People dont usually get hookworms, or not in the way that dogs and cats do anyway. Our skin is too thick for them to enter the body easily and too complex for them to travel into deeper tissues and especially not all the way too the digestive tract. However, people can get cutaneous larvae migration in there skin from contaminated soils.

Your husbands belly probably just hurts from thinking about internal parasites. Its enough to make any one grossed out.

Question by Genie?Angel: Can a puppy that has parasites pass them on to humans?
I brought my new puppy home and he has diarrhea. (or soft stools.. soft yellow… did it right in the kennel carrier I brought him home in)! (He also vomited but that MAY have been due to car sickness or nervous stomach).

Of course, I handled him a lot and he’d squiggle and quickly lick my mouth before I knew it.

I had made an appt with the vet and then got VERY SICK myself… so I couldn’t take him. I had profuse violent water streaking diarrhea for 2 solid days straight and vomiting. I was so weak I stayed in bed for 2 days, I could barely get up.

I am OK now.

It could have been a coincidence of getting a stomach virus, but is it possible for puppies to pass on parasites, such as giardia, tapeworms, flukes, whipworms, coccidia, etc. to humans….

and other pets in the household, including both dogs and cats?

Thanks

P.S. I once had chronic giardia for over a year, couldn’t get rid of it … finally did… never did find out HOW I got it 10 years ago
Thank you. I am bring a stool sample to the vet tomorrow.

If he has something can he pass something on to my other dog or my cat?

Question by ABM1109: can humans get this from dogs?
I recently adopted a dog from the animal shelter. They told me she had whipworms and gave me the medicine to give her. Can I get these worms from her? If so, how and what symptoms would I have? I searched online and some websites say humans can get it and other websites say you cant get it. Also, after I give the medicine, do the worms pass out in their stool like roundworms do?
