I watch a program on TV called The Monsters Inside Us - it comes on down here every Thursday - it goes through true stories of people who end up with parasites - it scares the heck out of you when you see the problems people have from getting some kind of parasite - some people actually die - there was a story about this girl who was going blind in her one eye - finally a eye doctor checked and found a worm in the back of her eye - it showed the doctor operating on her eye and getting a hold of the worm - he slowly started pulling out the worm very carefully so it wouldn't break off - he kept pressure on the worm and it gradually slowly came out - 8 inches long - it was a heart worm that the girl got from a dog - I think that if you have a pet around the house it is a good bet to have a stool sample checked by a vet at least once a year - and if a dog to get some heart worm medicine
I watched the same show , interesting and scary "what you can get and from where ".
