Can you catch a disease called toxicara from dog feces?
Yes, you can contract an infection with Toxocara from dog feces. Toxocara is a species of roundworm and it causes serious health issues in humans each year. As the parasite migrates through the body of the aberrant host (humans) it damages the organs that is passes through--liver, eye and brain are typical sites for damage. This parasite's eggs can remain viable in the environment for 10 years or longer, so it is very important that dog feces (and cat feces) be cleaned up immediately to help prevent environmental contamination with the eggs of this roundworm. This is an extremely common parasite in puppies and is dangerous to the pup as well as to humans, thus the recommendations for frequent deworming starting as early as 2 weeks of age for puppies.
Can you get this parasite from your dog?
Yes, humans can contract parasites from dogs. The two most concerning parasites in the United States are roundworms and hookworms. Both worms shed their eggs in the dog's intestine and are excreted in the dog's feces. For roundworms, if a human contacts the soil or feces with the eggs and then accidentally transfers the eggs to their mouth, they can have a severe infestation that can lead to organ failure or blindness. Hookworms are a little nastier, as they can hatch in the soil then burrow through the soles of your feet to infest you.
