My dog has worms can me and my family get them and if so what do i get to treat us befor we get them ?

Probably not: The most common worms in dogs are roundworms called toxicara canis. In order to be infectious, the eggs need to be in warm moist soil for some time. Rarely, humans can become infected by contact with contaminated soil. It's best to keep your dogs dewormed and avoid contaminated soil.
