Yes, hookworms are able to penetrate intact skin and that is actually the main way for a person to become infected. Hookworms usually infect a person who has been walking barefoot in contaminated soil. Most people who are infected show no symptoms and do not even know that they have the parasite. If a person does show adverse symptoms, and it is due to hookworm, there is medicine to treat the infected person.

The underlying cause would be increased blood flow; however, there are several reasons why this could have occurred.
One is trauma - a scrape, scratch or bruise to the skin or underlying muscle would cause the skin to turn red. This would be more visible if the overlying hair had also been removed.
Another is infection, which can be either bacterial or fungal in nature. There is usually a foul-smelling greasy exudate on the skin and it tends to itch like crazy.
Third would be an allergic reaction, which could be to anything from fleas to food to pollen.
Your veterinarian will be able to help sort out exactly what happened, as well as prescribe appropriate treatment. A wound would be treated with cleaning, fur trimming and giving it time to heal; an infection needs antibiotics of some sort and allergies need avoidance therapy.

The seed should have the consistency of a squishy almond and a light pleasant taste. Some reports suggest that the seed may be high in B17 and aid in the treatment of cancer.
