That’s why it’s important to worm your dog regularly, even if you can’t see any worms or your dog looks healthy. Regularly using dog worming tablets can help reduce the risks and protect your whole family.
