A member asked:
I was outside walking my dog and stepping in an area infested with worms (canine worms). what should i do? i don't want them or want my dog to get it

Hookworm?: Or other? HOW DO YOU KNOW it is infested? Are there numerous dog droppings there? If this concerns you, try a different route. Are you worried that you or the dog got infested? You might consult a vet.
