It is easier to prevent roundworms than to cure them. Some preventative steps are: good personal hygiene; avoiding contact with fecal matter; not eating uncooked or unwashed fruits and vegetables; keeping away from mosquito or fly-infested areas; not drinking unfiltered water; not touching the soil in areas where roundworm infections are common; wearing protective clothing; using insect repellant; cooking or freezing meat thoroughly; keeping children away from pet feces; and de-worming pets.
