A member asked:

Can prolonged exposure to dog feces and urine that has been soaked into the floor cause health problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: It depends on whether the urine/feces had any parasites (worms) and their (worms) resistance to the medium they are in. If none are present, then the exposure is most likely harmless.
