Can humans get worms from an infected dog?
I was wondering if you could get worms from a dog that has worms, like tapeworm, hookworm, heartworm…
If so how? Like can you get it if an infected dog licks younear your mouth?

edit: Don't worry saliva contact isn't how worms are spread.

yes those worms can be transferred to people( even heart worms) the most common way to pass worms is through the feces you shouldnt have anything to worry about as long as you don't get your dogs poop near your mouth the only way to become infected is to eat the larvae, but heartworms are carried by mesquitos and can be transferred to humans and animal by a mesquito bite worms like heart worms can also be transferred through the blood
