Sorry to hear that, sometimes I like my dogs more than people never had a dog not love me
uestion: What are heartworms, and can I catch them from my dog?
Most pet owners have heard of heartworms. But what do heartworms look like and how are they transmitted from animal to animal? Learn the answers to these questions and more in this FAQ.
Answer: What are Heartworms, and can I catch them from my dog?
Heartworms are large worms that live in the hearts of dogs and cats. They are also found in other species; including ferrets, foxes, wolves, sea lions, and horses. Dogs are the common host for this parasite. Humans are not a natural host for heartworm, but there have been a few rare reports of human cases. In humans, the heartworm is usually found as a single worm in the lung versus the heart. Heartworm is also known as Dirofilaria Immitis. It is a long, spaghetti-like worm that can be anywhere from 6 to 14 inches in length (~17 - 27 cm). Female worms are longer than the male heartworms.
Heartworms cannot be spread animal-to-animal; heartworms need a mosquito to complete their life cycle.
Oh yes indeed. The toxin put out by parasites do the real damage. In fact, the new brain worm thing going on in the south west (do to illegals coming in) isn’t so bad till the worms dies, then the toxins kill you. It’s thier feces and dead bodies, not to mention the nutrients they rob your body of.
Most of what is getting into us can no longer be cured by parasiticals, and I’ve done them all. Once I found out what was going on I stopped eating meat altogether, fluke worms are endemic in Americans today, alot of of the diseases for which they do not understand the cause are caused by parasites. Ask youself why Americans don’t get parasites while the rest of the world is plagued by them, the answer is we are, only we aren’t being treated, you will be scoffed at if you go to your doctor and say you have worms, even thought the CDC just put out a report stating 1 in 10 pet owners are infected with them (in truth, the number is far higher). And testing for them is like finding a needle in a haystack (using western techniques). In india they can diagnose nematode (worm infections) in 15 minutes with ultrasound, here in America, they don’t have a clue how to find them, and with less than a handful of real parasitologists nationwide goodluck.
I know you’ve done a lot of research, so I don’t doubt you.
I do have a question though: wouldn’t a test like an MRI show worms?
yep, my thoughts exactly
They are trying to make it super automatic to break their tyrannical hypocritical “standards.”
