2006-12-09 12:30:57 · update #1
I got my kitten from my boss and she lives on a farm. He had gotten sick before he vet appt. and he threw up. It looked like he threw up noodles...but they were roundworms. We actually got him into the vet that day, and they treated him. Yes, roundworms can be passed on to humans. They didn't go into all the details, but they made it very clears not to let him lick our faces and mouths. They can pass it on through their saliva.

comparable precise virus. confident, if the cat paws at its eyes and you or extremely little ones touch their paws, then the baby/human have an remarkable probability of having the virus. The virus has a time line of how long it may stay exterior of the "source", yet i don't know the dimensions. in basic terms supply the cat the attention drops and save your and your little ones hands washed oftentimes, extremely after dealing with the cat. The virus gets out of its contagious variety in a quick time and then the prospect is over. in the experience that your little ones are the right age determine they know to bathe their hands in the present day and in no way, in no way placed their very own hands in or around their eyes. stable success. a sprint care taking for a quick era and all would be high quality back. God Bless you and yours, Hartdawg

Nope, I had the same question not too long ago. They are not contagious to humans. Ring worm is not a worm, it is a fungus. Cats catch roundworms from fleas, oddly enough. The fleas have the larvae in their saliva, so when you get fleas, you usually get worms. Hope this helps, but don't worry, they won't crawl in your butt.

Yes, they can. The roundworms lay eggs inside The cat.s intestine, which are passed out in faeces. When you touch the cat and eat without washing yur hands, they can get into your intestine, hatch and grow into rounworms.
