A member asked:

My son might have thread worm if dad's o how dud he get it?

From pets: Parasites like worms are often transmitted from pets to humans by fecal contamination. If you have pets that are infected and you allow your pet to roam free and your child to crawl on the same floor, chances are he will later put his contaminated hands in his mouth and get infected.
