A co-worker was told by a friend she should de-worm her child because they have a dog. We've never heard of this. Any truth to this? Can you even de-worm a child before they have worms? Any info much appreciated. Thx.
Answer:
A person only needs to be de-wormed it they have contracted a parasite from their pet. People who own pets and have children need to pay attention to their pet and make sure it does not get worms because it is possible for a family member to get the worms (more likely in children) from the pet. However, if the pet is worm free then your co-worker has nothing to worry about.
Answer:
You might like to know that health problems like Ulcerative Colitis and a few others are not found in third world countries? Reason being most of the kids have 'worms'. Therefore recently they are giving worms to healthy adults with various intestinal diseases to see if they can treat and cure them. Therefore my advise leave well alone, unless your kids either start itching their anus, or notice the worms in their stools. Best of Luck
