A dog expert explained what diseases a dog can infect a person with
Dogs can become not only friends, but also carriers of some diseases.
We will talk about illnesses that a dog can transmit to a person.
If preventive measures are not followed and vaccinations are not given, the dog can infect the owner with dangerous diseases.
RIA Novosti reports the details with reference to the President of the Russian Cynological Federation (RKF) Vladimir Golubev.
It is noted that one of the most dangerous diseases is rabies. It is not treatable and often ends tragically. Infection can occur through saliva.
In addition, an animal suffering from ringworm can transmit this disease to the owner. The disease causes unpleasant sensations, including itching.
Pets can also become carriers of tuberculosis. Infection can occur through food or airborne droplets.
According to Golubev, contact with a sick animal can cause a person to become ill with echinococcosis. This disease often leads to damage to bones, muscles, and organs.
To protect against diseases, the RKF president advised observing personal hygiene rules, vaccinating your pet every year, and visiting a veterinarian.
