I would have thought that it would be very easy to avoid if one just washes ones hands after touching cat or dog faeces. As I said, it cannot be contracted by just touching an animal, and that would have to be an infected animal. There are not that many animals infected with this disease either, especially if they have been routinely wormed. It is quite a simple task to just wash after doing anything that involves touching earth or anything outside, in case of infected wildlife as well. Dee

Another point is that parasitic infection may be MUCH more common than is commonly believed. - kathryn
