Are there Parasites in Cats and Humans That Can be Transmitted?
Yes, absolutely! Anywhere cats defecate there is almost certainly a large number of roundworm eggs. Children are especially susceptible to ingesting roundworm eggs as they may play in the soil where cats have defecated. When ingested, these eggs can hatch, leading to a worm infestation and potential serious health problems, including blindness! It is estimated that nearly 10,000 children are infected with roundworm each year. Hookworm larvae can enter the skin and create lesions throughout the body. Tapeworms are usually caused from flea bites or ingesting an infected flea. |
