Can any intestinal parasites be passed from a dog to people? - The Drake Center

Yes, and, unfortunately, some parasites can cause blindness in children. They can also cause skin problems. We take parasites very seriously. Although they're entirely preventable and treatable, we do not ever want children to be exposed to intestinal parasites.

They can. Certain ones can be caught by humans. And often, that's going to be due to exposure from either not being necessarily hygienic, so perhaps not washing your hands well after cleaning up from your dog's poop and ingesting some eggs. Or you can get exposed by being out in the yard and stepping in dog poop while barefoot. So, children are certainly ones that are a little more prone to getting these. But if they step on the eggs themselves, then they can have worms that can be brought up through their skin as well.
