Because humans can contract
roundworm, hookworm, and tapeworm from pets, it is important to maintain
good personal hygiene. It is also important to eliminate fleas on the pet and
in the household and to not feed the pet rodents or uncooked meat or fish.
To prevent reinfection, daily cleanup of stools
is recommended.
