Answer 8

Look dont worry. Go to your local chemist and get a medicene that can kill anything you have . You take it once its a 5ml liqid oraly ingested thing mostly. The worms are normally harmless if they are from a dog. But please dont leave the dog. Take it to a vet because although they are harmless in a human they arent in a dog and can be horribly painful for the animal.

Answer 12

Ignorance is really really stupid to spread--you need to get good information.

Dogs with worms can be treated very easily.  The worms are either going to come out by barfing up the stomach contents, or they'll come out the other end.  Your exposure to live worms would be from the barf or handling the dog p**p.

You have to INGEST the worms to get them. Since you only pet the dog, there's not any way that they would transfer to you.  You would have had to eat the live worms to get them into you, and you did not do that. You do not have worms.

Even if you had a real exposure (which this isnt the case with the dog), most kids get them from other kids, or from unwashed vegetable foods--and any pharmacist can give you something to get rid of the worms if you do catch them that way.

Put your mind at ease, from what you described, you were not exposed at all.  The dog wasn't even diagnosed as having worms--which would be really easy to check, the owner only has to take a p**p sample in to the vets and they'd check it.

I feel sorry for that poor dog.  No medical treatment and being secluded and not petted because of ignorance.
