My dog is always throwing up pooping and peeing on the carpet and i always walk barefoot could i get worms or parasites?

Possible: Veterinarians check for parasites and infections during animal exams. It is not a good idea to expose feet and skin to any waste as this is a possible route of many types of infections and parasites. It is essential for human health and sanitation to avoid direct contact with waste of any kind, thoroughly clean hands and exposed areas well after contact, and to have animals examined regularly.
