Question by SheSaid: Please help, my dog threw up a worm? Transmittable to people?
I’m taking her to the vet in 1 hour, but I’ve been doing some research online and I’m worried. If it’s round worm I guess it can be transmitted to humans. She pooped in the house yesterday and I cleaned it up, but if she has eggs is a regular household cleaner going to kill them? I don’t want her/us to contract more worms! I will ask the vet, but I’m living in Spain and I’d appreciate a US or UK vets input on this one.

Answer by Jessie
The only way to get round worm is if you eat her poop or lick your fingers after you clean up her poop.
Just wash your hands with hot water and soap.
