Did you Know?

Hello everyone,

Here is some news you may or may not want to know. Yesterday a 13 year old girl came into emerge because she found a 6 inch worm in her stool. This was something I thought you would only see in a third world country. The doctor assured me that yes! it is seen here in Canada. So.... wash your hands! before you eat, especially after using public bathrooms. I will not post a picture as I feel it will ruin my blog. I have added above this post, a link to a great web site that shows the cycle of the worm, how it enters the body and finally the treatment for it. There are some great pictures as well.

Thank you sparing us the picture...yuck! I knew dogs could get worms, but had no idea that humans could get these types of worms too! They can make dogs very sick and puppies can die from them. Thanks for the info!

I love Rudy...I just spent 10 minutes playing with him. He's going to be very fat!
