It turns out that my pets have roundworms. I actually saw a big worm just sticking out of some of my pet's droppings...

Okay, how possible is it that *I* have roundworms? By inadvertent contact through my pets?

What to look out for?

And...just to be safe...would taking a few shots of Vodka on a regular basis solve the problem?

Look for weird symptoms. I think the most common sites of disease are eyes and brain, but it can affect liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and skin as well.

Probably not. If it can survive your stomach I don't think 40% alcohol would be much of a challenge.

If you DO have an infection, it can be cured with antiparasitic drugs; otherwise, you can wait it out because the larvae cause symptoms by dying inside the human body - they don't replicate AFAIK.

Pretty much everyone has parasites and worms in some amount. If you eat somewhat bad and don't poop a lot like you should then they thrive in the backed up system. Or if you are sick for a long time they multiply. If you have pets you're pretty much guaranteed to have them. Which is one reason I think it's gross people have pets in the house. All you have to do is get one of the tiny eggs on your clothes or sleeve and touch your mouth. Or the dog licks you or something. It's not hard. They walk on their own crap and walk on your clothes. They lick themselves all the time.

If you've ever been to another country you most likely have some too (or more). From Under cooked meats too.

I had been sick and a couple months ago I started getting wiggling and itching on my skin and my butt. I did a parasite detox and about 3 different kinds came out of my poop. About a couple dozen or so worms.

A lot of people are really surprised when they feel totally healthy but do a parasite detox and some come out (or a lot). But they love sugar and bread (white bread especially). Love alcohol too since it turns to sugar. Grease and fats too.

They hate vegetables. Especially hate carrots, raw pumpkin seeds, pineapple juice, raw garlic, cloves, wormwood, black walnut, and some others.

Get some parasite detox on amazon. It should have 3 of the major ingredients that kills them naturally. Watch some videos on youtube, you'll be so grossed out. It think like 40 million people alone have pinworms in the US. "Dr. Oz says 90 percent of humans will have a problem with parasites in their lifetime.". Weather you notice you have them or not is a different story, you may not realize that the problem you were having was from a parasite, doesn't mean they aren't there. And sometimes they get out of control and really need to be dealt with. I think it's best just to do a parasite detox every now and again though. Keep the little boogers out as much as possible.

Yes, you can. If you do, (iirc), the roundworm life cycle means that you'll only be infected for one lifespan, unless you're reinfected. Dogs lick their butts - that reinfects them. (I'm not googling; so this is off the top of my head) - the roundwords shed their eggs- you also end up with itching/tickling at the opposite end from your mouth. That results in many animals itching or licking - or for humans, scratching. Involuntarily scratch that nagging tickly feeling during your sleep, and it doesn't take too much more to be infected. Or, have a pet that's shedding eggs on your bed - a couple eggs on the pillow, a roll onto your face while sleeping, and you're infected.

IIRC, a lot of the heartworm medications have as the active ingredient an anthelmintic drug that fights certain types of parasites. If you're treating your dog monthly, I *think* that also covers roundworms. Though, some parasites are developing resistance to these drugs. (Occasionally switching the drug being used can help prevent this.) A lot of the common brands of heartworm preventatives contain ivermectin - and ivermectin works pretty good on a variety of intestinal parasites as well. So, if you're treating your dog monthly for heartworm, it's far less likely that you'll wind up with a ruondworm infection from your pet.

You can buy food grade diatomaceous earth and take a spoon a day if you are concerned. Safe and effective.

I really doubt you would get worms from your pet, not unless you cook or eat next to its poop. D:
